So what does this Weight Loss Soup Recipe have to do with our Bucket List? No, it’s not on our bucket list to lose weight. Well, kinda…Read on!

My husband loves snow skiing.  As a second job, he has worked as a Pro Ski Patroller for almost 20 years.  So one of the things on his bucket list is that he wants to ski in all 50 states.  Obviously some states don’t have a ski resort and for those states, he usually tries to find a city park, he puts on his boots and skis and will ski down a hill.

He was well aware that the southern states were going to be a challenge. However, just last week they had a storm which deposited snow in the southern states.  Hubby just so happened to have some vacation time coming so we spontaneously flew to Dallas and rented a car for a massive road trip!

In just four days, we drove through Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,  Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee and my husband skied in every state!  We knocked 10 states off his bucket list for a grand total of 30 and so now he has only 20 more to go.  Isn’t that great?

I am not a skier so what did I do during this trip?  Well what else do you do on a road trip but…eat?   Some days we were driving for 12 hours and of course we needed some snacks during our drive.

I might have eaten four candy bars in one day.

Geezo Peezo, no, I really didn’t.

Okay, maybe I really did. 

Which is where today’s post comes in.  Whenever I need to lose a few  pounds this is my go-to food.  It is flavorful and satisfying and is virtually fat free.  (There is just a trace in the corn)  It really helps me to get back on track.  I seriously can eat it every day (and I do) and the pounds start dropping off!    You seriously are going to want this recipe.

I love my crockpot and this is the one that I love!

Sometimes to make a thicker broth, I will blend the diced tomatoes before adding to the soup. I love it this way!
