All in Starts Tomorrow! Fight Flushing Soup!

My 24 day challenge is here!  It's time to go "All In!"  Starts Wednesday January 7th Nationwide!  

Success Tip:One tip I shared on Facebook is to wear the armband if you aren't used to wearing arm bands or bracelets to wear it as much as possible.  It's kind of annoying and drives me crazy, but reminds me not to give in to cravings and give up on exercise!

Ingredients

• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1" cubes (optional, 1 medium zucchini sliced into 1" round pieces)
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Kosher or sea salt to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon allspice
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained (optional, the beans are for added protein)
• 2 cups vegetable broth, low-sodium
• 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes (no salt added)
• 4 cups baby spinach, loosely packed

Directions

Add all ingredients, except spinach, to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, or until the vegetables are tender. Add spinach, stir and continue cooking just until wilted, approximately 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Tip: If you prefer a thicker stew, after 5 hours of cooking, simply remove 1 cup of soup, along with ingredients, mash ingredients with a fork, return to the slow cooker, stir and continue cooking 1 to 3 hours.

Stovetop Method: Follow the same instructions above for prep, cover, and simmer until veggies are tender, approximately 2 hour. Stir every 15 minutes to prevent sticking. Add spinach at the end of cooking time, remove from heat, cover and allow spinach to wilt before serving.

I forgot to take a picture right after cooking, so this is after refrigeration!  It's a good soup with hearty veggies and protein!  Eli loves it and I liked it to!  I'm a huge fan on soups during Advocare Product use because it's easy to get a tasty, variety of veggies in so I'm always looking for good soup recipes!
