This is how I listed it in my fitday.
I love love love hamburger soup but do not want the fat from ground beef, actually I don't really want the beef either so ...

3 28 oz cans of tomatoes (I used some with spices in)
1 head of cabbage chopped up into bite sized pieces
1 cup of textured vegetable protein

I simmered the tomatoes and cabbage until the cabbage was softening then tossed in the vegetable protein. It soaks up fluid and takes on the flavour of the rest. I let it sit for an hour or so just on very low. When it cooled I put it in a container in the fridge. I can have a scoop when ever I want.

1 1/2 cups is 109 cals 1 gm fat, 22gms of carbs and 8 gms of protein.

It's delicious with ff cottage cheese or low fat soy cheese on it too.

Sounds good Susan! I didn't know what TVP was, so I googled it, and now I know. Interesting. I wonder if my kids would taste the difference!
