Pinto Bean Soup With Mint & Pine Nuts
2 cup Pinto or Anasazi beans
1 tbsp Sunflower or light olive oil
1 tsp New Mexican red chile
Salt
2 tbsp Chopped cilantro
2 tbsp Chives, minced
2 tbsp Pine nuts
- soaked overnight
1 small Onion, finely minced
10 cup Water
1 cup Half and half
2 tbsp Chopped parsley
4 sca lions, finely sliced
- toasted in a dry pan


SOAK THE BEANS overnight; drain. Transfer to a large soup pot, cover
the beans with fresh water. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes, then drain
and rinse them. Warm the oil in the soup pot, add the onion and chile
and briefly cook together. Next add the beans, 10 cups of water and
bring to a boil. Simmer until beans are tender, about 45 minutes for
new beans, longer for older beans. Season to taste with salt, then
continue cooking until they are completely soft. Puree half the beans
and cooking liquid at a time in the blender until smooth. Return the
puree to the pot. Add the cream and reheat. Chop toasted pine nuts
finely. Stir in the chopped herbs, reserving some of the chives.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining chives and
the pine nuts.

Advice on losing weight

If you want to get thinner and make improvements in your general condition, then, without doubt, you really should undertake a carefully designed healthy-minded meal plan. Theoretically, this should involve 5 measures of fruit & vegetables each day and require a sensible proportion of fat, carbs and protein.

When devising a diet, it is important to attempt to restrict your ingestion of salt, fats and refined carbohydrate.

When starting a weight loss program, dieters frequently focus on supermarket and well known foods labelled as 'low fat'. This is often a miscalculation, for a food item might be low in fat content, but still contain far too many carbs & calories.

Try drinking more water. Your body needs plain water , it is critical for our body's wellbeing and possesses zero calories. Water is also good in that it fills the dieters belly and helps decrease sensations of hunger. The recommended amount specialists claim that you should consume as high as six cups of plain water every 24 hours.

Rather than thinking about those junk foods that you really should eliminate from your meal plan, focus on the "good" foods that you should introduce to your daily routine. If one can introduce a few nutritious grains and vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel more satisfied and have a much lower risk of falling prey to those unhealthy mid-day nibbles.
