This is a soup I experimented with today and it was very good. I don't know about you but I always end up with frozen veggies of one kind I don't use all of in mixed bags. I had about 1 cup of broccoli and about almost that much of carrots and a little bit of odds and ends. I put all in a pan and barely covered with chicken broth. I did find about 1/2 cup of leftover onion gravy I threw in for good measure. LOL. After veggies were cooked I got out my immersion blender and blended it all together.It was on the thick side so I added 1/2 cup skim milk. It was very good.I had it along with a salad for only 252 calories. And I had a big salad. You will need to adjust broth or milk to get consistency that you like. I didn't want mine thick nor did I want water so I had mine in between. Calorie count will of course depend on how much veggies you have and how much milk and of course be careful with salad dressing in your salad.I used only a little.
If you have some small amounts of frozen veggies try this. And you don't have to add milk either.
If anyone tries this let me know

You're the "Soup Queen"! Since it's so cold here, all I want is soup. I'm eating some leftover split pea soup now and it's hitting the spot. Sometimes I buy frozen veggies for a recipe and for whatever reason I don't make the recipe and then I have a collection of frozen veggies. This sounds like a good way to get rid of them. I can even make a small batch just for me. I will have to experiment.

Sounds really nice. I often wonder why so many of the receipes you have over there use frozen veges. Also when I go to the nutrition counter and enter my food I cannot find boiled potatoes, or new potatoes, or cauliflower, or silverbeet and I wonder if you use different terms or names of the vege. My husband says that a cauli is a caauli no matter where you live. LOL. Ah well, enjoy the soup & salad. Report Inappropriate Comment |

Sounds good. I will have to try this. I love soup. But I go for more water based, since sometimes the other upset my stomach. I have been wanting to try something new. It will be cold this weekend here, so it will be the perfect time.

You're doing good on the nighttime eating. The nighttime munchies hit me when I don't eat enough at lunch and/or skip the afternoon snack - just like the morning munchies attack me if I skip breakfast. I have to be sure and eat enough through the day.
- 2 nights in a row!!! It's not easy but you're doing a great job!! I have a bad night time eating habit too. It wasn't the best last night but that was my fault for exercising so late. I didn't eat too bad, I just ate a few things and ate it late. 
Yea, you lost a pound!! I know you said it could go either way, so great job!!! You also conquered that night eating last night so you proved to yourself it can be done. I was a BAD night snacker last night!!!! That dark chocolate was calling my name. I'll be glad when all the Christmas candy is gone.
I did awful with my night time eating again.I was beating myself up and on a big pity party last night and when I first got up. BUT How could I stay like that after checking my email. I was chosen as one of the White Hawks Of The Day and had well wishes and kind words in my email and on our message board. No more pity party and feel motivated to not let anyone down.Including myself. I have done my sit program and 25 minutes of good old Richard. I have 2 of his sitting tapes and did some on each one.So my exercise is out of the way and I am so grateful for spark and all the wonderful people.
