Hey everyone! Kama said to tell you she's sorry, but she won't be on today. She has that employee appreciation day fair, so she'll be getting massages, and food and a day in the sun (it's supposed to be 91 today!) I told her to just enjoy it!

Sure!! Let me warn you first to half or quarter it, because it makes 40some cups !! It does freeze well and i know this because I am the only one in my house who will eat it too. Also, the longer you let it cook, the "stewier" it gets. I think the best is to let it stew for at least a day. I like to put it on the woodstove in the winter for 2 days. You can add other things to it, like very lean ground turkey or maybe chopped up tofu(have never tried this) for a protien, just remember to add the calories on. It is so low calories, you can do a lot of add ins and still not go over 100 cal. per serving.

2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
4 carrots, cut into coins
4 cups green beans, cut into thirds
6 celery stalks, sliced
4 cups broccoli florets
20 (about two packs) mushrooms, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 frozen 10 oz. pack)
1 quart diced tomatoes (I can my own tomatoes, so I'm not sure how much this would be fresh or store bought. Probably about 3 tomatoes fresh or 2 regular sized cans.)
1 head of cabbage
2 packages onion soup mix
1 cup brown rice (or you can use 1 cup of barley and reduce the calories even more. I personally like barley better.)
4 tsp. beef bouillon
spices to taste (I use cayenne pepper, paprika, seasoned pepper, and parsley but you can use whatever you like)
30 to 35 cups water

Put 2 cups of water in your pot and add the onion and garlic,let that simmer a little, then I just keep adding the veggies and covering with water as needed. After all the veggies are added, I put in the soup mix and get it boiling. Then I add the rice(or barley) and the rest of the spices. I let it cook for a long time. The least I have done is 2 hours, I think. Thats it. Kinda a no brainer, just add whatever veggies you like and cook, lol.

When I warm up a bowl, I always add more cayanne, because it's supposed to boost metabolism, plus I like spicy. It does get boring after a while, but its a nice mindless lunch (or dinner), that takes like 3 minutes to make. Enjoy

Accountability for Wed:
B: WW Bagel, eggbeater, tea w/ honey
L: hard boiled egg, soup
D: 4 oz Delmonico steak, one link sausage, soup
Snacks: 1 slice cheese, orange, WW Yogurt, handfull of pretzels
also about 4 sore throat drops, I have no clue whats in them.
Total: 1130
I walked at a high incline for 45. min and drank all my water. Meds and vitamins on time.
I have to sit around my house today and wait for the cable guy to show up. I got all my cleaning done already, and I'm hoping he gets here soon, so that I can workout. Have a great day everybody!!

great job Linsey!! Not sure I would like the soup, only cuz I don't like half the veggies... maybe I'll try my own version though! Thanks for the idea!

Great job Pandora and Linsey! yes, I have to remember the vitamin, lol.

Thanks Linsey for the recipe, I am going to print it out and let you know when I give it a try.

Yes, I will miss Kama today too

Miss Nicole, are you still going to post accountability even in cheerleader status? I think you should, lol!
