I like the idea of meatless Mondays for several reasons. Many of us grew up eating too much meat. Several studies suggest eating less meat can reduce your risks of preventable illnesses like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
Meatless Mondays also help reduce your carbon footprint. It takes a lot more water and fossil fuel to raise livestock than to grow vegetables and grains. So going meatless one day a week is good for your health and the environment. With so much hunger in the world, it's a painless and delicious way to make a tiny difference.

Let's say a few words about adding meat to the recipe. Life is a balance. Most of us are open to meatless meals without giving up eating meat completely. It's fine to live life in moderation, cut down without cutting out. On days other than meatless Mondays, you can keep work simple by dicing up 4 - 5 slices of smoked deli ham and topping off the soup. I don't cook diced deli ham in the soup because the flavor would be lost. Just lay the ham on top of the finished soup.
