Flesh Eating Soup
I've been having this for over 6 months now for lunch 9 times out of ten and think I have just perfected it today!
1kg bag of carrots chopped
1 full celery (stalks and leaves) chopped
2 medium onions (finely chopped)
4 x 400G tins of chopped tomatoes
1 x 700g Bottle of Tomato Passatta (Cooking tomato sauce, sieved tomato puree...)
2 cups of chicken stock
1 cup of white wine
Mixed Herbs to Taste
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Tablespoon Oil to cook the onions.
Top with water
--
Cook onions and garlic in the oil.
Put in everything else
Bring to boil for 20 minutes
Simmer for 3-4 hours.
--
Serve with a diced spring onion stirred in.
--
Eat for lunch or dinner, lose weight.
I call it my flesh eating soup, and with the latest refinements of the white wine and spring onion it is fantastic! And I should know I've eaten enough of it!
For a treat add in any left-over meat or some ham or pork. Luxury!!!
Don't forget about adding the chopped spring onion when you serve.
Bon Appétit!

I can't call having some meat in a soup a treat!
Do you have anything else with it? That is no way going to fill me up for long!
Any idea on calories? Sounds a bit cabbage soup diet to me....0 -
Hi,
With regard to the calories, well, I've been using the entry for "Kickstart Diet Soup" because I think it was based on this, but the basic idea has been floating around the house for years so I'm not entirely sure.
This version is 150 calories for 2 cups, and that sounds about right - it is an insanely low calorie meal, the idea is to each as much of it as you can.
It is regarded as a 'filler' meal but I have tweaked the recipe enough that it is actually delicious (maybe I have just been eating it for too long :-)))
Basically you have this for lunch and you save a bunch of calories for snacks and dinner, and if your serious about even trying to eat somewhere near 1200 this meal goes a long way to achieving that.
Currently using a cask wine, Banrock Station, Chardonay. I've tried using red-wine but I found that too overpowering.
Cheers,

Although I will say that after cutting up a kilo of carrots and a whole celery you will know all about it :-)

Why are you eating 1200 a day? The lower end for men is 1600, and even then, that is low for most. There are plenty of short girls on here eating around 2000 a day.
Take a look at this - you may rethink your goals-http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-120 -
I will have a look at the thread, thanks.
For me 1200 is a goal, not a rule... some days I will eat 1200 but a lot of the time I am over 1200.
Either way this soup has helped me lose 30 kg and it has been easy time.

Was hoping this was going to be a zombie post. Disappointed.0

What's the sodium on that, with canned tomatoes and such?
I'd have to leave them out, anyway, due to food sensitivities in the family.0 -

Really wish you'd called this thread something else. Soup sounds amazing, thank you 0

Always enjoy trying new soups. This would be a great side for my lunches!0
-
Lol at the name. Sounds pretty nice though thanks0

This would work as a quick lunch at my job ...... or an appetizer before dinner ........ I make ratatouille a lot (basically eggplant, zucchini, onion, tomato sauce) ...... this would be a nice change.
Thanks for sharing :drinker:0 -

Ratatouille is the best! I feel so guilty even having meat with it at times its so nice! Although you can get away with having a 100-200g steak with rat' and feel totally contented!
For my ratatouille I also add in mushrooms and white wine...

A batch seems to last me about 2 weeks, but one of the point of this soup is to have as much as you like. Maybe it lasts me about 12 lunches?
The basic recipe was a little astringent with the celery but the wine and onions really smooth the flavour and the smell.
Alternatively maybe I'm just used to it now :-)
