This soup is super easy to cook and when you break it down into individual meals it’s relatively cheap per serving. You can easily pack it up in a Thermos and take it to work, and if you are at home you can leave it on low and have it ready in seconds. There are a good 6 bowls (meals) in the pot that I make and it’s easy enough to make an even bigger batch. Because this is a low caloric meal, you can add burgol or eat it with whole grain bread. My husband Frederick likes to break up two pieces of whole grain bread into little pieces and mix that into his soup – he also started putting hot sauce into it for more flavor (this might be too much :) ). Another great thing about soups and stews is that they always taste better the next day, and the pot will keep nicely in the fridge so you can enjoy your soup over the course of a few days. It also helps to take care of any leftovers in the fridge :)

P.S.
Obviously this soup does not contain enough calories for anyone for a whole day – but you can have this soup as part of your daily diet – just make sure that you are getting enough calories in your body each day from a variety of sources. If you don’t consume enough calories then your body will start breaking down your muscle tissue and this will lead to a slower metabolism, decreased strength and stamina and a whole lot of things you definitely want to avoid so eat up!
ummmm it’s realy look good

ummm, thanks oh by the way i ordered Burgol because i tried buying it locally and i can’t find it. I’m still looking for the Psylium fiber from Organic India can’t find it either i might have to order it as well.
Best,
Natalie :)
HI Natalie,
the psylium is a good fiber, but it is not that necessary really. You can get a lot of fiber from eating other foods. Also if you drink coffee before you eat you will also get the feeling of full stomach or better and healthier choice would be a vegetable soup that is very low in calories but makes you full. Another thing that I noticed when I started to drink a plenty of water was that I don’t get really hungry during the day and it is much easier for me to eat small portions 5-6 times a day.
Zuzana, come visit my blog spot and see what a little change I made in one month. Thanks to your tips on diet and nutrition…
I have seen the pictures, good work! :)
I can really see the difference! Keep it up!
Best,
Frederick
Hey Natalie, I don’t know if you have a Rite Aid or CVS Pharmacy around you, but they carry the Psyllium. Thats where I found it.
Pls let me know how did u prepared it…I’m really bad at it. Just little instructions on how to prepare it.
Thnx, it looks yummy and gud. I wanna try it today.
I boil the chicken breasts and the vegetable separately. When you boil the meat, some grease will stay in the water, so I get rid of that and I put the boiled chicken in the pod with the vegetable when both are done. There is nothing else to it.
wow..i just had prepared it and had put a little soya n tomato sauce in that..was yummy.
Can it replace the dinner?
sure
