Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi Mike: Thank you for that article. Very interesting. A few months ago I decided it might be a good idea to incorporate a number of food items into my diet, one of them turmeric, on a regular, once-a-week, basis. To do so I start with a can of condensed tomato soup, and one can of water or stock. I then add half a large can of diced tomatoes; half a cup of canned (i.e. already cooked) green lentils; one half tsp each of cinnamon and turmeric (which I have read averages about 5% curcumin); one tbsp each of oat bran, wheat bran, wheat germ, ground oregano and soy protein; and one-eighth of a tsp of ground cloves (for the supposedly huge ORAC capacity). I add more water/stock/wine to get the desired consistency, stir thoroughly, bring to a simmer, and serve garnished with a little chopped green onion. The recipe is still evolving, on the principle of adding to soups everything I suspect to be healthy, whether the conventional wisdom believes they belong there or not. But some substances belong better in some kinds of soups than in others. Tomato soup seems to be a good 'cover' for the above-listed ingredients, turmeric among them. If anyone has additional 'ON' ingredients that might 'fit' well into this soup, please advise!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 I do much the same thing, only spread over several dishes. I try to consume a lot of the seemingly best stuff (at the moment at least) every day. Receipe looks interesting, and you are right about tomato's ability to mask almost anything. What about garlic, and ginger, both of which are demonstratably good in soup? I also usually spice mine up with cayenne or its equivalent.
