It caught my eye because I try to read all of the threads and that one was still highlighted in Dark Blue so I knew something was up. Funny how we all have our systems of reading things or keeping track of everything.

I emailed Suzanne to ask her why we're being moved...It concerns me that people looking for the forum would never think to look in the mail delivery area because the majority of us do go to coaches and only a small percentage get food from idealtogo.com

Received reply from Suzanne - apparently it's for "packaged" meal systems, not just mail delivery meal systems, which is what IP also is

Yes it is funny cause I only look up there when I need to find a recipe I hit ideal protein and go right to the threads. Thanks.

Yep! The forum you're moving into is the same one that has threads for Jenny Craig (along with Medifast, Nutrisystem, etc)

Default Soup Recipes

Heading over to check out the recipe thread to figure out what to do with all these soups!!
Interesting to me to hear so many people dont like the soups. I rarely if ever eat them as instructed though.

Click for Pix and Recipes.

I almost always add more water, then add up to 2 cups of roasted cauliflower or a mix of Cauli + Broccoli or just Broccoli and buzz it in the blender til smooth. If I am adding Spinach, then I dont add as much extra water (or do a spinach + cauliflower blend). This makes the soup much thicker (almost like pea soup) and creamy.

I have also added grilled mushrooms (with rosemary or thyme) to the mushroom soup (with a healthy mushroom to soup ratio so its more like a sauce)

I also add a bunch of "heat" to the soups. I usually dust the cauliflower with hot chili powder (I get mine from Indian spice store) and drop Mild Tabasco (green) on the broccoli. Then I add some Mrs. Dash (Herbamare in finland), a pinch of flaked sea salt, and a bunch of black pepper or rose pepper.

At least for me, I make the soup in the evening, then bring it to work the next day to microwave. Because the extra water and the extra vegetables give you 3x the portion, I find it filling and super easy to take with me to heat up. (Trying to bring 2 cups veggies plus salad something IP to satisfy for the work day was hard. Combining the soup with the veggies killed 2 birds with one stone) I always blend the veggies if taking to work. If eating at home, I'll mix up blending with not blending and adding veggies directly to the soup.

Here are my fave mixes:

Chicken (BLENDER: Roasted Cauliflower + Broccoli with extra hot spices / or NOT BLENDED: Lots of Roasted Broccoli with a little less water in soup for sauce)
Leek (BLENDER: Spinach / Spinach + Cauliflower / Broccoli... all good)
Mushroom (NOT BLENDED: Grilled Mushrooms (using less water in soup for sauce)

There was another thread about using the soups to coat the veggies before griling to make a flavourful mashed cauliflower or just a zing to the taste of normal veggies. Or you can try using the mushroom soup to make a Green Bean Casserole

But I think the secret is adding more veggies or spices (especially hot spices ) to the soups to make them sing.

What an awesome idea!! I've always had trouble with pudding since they get so thick so fast I can never get all the clumps out with my shaker. I need to get one of these!
