I need to lose weight!

I also need to consume more liquids that (alas) are NOT WINE!

I need to lower my A1C (it is creeping up).

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.

This was my fifth 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.

I took pictures today so you can see what I use. Red cabbage, water sprouts, mushrooms, leeks, squash, onions & peppers (some Jalapeno). It is spiced with 3 packets of Chinese soup flavoring. This time I did NOT add any soy sauce or flavoring. I will do that when I heat up a batch to eat. The only meat in it is hot Italian sausage.

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.
