Carb shock

[Justa_swim_coach]

I can't believe how many carbs are in a cup a soup!!! Does anyone know why,

 

[Goonergal]

Probably because they have glucose syrup/sugar and a whole lot of starch in them. Never had one but just looked up the ingredients - yuk!

Highly processed rubbish?

I have decided next week I'm going to make my own keto soup and see what they are like.

Sounds like a much better idea! Will likely taste much better too.

This is in the Hearty Beef (250 ml) one I buy in winter.

Carbohydrate 4.2g per 100 grams or 10.4g per 250 ml (1 packet) serve.

Just as easy to simmer a bit of broccoli in stock blend it and add some cream a cheese. And much tastier.

 

[Dr Snoddy]

Celeriac and leek with lots of garlic. Is an unattractive shade of beige but tastes delicious!

 

[Resurgam]

I have quite a few kitchen 'toys' one of which is a Bamix hand held blender - it is really useful as it can be used straight into a pan or a jug and a few leftovers become a tasty sauce or the basis for a soup or stew.

My base for veg soup is leek,garlic and chilli ,marmite then any above ground veg Bung into pressure cooker or stock pot don't forget water or stock ! Cook for about 10 minutes according to amount Blitz and serve with a swirl of cream and a small sprinkle of turmeric and a few leaves of fresh parsley if you like It is a good start for experiment
