This pregnancy has made it tough on me to eat really well. My only cravings in my last pregnancies were cheese, fruit, and ice cream...pretty normal I thought and I still managed to eat really healthy. This time around most of usual veggies have just looked blah to me! I haven't been loving my avocado, kale, and broccoli like usual. I've been wanting heartier foods and the carbs...well, lets just say I'm not following paleo!! I think I bought cous cous, quinoa, and whole grain pasta at Trader Joe's yesterday! Along with Greek Yogurt, Tomato soup and the ingredients for this soup that looked super yummy!! What's up with this? Could it be a boy this time?? Anyway, this recipe says "summer", but I will definitely make this in the fall again! It got rave reviews from my hubby too who hated my last attempt at potato soup, so yay for me!! Oh....and Weight Watchers for the recipe!
A few modifications I made....I used frozen white corn, cooked my bacon ahead of time, and I added a little bit of shredded cheddar at the end :) It hit the spot!
