Cooler Days = Soup Days

With the temperatures getting colder the last couple weeks I've been having a jonesing for some soup.  I cam across with this recipe in a magazine at my local grocery store.  And seeing how I'm too cheap to buy the magazine just for a soup recipe, I quickly pulled on my smartphone and snapped a picture of the recipe, grabbed a few ingredients I didn't have and headed home to make it.  It's really good and very filling.
sorry about the soup all over the bowl...note to self;  put into a different for picture next time.

In the magazine they had in labeled as a Fat Flush Soup,  I hoping that's a good thing that maybe it will help me get back on track with losing some more weight, but that's a topic for other day.  The serving size is very generous I think...it's 2 full cups.  Only once have I been able to eat that much at one sitting.  I usually have a cup and that fills me up.

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

 1 medium onion(s)   
2 clove(s) garlic clove(s) (medium)   
 1 item(s) bell pepper(s) (medium)   
1/4 cup(s) parsley   
4 tsp olive oil   
 16 oz mushroom(s)   
64 oz Campbell's Low-Sodium Tomato Juice   
 2 1/2 pound(s) Jennie-O Turkey Store Extra lean ground breast   
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice   
2 Tbsp ground cumin   
 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes   
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes   
7 serving(s) Bush's great northern beans, drained and rinsed   

Instructions

1.  In a stockpot, heat 2tsp of olive oil over medium-high setting.  Saute meat until cooked through.  Drain and set aside.  
2.  Saute onion, garlic, peppers, and mushrooms in other 2 tsp of olive oil until soft.
3.  Stir in remaining ingredients, except the parsley.  
4.  Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.  
5.  Stir in parsley.  Cover; simmer 10 minutes longer.  
  

Store soup in refrigerator up to 5 days.  Freezes well


1 serving equals 2 cups
1 serving equals 4 pointsplus

Potato Soup

I'm not sure why, but the past couple weeks, I had made a couple different soups; Taco Soup, Chicken Rice & Potato.  That's say a lot because I haven't ever made soup (with the exception of White Chicken Chili) in the 10 years Mike and I have been married.  



Potato Soup
what you need
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 3 cans chicken broth
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 30 oz shredded hash browns (frozen)
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 brick cream cheese
make it
Mix first five ingredients in crock pot and cook for five hours on high. Add block of cream cheese cook for another half hour. Garnish with green onions and bacon bits (optional).

It even got my boys approval and that makes me happy...even if their bowl had more crackers that soup.
It was delish
