I also love cooking here is a healthy and hearty soup that is very low in carbo's and can be eaten as a meal or snack and bulked up with protein. It has been very popular here in Oz (Australia) being dubbed the Kick Start Diet. By making up a huge pot it should last you a week in the fridge or you could freeze some of it. Anyway here it is: 1 cabbage 1/2 (half) bunch of celery 6 carots 2 green peppers 4 onions 2 large tins of crushed/diced tomato 1 pkt of french onion soup mix 1 lt or pint of chicken stock 1 lt or pint of water garlic if you want chilli if you want salt and pepper Put it all in a large stock pot bring to the boil...and reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 1 hour. When cooled enough you can put it through a blender to make it smooth...or if you have cut all the ingredients up finely you can have it chunky.... What I do is have it as it is....some times I fry chicken breast or thigh (skinless) and cut it up and put it in the soup....some time a steak cut into strips....I add different herbs such as corianda, basal, mint to give it a lift in taste....you could even add fish cut up into small bits.....I have lost almost 14lbs on this...while exercisingand eating other healthy foods.... All I can suggest is you stay away from Carbos....and also do cardio exercise....it works for me. Cheers Brendan
