Rachael Ray: Misty Copeland
Ballerina Misty Copeland, one of the members of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, shared a delicious and healthy meal idea for Black Bean Soup and Shrimp with Rachael Ray.
Misty and Rachael talked about getting kids involved in the kitchen. It can be a great way to encourage healthy cooking and eating habits. Kids will want to eat food that they had a part in making.
Mashed beans help to thicken the soup naturally, but you should leave half of them intact for texture. I love a great hearty soup, so this seems like a winning idea to me.
