    RE: Healthy Living Group Soup Recipes!

    Here is a great one that I just tried for supper today! DH loves it and so do I. It is a wonderful vegetarian meal. The soup is not complete without cornbread! :) I got the recipe from a really old Pillsbury soup cookbook that I have.

    Lentil Soup

    A protein rich soup seasoned with a variety of vegetables. Served with bread and a salad, it becomes a hearty meal. Yum!

    16 oz. pkg.(about 2 1.2 cups) dry lentils
    8 cups water
    3/4 cup sliced celery
    1/3 cup sliced carrots
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley(I used 2 Tbs. dry parsley)
    2 tsp. salt ( I used 1 3/4 tsp)
    3/4 tsp. oregano leaves
    1/2 tsp. pepper
    1 medium onion diced
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1 (14 1/2 oz.) can tomatoes, undrained, cut up (I used diced tomatoes w/ garlic, oregano, and basil)
    3 Tbs. Red Wine Vinegar

    Wash and sort lentils. In 5 qt. Dutch oven, combine lentils, water, celery, carrots, parsley, salt, oregano, pepper, onion and garlic. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Stir in tomatoes and vinegar. Simmer covered an additonal 30 minutes or unt8il soup reaches desired thickness. Makes 6 (1 1/2 cup servings) servings.

    Enjoy,

    I know I got this off the board but I don't know who from...I think next time I might stir in a package of spanish rice mix and maybe some peppers.I might also cut back on the cheese and reduce some of the chicken stock and add another can of sauce in it's place. But overall it was YUMMY!!!

    Chicken Enchilada Soup

    1lb chicken
    1/2 c diced onion
    1 clove garlic, diced
    4 c chicken stock
    1 c flour
    2 c water
    16oz velveeta
    1 can enchilada sauce
    1tsp chili powder
    1/2tsp cumin

    In a large soup pot brown the chicken 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside. In the same pot saute the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock. In a bowl whisk together the water and flour until blended. Add to pot. Add remaining ingredients. Shred chicken and add to soup. Simmer and stir 30-45 minutes until thick.

    Serve with sour cream, salsa, corn chips.

    **Jen's add-ins**
    I added red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper. In the last 10 minutes I stirred in a cup of minute rice. At the very end I stirred in a 1/2 c of sour cream.

    Beef Stew

    1lb stew meat
    4 potatoes, peeled and chopped
    1 can green beans, drained
    1 can corn, drained
    1/2-3/4 bag baby carrots
    1 envelope brown gravy mix
    1 envelope zesty italian dressing mix
    1 envelope ranch dressing mix
    1 can tomato sauce
    1 can beef broth
    crushed red pepper flakes
    dried basil

    Combine all ingredients in the crockpot and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Or simmer on low all day.

    In the last hour I added in a couple tablespoons of butter and flour to thicken the sauce.

    This was soooo good and very filling. We took a slice of bread and butter and put it in the bottom of the bowl with a heaping pile of stew on top. One bowl and I was stuffed!! DBF said he didn't usuallly like beef stew but thought this was amazing!

    Italian Potato Soup
    Leana(aka basketcase61)

    Brown 1 lb hot italian pork sausage; add

    1 LG (48oz?) can of chicken broth
    1 c. carrots
    4-6 stalks celery
    2 c. potato chunks
    1 (pint ?) package button mushrooms
    add Tony Chacheries seasoning to taste (2 t?)
    1 stick butter

    Ssimmer well until vegies are tender.
    Just remember - I rarely measure things so these are probably not exact but should be fairly close. The main thing to remember is LOTS of celery! The celery gives it a unique flavor! DH likes to leave his mushrooms whole but I like to at least 1/2 mine.
    Enjoy! Hugs Leana

    CROCKPOT CHICKEN MEXICAN SOUP

    3 chicken breasts, cooked and cut in pieces

    1 can (15 oz.) whole kernel corn, drained
    1 can of northern (white) beans
    1/2 tsp. cumin

    Combine all ingredients in crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3 hours. Serve in bowls topped with tortilla chips and sprinkle of shredded cheese if desired.

    Also.....if you don't want it so spicy, only use 1 can of the Mexican Ro-tel.

    RE: Healthy Living Group Soup Recipes!

    I have posted this soup in the past. It is so delicious and I assume it would be a zero point soup due to the ingredients.

    Tomato Basil Soup
    Grate 1 carrot
    Grate 1 potato
    Dice fine 1 rib of celery
    Dice fine 1 small onion
    Chop up 1 quart of canned tomatoes
    (I use tomatoes that I have canned)
    1 15oz can of vegetable broth
    Basil to taste

    While heating broth and chopped tomatoes grate and chop the rest of the veggies adding as you go. Add basil to taste. Simmer until the desired tenderness. I double this recipe just for the two of us. We love it. Very healthy and I always get asked for the recipe.

    (1/4th recipe: 32 calories/ 0g fat/ 515mg sodium/ 5.5g carbs/ 1.5g fiber/ 3g sugars/ 2.5g protein = 0 Points!)

    This beauteous bowl of soup is almost as much fun to make and look at as it is to slurp!

    1 small carrot

    1 small zucchini

    1/2 medium-sized red pepper

Cook for approximately 5 minutes, until veggies are limp. If desired, serve with lemon wedges for a citrus-y touch. Makes four 1-cup servings.
