    I’m back and it’s 2018! New year, new me. Totally kidding. But, it’s never a bad time to eat healthier and workout a little more, and this soup is a great way to kick-start a healthier lifestyle. Even if that’s not your goal, this crockpot soup makes dinner a breeze. Easy to make and clean up.

    When I think of healthy eating, I think of whole foods. I’m not about cutting out carbs and only eating salads. I believe in balance. I’m all about from scratch meals, simple protein, whole grains, and lots of colorful fruits and vegetables.

    If you're looking for a soup higher in protein, I recommend adding in 2-3 chicken breasts. Simply add the thawed chicken in the beginning so that it can cook in broth with the vegetables. Before serving, shred the chicken and add it back to the soup.

    Let’s take a few minutes from talking about soup so we can talk about my trip to Vegas, Utah, and Arizona. Okay? Great, because it was lots of fun.

    John’s sister, Linda, and her husband, Steve, invited us to spend a week with them, their kids, and some of Steve’s family at a place they rented in Utah near the Arizona border. So, last week Wednesday, John and I flew out to Las Vegas because it was the closest airport to Kanab, Utah where we were headed. When we arrived, it was already the evening, so we stayed one night in Vegas. John gambled and I went to bed at 9 pm because I’m an old lady.

    The next few nights were spent in Utah at a nice cabin/house with mountains in the background. The evenings were spent outside by the fire, and the days were filled with sightseeing, a little hiking, and just spending quality time with everyone.

    We went to Antelope Canyon X, Horseshoe Bend, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and Zion National Park. They were all amazing for their own reasons. The sand dunes were a blast because everyone went and we rented boards to ride down the dunes. I’ve never experienced anything like it before.

    For me, vacations always filled with lots of eating. When you’re in a house full of food, there is always constant snacking by everyone, along with big meals. So, I was ready to come back home to eating a little lighter and a little healthier. In fact, I had some of this Crockpot Italian Vegetable and Lentil Detox Soup in the freezer. So guess what I had for lunch? Yep, you guessed it, this soup. It hit the spot.

    The soup actually froze well. The vegetables held together nicely, and it tasted just as fresh. The only downside was that I had to add more vegetable broth because the lentils soaked up a lot of the liquid. But, it was no biggie to add more. Simple enough.

    Well, friends, welcome to 2018! I hope your year is filled with lots of delicious food!
