Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 That is the way to go, slow.. :-) Try whole Wheat Pita instead of bread. The have a higher fiber and they are thinner. I like them a lot better then bread these days. Dawnn > The remainder of the day will be phase-1 typical and I'll likely run most of > tomorrow as phase 1 as well.

In spite of it all, I'm still a big eater so a half sandwich definitely will not cut it for me. I think I need to go even more slowly into phase 2 than I planned -- I'm definitely getting queasy off the additional carbs. I decided to try using a little cornstarch tonight in a new sloppy joe mix to thicken it up; sure enough, nausea settled in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Not sure why you'd use cornstarch. Seems like that would be loaded with bad carbs.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 My previous post was a bit misleading. I have a half sandwich and an apple. Sometimes I also have yogurt.

It's commonly used as a thickening agent. It's generally frowned upon but I was testing something so I took a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gearing up to make a bunch of soups to freeze and keep for quick meals so this is definitely on the plate to do. I'd like to get in the habit of eating a bowl of soup before starting dinner as well -- helps signal to the brain that something's going on in the belly! > By the way, try Xanthan gum for thickening.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 You really need to make your own. It's really easy to make home made veggie soup. Just take a couple cans of broth (beef or chicken, whatever you like), or make broth with water and soup base. Add a can or 2 of tomatoes, a bag of mixed veggies, and whatever else you like. Throw it in the crock pot, add your favorite seasonings, and let it cook for 6 hours or so. Easy soup. Here's my favorite tomato soup recipe, it takes a little more time though... * Exported from MasterCook * Cream of Tomato Soup Recipe By : UnknownServing Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00Categories : Soups Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method-------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 Tablespoon I Can't believe it's not butter (for flavor - you can use all olive oil) 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 1 Medium Onion -- Finely chopped 3 Pounds Ripe Tomato -- Peeled-3 14 oz cans 3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar, packed -- (I use Wheylow) You could use regular Splenda 1 Tablespoon Fresh Basil -- Minced 1 Each Bay Leaf 1 Teaspoon Salt 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper 2 Whole Cloves 1 Cup Skim Milk 1/2 Cup Half and half -- (use Fat Free) 1) Heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute until very tender2) Add tomatoes, brown sugar, basil, bay leaf, salt, pepper and cloves and stir well.3) Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until tomatoes are cooked through, about 30 minutes.4) Remove bay leaf and cloves and discard5) Puree soup in batches in a blender6) Return pureed soup to the pot, stir in skim milk and half and half.7) Heat the soup through over low heat, being careful not to let it boil.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I make my own lentil soup a lot. In a bit of olive oil, sauté some onions, mushrooms and carrots (I think carrots are ok now? Or leave them out if you want). Then add two cups of chicken stock (can use vegetable if you wish) and three handfuls of lentils (yes, real exact measurements, LOL!). A shake of pepper, a shake of basil, a pinch of sage, then cover tightly and simmer for 45 minutes. VERY yummy. Makes about two servings. -----Original Message----- From: Dpauls Regarding the Soup – What kind of soup can we have??? Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
