- from a recipe 6000 years old. Go to any reputable restaurant and first up amongst the Starters will be a soup. Why is that we have such a fascination for easy soup recipes?
INDIGESTION HEARTBURNFirst off, why is soup always first on the menu? Two reasons come to mind. First, having been puréed, it's an instant source of energy and satisfaction. If you're famished, first think a good soup. Second, and perhaps more important, if you have a weak diaphragm muscle, that which separates the chest cavity from the abdomen, the stomach may herniate through the diaghragm causing a "hiatus hernia".
The net result, if you drink any fluid, anything, tea, coffee, water, beer, soup at the end of the meal, it has a tendency to regurgitate into the oesophagus, the tube joining your throat to your stomach. Unlike the stomach, it is not protected against the very strong acid in the stomach. The result: indigestion heartburn. Avoid the hundreds of heartburn drugs. Instead have your soup at the beginning of the meal, and if necessary your coffee too! I do, but then I'm weird my family tells me! But I don't have the tummy grumbles in the middle of the night! INDIGESTION HEARTBURN ... WHAT IS SOUP?Perhaps it's stating the obvious but virtually all easy soup recipes start with an onion and then continue by combining other ingredients, usually meat or vegetables with stock or water. It's then boiled over low heat, extracting the flavour from the meat, or veg.You get clear and thick soups, and I confess an affection for the latter, so if you are looking for clear soups, go elsewhere. The thought of straining off the solids and discarding them, goes against the grain with me, though I suppose you could use the strained solids in another dish. For me, thick soups... The French are the experts, and so you get bouillons and consommés, bisques and Veloutés and the like. But now we are not talking simple soup recipes. And often they now cease to belong to what I describe at Slow Healthy Foods, made fast. The French love to add cream and eggs, and the like... "Good manners: The noise you don't make when you're eating soup."
Bennett Cerf, 1898 - 1971 STOCKSI use two basic stocks, the one easy, the other rather more tricky... I like them both because they are rich in the glucosamine chondroitin sulphate that your hyaline cartilage desperately needs. That's the stuff that lines the bones in your joints: neglect it and you get arthritis... rather think chicken bones bouillon and fish oil health benefits. HYALINE CARTILAGE ...GLYCEMIC INDEXGI gives you a measure of how rapidly a carbohydrate is absorbed into the blood stream. High GI foods give your body an insulin rush (the hormone that stores fat) and should be kept to a minimum.You may be concerned at "instant source of energy and satisfaction" if you have a diabetic tendency. Whilst our easy soup recipes will provide you with plenty of energy, warm the soul and the tum, they still have a low glycemic index. For example, making lentils (GI 30) into a lentil soup only raises the GI to 44. That's still very low. Tomatoes have a very low GI at 15. Making them into Tomato soup raises it to 38, still well within the definition of "low glycemic index".
To the easy soup recipes...For those of you with the time, and the yen, you can make these pretty-pretty, but my focus is on healthy food, made fast, getting us away from the fast food dinners that busy people are now buying on a daily basis from the supermarkets. Fast, expensive, filled with hydrogenated oils, preservatives, flavour enhancers, stabilisers and all that other crap, excuse my language, but I feel strongly about it. That stuff I feel sure is at the root of many of the cancers that are sweeping our Western World. I don't want to get cancer, and I'm committed to helping you avoid it too...These recipes you can make fast, but if you are having guests to dinner, take a little more time, sprinkle them with chives, or finely chopped parsley benefits, and even a dollop of cream if you know that your guests's blood cholesterol is in good shape.
Mushrooms are particularly rich in Selenium, an anti-oxidant mineral generally in short supply, and strongly associated with protection against the most common serious male cancer of the prostate. It definitely qualifies for our Healthy Food MADE FAST menus. Simple to make. A world-wide favourite, why mostly only enjoyed in high brow restaurants?
MUSHROOM SOUP RECIPES VICHYSSOISEIRISH POTATO LEEK SOUP ...EASY SOUP RECIPESCauliflower has no particular remarkable nutrient qualities but like all veg it's rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals, surprisingly low in calories, and a little dull, so we dicky it up here with a little curry and yoghurt. And cream, if your cholesterol is like mine, disgustingly low! Despite eating quite a high fat diet, and too much butter I confess. It's all about balance. Visit our Easy Soup Menu for recipes every week, and chances are your cholesterol will also drop.
