I was in the mood for soup, and decided to try this simple recipe I
had saved. It was not only good it was positively awesome! Hubby
loved it so much he went back for a second big bowl full and told me
to PLEASE make that one again!


MULLIGATAWNY (CHICKEN) SOUP

1/2 c. butter

1 c. diced onion

1 c. diced celery

1 c. diced carrots

1 small potato, peeled and diced

1/2 tsp. curry powder

1/4 c. uncooked rice

6 c. chicken broth

1 (8 oz.) can tomatoes, diced with liquid

2 bay leaves

1/8 tsp. Thyme

2 c. diced cooked chicken

Salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

In a large pot, melt butter.

Add celery, onions and carrots and sauté in butter for 5 minutes.

Add curry and rice, sauté 1 minute more.

Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes, bay leaves and thyme.

Heat to boiling, cover and simmer 25 minutes.

Add salt, pepper and chicken just before serving.

Garnish with parsley.

Serves 6-8.


*********************


(I used one quart of my home made chicken broth and two cups of water
with one Knorr chicken bouillion cube for the rest of the broth)

This was so incredibly simple and so good you can't believe it.

The only thing I might do differently is use a tad more Curry powder,
since we both like it.

Muligatawny soup is one of my favourites, this is a slight variation, so
i'm interested in trying it!

Your dietitian might want to look that up. I know that I only tolerate
about a spoonful, and only if it's not all soft and bloated from
overcooking or soaking in soup. From all I've read, since wls requires
so little food consumption, and protein and fat are the only two
essential macronutrients in human nutrition without which you develop
starvation and other deficiency problems, and starches are so nutrient
impoverished and calorically dense, they are typically advised against.
Especially if they take up room that protein, fat and nutrient dense
veggies might otherwise. That's how other folks I know have been told to
eat; protein, enough fat so you don't die or develop disorders, and veggies.

Sure I can. But I don't see any point in coming to a diabetic specific
newsgroup to find a recipe with much of it's calories coming from rice
and potato. I can find those anywhere folks don't have diabetes. It's
not just me acting out of a desire to control, I take it as a kind of
personal lack of caring for the needs of others. I know that's not your
intent, but I infer a dismissal of the central role of diet control of
diabetes implicit in having a diabetes specific food group.

It's discouraging to me to start reading and realize how many added and
unnecessary carbs are there, and I start thinking that the poster
doesn't care that the recipe is so unfriendly to so many of us.

Something I haven't used for years, thanks for the reminder Extra
spice without extra heat.

Susan, with all respect, i have found that everyone needs foods that
vary from what any one individual needs (read, we are all different with
different needs).

The recipe that Evelyn has kindly shared can be modified to suit your or
my needs. If this soup is a starter to a heavier carb meal for me, i
would cut the carbs. If this soup is dinner for me, i would increase
the carbs.

I believe the YMWV disclaimer needs to be applied.

I cannot give the nutrient breakdown as the new computer is 64
bit/byte/whatever over the old 32 bit/byte/whatever........... they
finally broke me and i have to buy new programs!

How many years has it been in your pantry? ;-D

We have a generic Punjabi style, which I get from Penzeys.com. It's made of
coriander, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, caraway, cloves, ginger and
nutmeg. It combines well with sweet or hot curry blends and brightens up
mashed potatoes, sauteed veggies, fish, poultry, lamb or pork. When I say
brightens up, I mean it enhances and broadens the flavor. In India, there
are more varieties than there are cooks and dishes.

EXACTLY! Thank you for realizing this. In the case of the soup in
question, it was an entire meal in itself. No bread or other food
was served with it.

well, Nick, in 1976, a lovely neighbour invited me over for East Indian
food (long before i learned different regions cook different ways)

and, hey, who am i to turn down a free meal????

and these lovely folks (keep meeting new ones) all love to cook a batch
of their favourite and bring it over to me, or in to work, or..... then
there is the Taj Mahal (which has recently gone Indo Chinese! new owners!)

so, dare i admit that i don't cook a lot of that persuasion of food, i'm
given the food! and then i'll make a fav of mine for the lovely folk to
try something they haven't seen before (my food is SO much more boring,
sigh)

and then there is hubby who loves to play with various curry persuasions

i DO have to learn how to make Saag Aloo!

One of my favorites is saag bhaji (spinach), Bangladesh style; quite spicy.

Here's a recipe that sounds good:

Saag Bhaji Recipe - Serves 4-6

Ingredients
6 tablespoons (90ml) vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) black mustard seeds
1 teaspoon (5ml) cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon (1ml) fenugreek seeds [or yellow mustard seeds - Nick]
8 curry leaves [basil, bay or Kaffir lime leaves - Nick]
3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
4 dried red chillies, coarsely chopped
450g (1 lb) fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 large potato, peeled and cut into 1/2cm (1/4 inch) cubes
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) ground turmeric
1 teaspoon (5ml) ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) garam masala
1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) chilli powder
3 medium tomatoes, finely chopped
1 teaspoon (5ml) salt

Method
Heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) of the vegetable oil over a medium heat in a
large frying pan or saucepan (you need one with a lid) Fry the black
mustard seeds until they start to pop (1-2 minutes), stirring a couple of
times Add the cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, curry leaves, garlic and dried
chillies, mix well and fry for 3 minutes, stirring often Add the spinach,
mix well, reduce the heat a little, cover and simmer for 15 minutes,
stirring now and again, and then set aside Heat 1 tablespoon (15ml) of the
vegetable oil over a medium heat and fry the potato cubes until they are
well browned (around 7-10 minutes), stirring often, and then set aside Heat
the remaining 3 tablespoons (45ml) of vegetable oil over a medium heat in a
large frying pan or saucepan (you need one with a lid) Fry the onion until
it is brown (about 10 minutes), stirring often Add the turmeric, cumin,
garam masala and chilli powder, mix well and fry for 3 minutes, stirring
often Add the previously cooked spinach and potatoes along with the
tomatoes and salt, mix well, bring to a good simmer, reduce the heat, cover
and simmer for 10 minutes (or until the potatoes are cooked), stirring now
and again Serve hot.

Of course you can. If I did it over 38 yars aago, you will find the will
one day, and I hope it is soon.

Good tobe hearing from you again.

If I could do it, you can do it! You just have to be committed and
really WANT to quit, really know how bad it is for you. You are
stronger than you realize!

You have had a rough year, but you need to remember this; A non
smoker has OTHER ways of coping with stress than smoking. We just go
and do something else. A woman I know went to a hypnotist to stop
smoking. He asked her "what does a non smoker do when they want a
cigarette?" She said..."I don't know, I guess they just forget about
it" The hypnotist made that her mantra or special phrase. Every time
she wanted a cigarette, she just said "forget about it" .... It
worked.

yes as i see it its smoke or eat, hypnotist helped the dh to quit one time
and i cut way back, its not that i am not quitting just not right now, Lee

i am actually cutting down, but the idea of giving up something else, or
using will power somewhere new is beyond what i am able to do right now,

Well the way they work is that the filter thing has an inside bit that
the vapour generating oil stuff goes on to, mine came with about 6 extra
filters and I bought an extra bottle of the vapour oil (Marlbro flavor) :-)
That will last me a long time as you only use about 2 drops for that
satisfying fake smoke illusion and taste, good for about 300 puffs they
reckon.
