Healthy, because
Millet scores with minerals such as magnesium and iron. We need this for healthy blood formation and well functioning nerves. This vegetable soup also contains chicken breast, which provides us with protein for strong muscles.
Even smarter
Use the vegetable soup to use up vegetable waste. Do you still have a pepper, zucchini or similar in the fridge? Cut them into bite-sized pieces and cook them for 5-10 minutes, depending on the vegetables.
