Cheese soup

Cheese Soup

5 cups chicken broth
1 package of California blend vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots)

While this is coming to a boil

make a roux of 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup butter (cook until it starts to turn brown)
cut up 8 oz. of Velveeta into cubes

Add your flour/butter slowly stirring well
Add the velveeta and stir until it melts

Add pepper if you like.

I serve it to my family in bread bowls. Of course, I go without the bread.
Yummy!

Meat and Celery Soup

For lunch today I made some delicious soup.  Spike keeps thinking about going on this low carb diet with me but just can't quite commit.  He gets what I get for lunch and if he wants to indulge himself in more carbs he has to get his own ;)  He was pretty satisfied with this soup though

Swanson Chicken Broth doesn't have any carbs in it so it is a great start to any soup.  Just dice up the celery and chicken or pork.  I had some left-over pork chops so I used those.  Put then in a pot together and add about 2 table spoons of butter and bring it to a boil.  Soups On!

To balance out the lunch I had some sugar free Jello. No carbs there and had a can of diet Shasta Grapefruit, mmmm, my favorite.
