Elina's famous soup!!..Pics/updated

What's your hubby's name Elina (NZers would call him a bit of a 'hard shot') - I think we should make him an honorary member - actually what about cooking demonstrations on YouTube!!

Have just had soup for lunch ... it's actually really great just trying something different but this soup is VERY tasty!! Yum Yum

His name is Alan and he is a bit amused by the attention the soup has gotten.  :)

Loving this yummy healthy soup!

It sure makes a whole lot of soup.  Next time I'll 1/2 the recipe! 

Does it freeze well?

I froze most of mine...I didn't have a lot of fridge space...So, I didn't want it to go to waste. Chris and Kait turned their noses up to it!! Which was a bonus for me!!!...LOL

Yes, it does freeze really well and it can stay in the refrigerator for a long time.  I am really glad you liked it.  You might want to try the chili sometime as well.  :)

No need to freeze any after all.  My husband has discovered the soup!  He is dieting right now.  He isn't overweight, never has been.  He has a weight window and weighs everyday.  If he goes out of his window, he diets for a week or two until he's in his window.  He's so disciplined.  He liked the soup quite a bit and is going to use it to help get 5 pounds off.

I actually don't like chili.... because of the issues I have with legumes of any kind.  They don't just cause the regular gas and bloating that most people get, they cause excruciating gut pain that doubles me over for hours.  I avoid legumes like the plague. Sorry for the TMI....  But it's so horrible that I do not even consider eating them......ever...

I could make it and leave the beans out and double the meat.  What do you think?

I actually hit just 650 calories today and am totally satisfied.  I have no hunger issues....this is so cool! 

Make the chili without the beans.  My husband likes it better that way anyway.  Just add more meat.  There is a ton of veggies in that recipe too.  If you can handle tomatoes, I say, give it a shot.  It too is great with a dollop of lite sour cream.  I sometimes add a bit of finely diced onions and a pinch of shredded cheese along with a teaspoon of the sour cream.  It is really good.  Your husband would probably really like it too. 

I think I'll like the chili if I make it like you sugested.  I like the idea of putting a little cheese, onion and sour cream on top.  YUM.  As soon as we're done with the green soup, I'll make it.  Thanks to my husband it's half gone!

As I type this my friend who is a doctor is making your soup.  She follows the Paleo Way of eating and loved the sound of of it.  I know she will love it too.
