Sounds lovely, could you copy and paste the ingredients in please?
Yes!
* 8 Hot Itailian Sausage Links crumbled
* 3 32 oz chicken broth (reduced sodium or not your choice)
* 8 oz of water (this is also optional, I normally water down the chicken broth a little to make more)
* 6 potatoes cut into small cubes
* 1 large onion diced
* 2 cloves garlic
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 1 large kale bunch roughly chopped
* 4 strips bacon (this is optional you can also use bacon bits, or turkey bacon)
Directions:
Crumble and cook sausage in large soup pot. Once cooked add onion, and garlic, cook on medium until onion is soft, add the potatoes. Add the water and chicken broth and boil on high until potatoes are cooked through. Once potatoes are done, remove from heat, add heavy cream and your kale! If you chose to add bacon, cook it separately and add it with the kale at the end. I will also sometimes add some cheese to the top or serve with bread depending on my calorie allowance.
This recipe makes about 20 servings (a pretty big bowl) obviously feel free to scale it down if you only want to make a small amount.
This sounds insanely good, I think this is going to be the next recipe I try! ❤️ Thanks for sharing!
Let me know if you try it!! its on my list for next week!0 -

As I made it:
I love black bean soup, and this sounds like a great easy recipe, but.... did I read that right, 6g of chicken? That's like the size of chocolate chip? Was that a stand in for bouillon?1 -
Grilled steak and veg always does it for me.0

ratatoullie:
zucchini
tomatoes
eggplant
onion
garlic
smoked sausage (go with turkey for lowest calories)
ground black pepper
dice and salt eggplant, set aside to let the salt do it's magic.
add 1t olive oil to pot, add minced garlic and let cook until fragrant. keep an eye on it as garlic burns easily. Add onions, zucchini, and tomatoes. mix.
Rinse off eggplant and toss in the pot. Stir it all together.
Dice the sausage and add to the pot. Add pepper to taste. I don't recommend salting at this stage, as the sausage is fairly high in sodium and there will be salt left on the eggplant.
Cover and let it simmer/cook for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to help distribute/encourage the tomato to give up the juice.
When done, taste and add salt if needed.
Serve and enjoy. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if you're feeling fancy.
Using turkey sausage, it usually works out to be around 13 calories per ounce (weight). So a big bowl is usually less than 300 calories.1 -
Sweet potato hash:
diced sweet potato
diced onion
diced apple
chicken sausage
Sautee the veggies in bacon fat (or butter, but why?) until the onion starts to soften. Add in the sausage, brown it up, then reduce heat and cover, so the sweet potato can soften.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, then drizzle a bit of maple syrup over the whole thing and toss. Serve hot. You can even sprinkle a little parmesan on the top to really make the flavors pop.

I don't really have a favorite, but there is a nice low-cal salad I've been eating recently and I don't typically even like salad.
2-3 c. mixed greens
1 oz. goat cheese crumbles
1/2 oz. Trader Joe's spicy candied pecans
60-70g fresh blackberries (sub in any equivalent fresh fruit)
either 1 serving of sardines or pulled chicken (100-150 cal's worth)
1 Tbs white balsamic vinegar (I use honey-ginger or peach-ginger)
Comes out to ~350 cals. I sometimes add 1/2 serving of dried cherries for added chew, and that tacks on another 50 cals.1 -
Shrimp n grits with kale n tomatoes
Sautee shrimp, garlic and diced onion in a little olive oil and Old Bay seasoning until done. Make grits (I don't use oil, milk, or butter, just water). Sautee kale and cherry tomatoes until soft. Season as desired. Serve shrimp on grits with veggies on the side.1 -

I just ping the sweet potato slices in a bowl of water in the microwave for 3 minutes. Then I layer mine in a casserole dish and pour in a little stock instead of the maple syrup.
Potato, then onion then sausages then potato again. Sprinkle cheese on the top.
Now I want to go buy sweet potato

I make sweet potato hash with shredded sweet potatoes. You can shred by hand or with a food processor.They cook right up without any boiling. I usually add peppers, onions mushrooms, spinach and zucchini and top with an egg.0 -
