Lima Bean & Leek Soup Recipe

...brought to you by Recipes EU





Lima Bean & Leek Soup
8 cup Water
1/3 cup Lentils
1/3 cup Lima Beans
1/3 cup Wild rice
1 large Leek
1/4 cup Tomato sauce or Ketchup
4 dash Hot sauce or more
4 dash Fish sauce
4 dash Soy sauce
2 Chicken bouillon cubes


This recipe would be vegan if the fish sauce and bouillon cubes are
eliminated and vegetable bouillon and extra soy used in their place.
I am sure it would taste even better with the addition of a good
stewing chicken, but it was created from the materials on hand one
weekend. The lentils are long cooked until they disintegrate to form
a meaty looking and tasting stock, an effect that is enhanced by the
tomato.

Bring the water to a boil in a soup pot and add lentils; simmer
covered 1/2 hr or more. Add the lima beans and cook another 1/2 hour.
Add the rice and cook another 20 min. Add the chopped green portions
of a large or 2 medium well washed leek[s] [They are sandy and there
is always sand trapped in the outer leaves] and simmer 10 min. Add
the sliced white portion of the leek and the remaining ingredients.
Simmer 15 min and serve.

A few tips on healthy eating

If you want to drop a dress size and better your general shape, without doubt you ought to decide on a meticulously prepared healthy-minded dietary regime. Theoretically, this must take in 5 portions of grains, fruit and vegetables a day and also incorporate a sensible mixture of protein, carbs and fats.

When deciding on a meal plan, the most important step is to try to cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.

When buying food, dieters ordinarily look at supermarket and well known products professing to be 'low fat'. To do this is usually wrong, seeing that a food item could be moderate in fat, but whilst still remaining elavated in carbohydrates.

Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Occasionally at some stage in a busy day, you imagine that you need a snack but in reality you simply want a pure cup of water or orange juice. The sensations of thirst and hunger are much the same, but one of them leads to weight gain and the alternative is healthy.

As an alternative to focusing on those food types you need to eliminate from your meal plan, concentrate on the good foods that you might want to add to your dietary regime. If one can manage to insert a few healthy grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon find that you feel full and have a substantially decreased risk of being seduced by those unhealthy afternoon nibbles.
