Chocolate is routinely lumped into the category of "indulgent treat" when, in reality, the right type of chocolate should be considered a nutrient-dense superfood. The tricky part lies in figuring out what the right type of chocolate is. Chocolate made from raw cacao is perhaps the...

The original recipe comes from Clean Eating magazine. I couldn't help myself though; it didn't have onions and that just isn't right in our house! How can you have a vegetable soup without onions? Of course, my meddling didn't stop there; I had to switch up a...
