Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Sure why not, I have a file I use for recipes.

I have to inform you that that day has now arrived. Here is some info: First, it is the result of many years of evolution based on putting in it those things I have believed to be healthy, whether they are generally regarded as 'soup ingredients' or not. I realize many of the ingredients will not be favored by some here - I am still at an earlier stage in my own nutrition knowledge evolution than many members of this board. No doubt in a couple of years I will be doing the same as you are now! Apart from home-made de-fatted chicken stock it is entirely plant-based. Each ingredient has a reason for being there - health always, flavor and texture are also important. It is intended to be highly 'diversified' in its ingredients ...... it intentionally includes grains, buckwheat, lentils, some starch, leafy green vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, cooked tomato products, seaweed, mushrooms and other stuff ...... This is a thick 'meal in itself' type of soup that I never get tired of. Here are some data: Calories percent of total: fat 7%; carbohydrates 73%; protein 20%. That does NOT mean I advocate a diet with 7% fat. What it means is that if I eat some of this soup every day I can go overboard, if I want, on other types of fat and still be consuming a quite low fat diet which still, these days, is my chosen bias. (But I continue listening to the evidence, and modifying my views accordingly!) It makes about six litres of thick soup. It would be more than that if one chose to make it in a more watery consistency. (One litre is about four cups, so six litres is about 24 cups of soup). The ENTIRE SIX LITRES of thick soup contains 2166 calories. So if you chose to eat half a litre (two cups) at a time (two cups of this soup is QUITE filling, although I go for three) two cups amounts to only 180 calories! As to nutrient deficiencies, it is of course almost devoid of vitamin B-12 and quite deficient in vitamin E. Surprising to me it is also a bit deficient in calcium - I need to raise the amount of bok choy I am using. It is positively swarming in vitamins A and C. It contains 12000 mg of potassium - I forget how that compares with the RDA. The ingredients list comes later, but only if someone says they want to see it. Also, I can provide the detailed nutrient content (the totalled numbers for 22 nutrients from each of 29 ingredients) if someone asks for it. Rodney.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Rodney, the soup sounds great. I'd be interested in having the recipe. Thanks. Ruth P.
