Quickest dinner ever...really!

Okay so I have continually struggled with eating healthy because in my mind it was always hard and took a ton of time. Until recently I discovered it's just about throwing healthy things together to make your own delicious meal. There is no need to follow the hour long recipes with stuff that tastes just "okay" or falling into the trap of "healthy" recipes that really are not that good for you.
I have a confession though, I love soup! It's easy to make, delicious, and super filling. Plus you can really do anything you want to it. 
So here is a meal idea for people like me who don't realize how easy it is to cook healthy and don't really want to cook long dinners but really want a quick delicious healthy meal.

I'll call this umm....
Quick soup from your fridge!
(to generic? I'm not a creative at naming, call it whatever you want LOL!)

Start with however much water you want and bring to a boil.
 I did 4 cups

Throw in whatever bullion cubes you want (you could use broth but substitute that for some water)
I chose 2 veggie cubes

Throw in whatever veggies you want. (You can also add meat, I'd have precooked meat if you want this to be fast, but cooking it doesn't take to much more time)
I picked about 10 sugar snap peas, 10 carrots, 5 strips of bell peppers, 2 stalks of celery (and even 4 pieces of apple)
 
Cut all these ups into the size you want, put into boiling water
took me about two minutes

Add spices (whatever you want!) 
I picked garlic powder, pepper, a tiny bit of cinnamon and basil

Boil veggies in water
I did this for about 10 minutes, until everything is soft

Ready to eat!
MMM SO GOOD! 

Seriously though, takes about 12-15 minutes all together for a delicious healthy meal that you can make however YOU want!
