Recipe of the Week: Soup-On-The-Go

Soup On The Go

This simple, but delicious, soup base is super fast to make, and is easily tailored to your own taste.

For each serving use:

– 1 1/2 cups low-fat chicken broth (vegetable broth for vegetarians)

– 1 cup lite coconut milk (canned)

Stir together in saucepan. Add leftover pre-cooked veggies and protein (i.e poultry, seafood, beef or tofu.) Heat to serving temperature and add seasonings.

Experiment with various spices, proteins and vegetables for variety.

The broth and coconut milk base is commonly used in Thai cooking and is especially complementary with Thai flavors such as fresh basil or cilantro sprinkled on top after heating soup.

Go Figure Diet, Go Figure program, Healthy Eating Plan, Recipe of the week

At 368 pounds and borderline diabetic, my doctor suggested bypass or lap band surgery. I was 65, had at least 100 pounds to lose and arthritic knees. I lost about 30lbs. in 6 months on my own, but it was very up and down. Then I followed Go Figure’s plan and lost over 100lbs! I’ve gone from pant size 52 to 38, and size 4XL to L. I can now mow the yard and do many things I could never do at my previous weight. I am now on maintenance to keep the weight from ever coming back. *Actual client.
