I need to lose weight!
I also need to consume more liquids that (alas) are NOT WINE!
So this Summer, inspired by the soups I get at Chinese restaurants, I set out to make my OWN healthy soups — using a slow-cooker.
I am on my fourth batch & they have been a HUGE success — though, by design, I am the only one who eats them.
NO CARBS. Lots of vegetables — many high in fiber (e.g., leeks & cabbage).
I put a little bit of chicken in the prior batches (because I invariably have cooked chicken in the fridge) BUT not in this one.
The only meat in it is hot Italian sausage.
The rest is: caggage, water sprouts, diced mushrooms, leeks, squash, onions & Jalapeno peppers. It is spiced with 3 packets of Chinese soup flavoring, low-sodium Soy Sauce & an assortment of sauces, willy nilly from the fridge.
It should be good.
One batch lasts me a week. I then throw a bit away.
I really should do this on a commercial basis.
