ESCAROLE AND TURKEY SAUSAGE SOUP (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 2)



Escarole and Turkey Sausage Soup (South Beach Diet Phase 2) image

From most recent book. Haven't tried. Escarole is a hearty green that is just as delicious served raw in salads as it is cooked into soups or sauteed with olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Meatball lovers can replace the sausage with mini chicken or turkey meatballs made with lean white meat.

HAMBURGER MINESTRONE SOUP (SOUTH BEACH DIET)



Hamburger Minestrone Soup (South Beach Diet) image

I came across this recipe for minestrone, adapted for the South Beach Diet, on the 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet boards a few years ago. It's become a family favorite since. It makes quite a lot of soup, but it reheats well. If making this for the South Beach Diet, watch out for added sugar in the tomatoes and beans-- a lot of canned beans and tomato products have sugar added to them. You can also substitute very lean ground turkey and chicken broth for the beef.

AMAZING VEGETABLE SOUP (SOUTH BEACH DIET)



Amazing Vegetable Soup (South Beach Diet) image

This was posted by a fellow SBDer, Mamacita, in the 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet boards. It's a wonderfully delicious, simple, vegetable soup. It originally called for zucchini, but I leave it out as I dislike summer squash. Feel free to add some in if you like, though. I sometimes add in a can of navy beans, rinsed and drained, with the tomatoes. For South Beach Diet, make sure your tomatoes have no added sugar. It makes quite a bit, but it reheats fairly well--or you can cool and freeze it. Don't be afraid of the garlic--it mellows out a lot during cooking.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h20m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts chicken broth or 2 quarts vegetable broth
1 small head green cabbage, shredded (I use angel hair shredded cabbage) or 1 (10 ounce) bag shredded cabbage for Coleslaw (I use angel hair shredded cabbage)

1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can navy beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
shredded parmesan cheese, optional garnish (optional)
basil pesto, optional garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine broth, cabbage, celery, leek, garlic, and green beans in an 8-quart soup pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until green beans are just tender.
  • Add tomatoes, zucchini, and squash (and navy beans, if using) and cook an additional 45 minutes.
  • Serve hot, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese or with a spoonful of pesto stirred in, as desired.

THAI SHRIMP SOUP (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 2)



Thai Shrimp Soup (South Beach Diet Phase 2) image

From newest book. Haven't tried. This tangy, spicy soup is made with classic Thai ingredients that are easy to find. Look for both chili-garlic sauce and Asian fish sauce in the specialty food section of most large supermarkets. If you have leftovers, simply whisk when reheating.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around the kitchen.
  • Choose high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the flavor of your soup. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and choose a good quality turkey sausage.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Turkey sausage can be cooked in a variety of ways, but it is important to make sure that it is cooked through before adding it to the soup. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will help to develop the flavors and allow the vegetables to soften.
  • Season to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, taste it and add additional salt, pepper, or other seasonings as needed.
