Those Who Can Have Veggies On Pre-Op...

I can have a cup of veggies on my pre-op. I have concluded today that they are going to be made into Soup. I am STARVING. I plan to use my tortellini soup recipe sans the tortellini and Italian sausage.

For anyone who wants something to help ward hunger and spread their veggies out, this is what I am doing:

Saute one onion and several cloves of garlic until soft.

Add in large carton of broth (I use LS organic chicken or veggie broth)

Add 1-2 cans of fire roasted tomatoes

Bring to a boil for several minutes

Add in one bag of spinach and stir until wilted

Sprinkle with crushed red pepper if you like a kick

I figure this will do a couple of things:

-- Broth is ok and it will flavor it up

-- A bowl of soup can be mostly broth and half a cup of veggies

-- I can have soup at lunch and still have lean Protein and some veggies for dinner.

Please post if you have any ideas to help get through the 2 weeks.
