Un-button for Your Good Health
Me oh my - mushrooms offer a wealth of healthy benefits to the daily diet.
They are so minimal in caloric values that they come very close to being counted as a free food. One small contains a tiny two kcals while its large brother contains only five.
In addition, they are low in sodium and fat content while toting some surprising benefits in other areas - including potassium, Vitamin B-12 and B-6, and they are a very nice source of potassium. One baby button mushroom holds an impressive 32 potassium milligrams.
They can be rather difficult on the digestive system, so take care not to over-indulge.
Quick Mushroom Soup Recipe for Dieters
If you enjoy this variety of soup and you tend to purchase it in a can - you can make an entire pot using one small container of mushrooms. Be sure to slice them into bite sized bits for the soup recipe.
You will also need the following ingredients:
1 medium contains of fat free chicken broth
1 teaspoon of dried dill weed (or you can use fresh)
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice
1/2 to 1 cup of reduced fat sour cream (the full blown offers more body and velvety texture for just a few more calories)
Salt, Pepper to suit personal taste
Boil the shrooms in the chicken broth until they reach a tender state.
Add the dill weed, salt, pepper, lemon juice and soy sauce.
Finally, stir in the sour cream.
This is a delicious soup that can be enjoyed any time of the year. If button mushrooms are unavailable, then any other variety can certainly be substituted. Each variety will provide their own unique flavor in the bowl.
