*Another recipe brought to you by Go Figure Chef, David

This light and flavorful soup is very lean and great for weight loss, yet filling with the broth.  And cooks up pretty quickly.  With the cold weather still upon us, it’s nice to go home to a hot bowl of soup at the end of the day!

1 lb. mahi, cut into small pieces                     ½ cup red wine

2 Tbsp. butter                                                     4 cloves garlic

2 Tbsp. olive oil                                                    1 tsp. salt

½ onion, chopped                                               1 tsp. garlic salt

1 cup celery, chopped                                         ½ tsp. pepper

1 medium zucchini, chopped                             ½ tsp. each: thyme and oregano

1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes                                3 cups water

4 oz. tomato paste (about ½ 8 oz. can)

¼ cup tamari (natural soy sauce)

½ dropper liquid stevia ( or 2 tsp. agave; reduces acidity of tomatoes)

Saute mahi in butter, don’t overcook.  Sprinkle with garlic salt.  In a soup pot, saute onions and celery in olive oil.  When soft, add zucchini and garlic and continue to sauté for a few more minutes.

Add remaining ingredients to veggies and bring to a low boil.  Turn heat down to simmer, add fish, and simmer for 15 minutes.  Adjust seasoning to taste.

(Optional: for added nutrients, add chopped spinach or kale while simmering)

Recipe of the Week: Simple Soup

Simple Soup

2 T. olive oil

1 lb. ground beef or bison (bison has more protein and less fat/oz.)

¼ cup chopped onion

1 small can stewed tomatoes

32 oz. low-fat beef broth

Fresh or frozen green beans

½ cup chopped celery

1 t. oregano

½ t. salt

¼ t. pepper

In soup kettle, heat oil and brown beef or bison.  Add veggies, broth and seasonings.  Bring to boil and then reduce to simmer.  Cover and cook for several minutes until veggies are just cooked.

Chicken or turkey breast cut into small pieces and low-fat chicken broth can be used instead of beef.  Or try ground chicken or turkey.  Other options: sweet Italian turkey sausage, hot turkey sausage.  For vegetarians: tofu and vegetable broth.

3 Days of Protein: Leave out veggies.
