Diet Bites Journal - October 29 Weight Loss
" Another beautiful day in Dodge....."
The temperatures are absolutely gorgeous today - in the mid 70's. It appears that the fall temperatures have arrived but they sure took their sweet time in doing such. Then again, who is who to rush Mother Nature?
The situation reminds me of weight loss. Weight gain can occur at a rapid pace. Sometimes it only takes one glance at a delectable cheesecake to add a pound or two. But oh my is it slow in coming off!
As the cooler temperatures sift into your area, I hope that you'll embrace one of the skinniest foods on the planet: good old-fashioned soup. Most contain about 100 to 150 calories per cup, creamed or not. An entire can of most chicken noodle soups contain about 250 calories.
Homemade soup is of course, one of your best options because what goes into the soup pot can be controlled. If you enjoy chicken soup, I hope you'll try the following Taylor Family recipe:
Grandma Taylor's Old-Fashioned Chicken Soup Recipe:
2 cups of chicken (dark, white or mixed)
1 small onion, chopped
2 cans of chicken broth
1 cup of baby carrots
3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup of cooked peas
1 small can of petite tomatoes, drained
3 chicken bullion cubes
salt & pepper
cooking spray
Dig out your deepest pot. Saute onions and chicken in cooking spray. Add about 4 cups of water and the carrots. Cook until carrots are about 1/2 way done, then add bullion cubes. Add potatoes. Cook until potatoes are done, then add the peas and drained tomatoes.
The salt and pepper can be added at the end OR with the chicken as it cooks. I've found that adding it to the chicken adds more flavor - as does using a mix of dark and white meat. But adding it to the end has its own perk as it's easier to give the soup the perfect amount of salt and pepper based on personal preference. Many times, we add salt and pepper at the table because everyone has their own seasoning level.
Also, if you enjoy celery in your chicken soup, feel free to add with the chopped onions. Cooked noodles and cooked barley also make a great addition and can be added with the tomatoes. If you don't like tomatoes, simply omit.
Serve with a wedge of cornbread - and you've got a meal fit for a dieting king!
