Meal Prep Soup Base

Iron is a mineral found all over the earth.

Recipe Summary Meal Prep Soup Base

I use this basic recipe as a base for Meal Prep Sunday: I make a large batch and eat it for lunch over the week. I add different spices to individual cups to vary the day's flavor. Ground chipotle or curry for heat, ginger or fresh herbs for aroma, etc.
