{Grab what you have Soup}


I'm the kind of cook that doesn't have to measure everything or follow a recipe...
Many days I simply use what I have on hand when
creating a new dish or meal.
 
Hence...This Yummy Soup I made last night....
The ingredients I found were:
1 bag of frozen peas 
a partial bag of frozen edamame
1 can of spinach
a package of soft tofu
1/2 onion chopped 
salt & pepper
citrus seasoning
some sweet chili sauce
1 can of fat free chicken broth
1/2 cup non-fat milk
 
I put the first 8 ingredients in one of my favorite tools ever:
 
My Kitchen Aid Food Processor...and pureed them!
Then I emptied it into a pan on the stove and added the broth and milk 
and let it simmer for about 20 mins!
 
A dallop of sour cream and some fresh chopped scallions 
finished it off!


 And so good for you!

Stay Cozy & Healthy, Carrie

  9. Oh I envy you for being able to create something and have it taste good too. Whenever I have tried to do that - it isn't so tastey. But then I don't claim to be much of a cook. This looks delicious and healthy! Way to go!

  14. I found a big bag of edamame at Costco, thanks!
    It will be a nice "snack" for me and my daughter after school. The other two kids aren't so sure about them.
    But it is a quick vegie to make with a meal.
    Thanks again.
