CABBAGE SOUP: NUTRIENT &  FLAVOR DENSE –  BUT EASY ON THE WAISTLINE

This recipe is an old favorite that my mom and I enjoyed making when I was in high school and college (especially when we were being extra mindful of our weight). I am going to share a basic recipe and you may decide to bulk it up with pasta or beans and flavor it with your favorite spices. You can also add other vegetables (I have added zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, spinach, kale or whatever I had on hand).

LOW CARB CREAMY CHICKEN & MUSHROOM SOUP WITH CAULIFLOWER RICE

If you have been paying attention, some of the most popular buzz-words right now are wellness, self-care, and low-carb. Though, I admit, as I age I realize how important paying attention to all three are. While I have not jumped 100% on the “carbs are evil” bandwagon.
