JOIN ME ON MY PLATEA BUSTER FOR THE NEXT TEN DAYS!
Gail...welcome...have you lost anything yet? Please keep us updated on your progress...what you are eating, etc...water...
...I sure hope it works...
Here's the recipe. She said she uses it to jump-start her weight loss.
? 1 can Lima beans
? 1 can Pinto beans
? 1 can Kidney beans
? 1 can White navy beans
? 1 can Butterbeans
? 1 can diced tomatoes (choose your flavor)
? 2 cans spicy V8 juice
? 1 entire LARGE cabbage - chopped/shredded into bite size pieces.
? 2 LARGE potatoes, skinned, chopped.
? 1 LARGE onion
? 2 small cans of mushrooms (or 1 large tray of fresh)
? 1 can green chili's diced (mild, med, hot, your choice)
? 1 lb lean ground turkey meat
? 2 PRECOOKED chicken breasts or thighs, diced --or-- any other type of MEAT leftovers you have on hand. Sausage? Pork? etc.
? 2 table spoons of minced garlic, or 8 fresh cloves
? 2 table spoons low carb ketchup
? Various seasonings, salt, pepper, garlic, MzDash, Onion Salt, etc.
Grab a LARGE pot (big and deep enough to hold ALL the above indredients) and use it to brown turkey meat, garlic (if it's minced) and chopped onions with dry seasonings of your choice. Drain what little grease there might be.
In the same pot, add the diced potatoes, garlic cloves (if it's fresh) and cabbage, about 3 cups of water, and the V8 Juice. Boil for about 20 minutes, giving the potatoes a chance to cook.
Then add ALL remaining ingredients, just dump them in. If you used fresh beans, add them "cooked" to the pot. If you're using canned beans, just open the cans and DRAIN the juice first. Add the entire can (with juice) of chilis, tomatoes, etc. You might have to add a little more water, to keep it from cooking out, also don't be afraid to SEASON it. Seasoning is our friend, and since you'll be eating this soup for several days, 2 to 3 times a day, you want to make darn sure you LOVE the way you've seasoned it.
About the 3rd day of eating this, I try to add a new twist to it, to change up the taste again. Maybe a can of corn? Or some black olives? Or a little bit of shredded cheese? Sour cream... etc. The CORE blend of ingredients always seems to jump start my weight loss. This is ALL I eat, 3 or 4 times a day until the pot is empty, normally lasts about 5 to 6 days. I also drink lots of water (100 oz +) during this time.

Sounds pretty good,

Thanks! You beat me to it. I substituted garbanzo beans and black beans for the butter beans and lima beans. I also added lots of Susan Maria's chili seasoning http://store.bariatriceating.com/cosase.html from Bariatric Eating. My chili turned out yummy!
