Eat Your Way Slim With Soup

If you worried about bathing suit weather now that June is here, then pick yourself up some soup at the grocery store -- it will help you slender out your body and get you ready for those sun bathing and swimming days ahead.

You might be thinking, "who wants to eat hot soup on a hot day?" Well, actually these soups are chilled so they are still refreshing, good tasting, and require zero cooking. So they're fast and easy, and good for you! They also, apparently, have "proven slimming power." Here's the one I felt was the yummiest ring to it. I think I might just head to the grocery store today so I can try it out!
