• Or if you want to make the soup a little healthier, skip the bacon or ham. Most people really like bacon or ham, so if you want more flavorful soup, don’t skip the bacon or ham, but if you really want to make your soup a little healthier, then skip the pork.
• You could also add in some steamed cauliflower or broccoli, maybe even some carrots; that way you will get your veggies in for the day. It will also add some color to your soup.
