Weezle, I had the ingreds for this in my pantry, and the other night it saved me when I was starving and my dinner plan fell through. It's really yummy. Light but satisfying. I also thought it would be good with roasted veggies stirred in, or some chicken, or a can of pinto beans to make it heartier for wintertime...

This is going in the grocery list!! sounds yummy and filling

Made this and it was wonderful!!! Even my mom loved it! I will double it next time so I can have leftovers for ME!
Thanks for a simple, yummy recipe.

Well, I see all these wonderful recipes for Phase 1 and the carb content can be high. Trying to maintain 20 per day and a lot of the recipes do not note the carb count per serving. HELP! :(

Am I looking in the wrong place:?:

taben07, if you are following The South Beach Diet, we don't count carbs. You'll find a lot of information in our FAQ section, along with the current food listings. Also, I strongly urge that you read the book to fully understand the concept behind this way of eating. Good luck to you!

Well Midwest winter is almost here......so I am checking out the soup recipes so I can try and gear up. I love soups, and mom made plenty of soups and stews while I was growing up. So happy to see so many available.

I am definitely psyched to try this recipe. Just told the bf about it, and he is already hungry. He loves Mexican food, and has been craving something like this. I think it will be great, but also pleased that it seems like a very quick and easy recipe, and not a shock to the checkbook......which I really like. Between the bf who is a big eater, and his 4 growing kids with XW, who visit on a regular basis.....feels like I am constantly refilling the cupboards. :dizzy:

I just fixed this, I'm eating it as I type.
Not only is it delicious but it's so EASY! :D
I love it! Thanks so much for sharing it weezle.

sounds sooo yummy!

Sorry to revive this very old post. But how would you do this in a crockpot, if you can?
