Nick’s Favorite Soup & A Good Low Carb Soup Recipe

September 9, 2014

Bean Soup – A Good Low Carb Soup Recipe

I have been making this soup for about 15 years. I love it and I think, you might love it too. Two important things about this soup. It is very nutritious and filling. You can eat it as a normal soup for dinner or make it your main course. A measuring cup and a half will stop overeating. It is that filling. As a main course, a nice side salad and you have a complete dinner.

Ingredients:

1 pound of Sprouts 10 bean soup mix. A mixture of Kidney, white, navy, pinto, split pea and various lentils.

1 Quart low salt Vegetable Broth

2 Quarts of water

Any kind of vegetables you like to fill the pot

1 level teaspoon of Curry powder

1 level teaspoon of Tumeric

2 Tablespoons of Italian dry seasoning (Oregano, Marjoram, Thyme, Rosemary and Sage)

Salt and pepper to taste. The less salt, the better.

2 or 3 shakes of your favorite hot sauce (optional)\

Brown Rice (cooked separately)

Important: Wash the beans well.

Put all ingredients except the rice and cook for at least one hour or more. The longer it simmers, the better it gets.

As a soup course. 1 1/2 cups of soup and 1/2 cup of brown rice

As a main course 3 cups of soup and 3/4 cup of rice.

This soup is high in protein and carbohydrates, and no fat. These are good carbs and the combination of beans and brown rice make a complete protein.

Hope you like this soup recipe as much as I do. Share this recipe on Face Book.

Diabetes & The Other White Meat – Pork Loin Roast Recipe

Last week, I read a fine article about some athletes, who came up with another view, about they way they were eating. They participated in marathons and tri-Athlons.

The basic rule in these types of sports is to bulk up on carbs. Especially the few days, before their events. Still, they had weight problems and could not lose extra pounds. They tried different diet plans, to no avail. So they started a basic Diabetes diet, hi protein, very low carbohydrate and higher fat content. When we think of fat content in our diet, we immediately think that the fat we eat, goes right on our bodies. Not true, our bodies need Fat, to work.

I have been trying to live a plant-based diet a.k.a. , vegetarian. It looks like it is not working as I thought. So over the next two or three weeks, I will be changing to a typical Hi-Protein-High Fat and very very low carbohydrate diet. Here is my first meal using a Pork Loin Roast. Pork loin is fairly lean meat, with some fat, Please do not trim all the fat away.

Pork Loin Roast with Steamed Broccoli

Pork Loin Roast (size will depend on how many people will be eating this) Serving size is about 4 ounces per person.

Broccoli flowerets Serving size –1 to 1 and 1/2 cups per person.

Pork loin roast recipe is quick and easy to prepare. They cook quickly, so having a meat thermometer is essential. Roast them, in oven, at 350 degrees. When thermometer reaches 150 degrees it is fine. Leaving it to rest for 5 minutes will raise temperature approx. 5 degrees. Overcooking will result in a dry roast.

Steam Broccoli till tender and keep small stalks, as they contain good roughage. Add a little vinegar and olive oil dressing or a few small pats of butter.

Roast Broccoli Totals

280 50 320 Calories

16.6 0 16.6 Fat

0 12 12 Carbs

30.6 4 34.6 Protein

You can always substitute another vegetable to taste, but try to avoid Carrots or Beets, which have high sugar content. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
