My Super Low Cal Heart Vegetable Soup!

  • 6 carrots
    1 large onion
    6 stalks celery
    4 cloves garlic
    1 bunch Kale
    2 Bell Peppers
    2 Leeks
    2 large zucchini
    1 bag spinach leaves

    1 packet Knorr Chicken Noodle Soup (http://www.knorr.ca/en/products/Prod...NCSUQ9Y3MwMDY=)
    **Moderator note - the soup mix is not Beachy. Broth is a better choice for those following SBD**

    Or you could do a can of chicken broth, or not use it at all, sometimes I don't. (leaving out the knorr packet will save you 240 calories for the entire recipe, 20 cals per serving)

    Water
    Salt and pepper


    1. Coat 12-quart stockpot (or 2 large saucepans) with nonstick cooking spray. Over medium-high heat, add carrots, onions, celery, and garlic; cook 8 minutes or until vegetables soften, stirring occasionally.

    2. Add Kale, Bell Peppers, Leeks, broth, and water (as much as you like, I pretty much fill my large stock pot), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (and any other seasoning you like); heat to boiling over high heat, stirring occasionally.

    3. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    4. Increase heat to high; stir in zucchini and spinach and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until all vegetables are tender.

    There are about 80 calories per large bowl of soup. (Total Recipe = 980 and I put enough water to make enough for 12 servings = 80 cals each)

    Yummmmy and so good for you! Enjoy!
  • The soup mix is not South Beach friendly at all, and definitely not Phase 1.
    Ingredients:
    Wheat noodles, corn syrup solids, monosodium glutamate, salt, flavour & artificial flavour, chicken fat, hydrolyzed corn protein, freeze dried chicken meat, onion powder, yeast extract, dried parsley, spices & spice extract, natural colour, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate, hydrolyzed yeast/egg proteins, modified milk ingredients.

    It look s like a great recipe using broth instead.
