This soup is SO delicious, you can serve it at any time (not just during HCG diet). Counts for 1 vegetable. It makes quite a lot, so I've listed it as 2 servings, but if you're REALLY hungry, can count for one. Taken from The HCG Diet Cookbook Gourmet Success. Ingredients:
2 cups low sodium chicken broth or 2 cups vegetable broth |
1 bay leaf |
2 cups fresh tomatoes, chopped |
3 ounces tomato paste |
6 leaves fresh basil, rolled and sliced |
2 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped |
2 tablespoons onions, chopped |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 pinch marjoram |
1 dash sea salt |
1 dash pepper |
Directions:
1. Pour broth in saucepan and add bay leaf.
2. Purée remaining ingredients in a food processor or blender.
3. Pour purée in saucepan with broth and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
5. Serve hot, garnish with fresh basil leaves or parsley.
