This sounds SO GOOD! Is it from a can or homemade (gotta recipe?) :thumbup:

Bloo,

Here is the recipe for the chicken-white bean-green chili soup.

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 of a chopped onion

2 minced garlic cloves

2 cups shredded chicken (I use rotisserie chicken but canned can be used)

1 small can green chilies - use 2 cans if you more heat in your soup

1 can white beans, drained and rinsed

1 quart of low sodium chicken stock or broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

5 oz can of evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)**

salt and pepper

-saute onion with olive oil in a large pot

-add remaining items except salt, pepper and evaporated milk

-bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes

-add evaporated milk. simmer for 5 more minutes

-add salt and pepper to taste

-you can serve soup with a little shredded cheese on top for garnish

**I use evaporated milk to add a creamy texture to the soup without adding tons of fat and calories...you can use heavy cream if desired...you can also omit the milk all together if you don't like creamy soups.

I freeze leftovers in individual serving sized containers and pull one out of the freezer when I don't feel like cooking.

Would you share with me your protein shake recipe? I can't fine a protein drink I like, except Slim Fast Low Carb. I bought a Magic Bullet and New Whey vanilla protein powder, and they are sitting on the shelf, unused.

my correction if not seen - 11grams of protein, not 1g:tongue2:

ellinda - i really don't count fat grams & never have since being banded. btw - these are 15g of fat p serving.

for me, i watch my calories / protein & thats about it. i allow for fattier foods (not all days) some days, so long as i stay close to my 1100 calories per day.

i love asparagus & your recp is very easy. i make an asaparagus salad:

bunch of aparagus, using 2/3's of the stalk cutting in inch pieces.

spread on a cookies sheet with salt/peper & olive oil - bake 350 for about 10mins. i like a bit of crunch

boil 1 cup of ronzoni smart taste rotini (any kind will do)

when pasta & aparagus is done i mix in a bowl along with 3/4c feta / 2 healthy tbsp of olive salad (get at sams club - has 10 diff kinds of olives in a oil/vinegar mixture) / 2tbs of lemon juice / tsp lemon zest / 1/4c greek salad dressing.... chill
