Isn’t this soup pretty? I love all of the colors of red, orange, green, yellow, black and white. If color is an indication of a healthy recipe, this soup is a winner. Â I had several vegetables needing to be used up and the combination ended up being a perfect compliment to each other. The sweetness of the corn, the tender zucchini, creaminess of the avocado, brightness from the lime, the variety of beans and texture. The whole thing was deliciously healthy! If you need a low calorie, low fat meal this soup will give you that without missing any of the flavor you are craving!
