Looking for some of the most popular Dash Diet Phases 1 Soup recipes, here are some of my favorite.

DASH DIET VEGETABLE SOUP

Vegetable Soups can have a variety of your favorite vegetables in them, but keeping them low sodium can be a little tricky.

The best way to reduce sodium in your cooking is to use fresh ingredients. If you have to use canned or frozen veggies, look for low sodium options, and rinse them before adding to the pot. 

Remember in Phase One use non starchy vegetables.

Ingredients and Method 

Dice hard vegetables carrots, onions, winter squash, all the colors of bell peppers- place them in the bottom of the slow cooker insert.

Cut any meat you're adding into bite-sized bits and add it on top of the vegetables. Stick with fresh meats; processed meats like ham, corned beef and sausage can contain upwards of 1,000 milligrams of sodium per serving.

Season with your favorite fresh or dried herbs.

Add tender vegetables like peas and okra.

Cover with sodium-free bouillon dissolved in water.

 For creamy soups or chowders, stir in a half cup of heavy whipping cream (liquid, not whipped), or 1 cup of half-and-half or evaporated milk, maybe try a little coconut milk if you like the taste of coconut.

Cook on high for 6 to 8 hours (or on low for 10 to 12 hours).
