basically, use lighter colored veggies...
like
summer squash
onions (i prefer vidalia onions...but green are on protocol)
yellow or red tomato
radish
red and orange bell peppers
white or orange colored cauliflower

simmer in water or chicken stock then puree in blender

you can add more tomatoes, and some basil for tomato bisque!
you can add orange spice!!
today i had this!!

sometimes i put to on a plate to cool faster!!
because i use a magic bullet and can't add while blending
like a regular blender with a hole in the top
to let out the steam!

i took my basic golden goddess soup, added some ginger paste from the tube and some orange peel zest and 4 drops of liquid stevia...
OH MY WORD....THIS IS HEAVEN IN A BOWL!!!

i love this soup base!! you can just go in so many different directions!

sweet, savory, spicy...like my spicy taco soup!!!

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rainbow: those garlic breadsticks are SO.GOOD. I had them twice today.
I need to experiment with egg whites instead of whole egg
I got extra exercise today (PT appt and a walk) so I'm not worried but in the long run...

I had everything at the house except whole eggs. Let me know how you do with the egg whites. I would prefer to use those as well.

Tried the Cauli-Tots.
 

Rainbow,
I tried your cauli-tots the other night and boy what flavor; however I could not get the suckers to crips up on the outside at all. They were so wet and mushy. Any tips on how to crisp them up? Thank you. I love all your recipes. :D

if they did not crisp up, you probably had too much liquid in the cauliflower. try squeezing out the excess liquid before you puree the cauliflower. or when you chill, and this also helps....drain overnight in cheesecloth or a sieve over a bowl so excess liquid can come out.

hope that helps :)

mine are not as crunchy as regular potato tator-tots but they did get a little crispy on the edges

Thanks rainbow! I will try that next time. You are such an inspiration to me. I do not know how many people I have told about this wonderful lady who makes these incredible recipes to save us all from diet boredom or cheating. :) Wishing you a great day. :hug:

ALTERNATIVE RECIPE: Using Proti Diet Chocolate Cake
 

Rainbow,
Did you make a single serving of the potato puree breadsticks?

I'm making them for lunch tomorrow and wanted to know what size Pyrex dish you used.

Thanks :D

yes single serve....5x7x1.5 volume 3 cups
hope that helps

I'm making double-batches in a 9x9, just so I don't have to cook so often.

Thank you!

Good idea. I only bought 1 packet of the puree though because I wasn't crazy about it when I tried it the first time.

If I like the breadsticks I'll definitely make multiple servings next time!
