There are so many benefits to a protein-rich diet so I include tons of it in my family meal planning. Protein fuels our energy, builds our muscles, and keeps us strong and healthy.These are only a few of the reasons why protein-packed meals are a must in my house. I love making Lasagna Soup because each serving has lots of protein and tastes so yummy. It’s also a perfect soup for a chilly evening!
