I've just started my diet and I need some help. Eating nothing but vegetables with my turkey or fish I've been eating is getting boring. Any ideas on some good healthy soups?

    There is a great soup that Racheal Ray makes called rock soup you can get the recipe on her website! Its full of veggies and tastes wonderful. It also has sausage in it but that could easily be subsituted with any other meat such as turkey!
