It's me! I made some soup this evening, & Woofa doesn't realise just how little meat there is in it!
I'll tell you, what I did to make my Green & Orange (is that Irish Soup?) Soup:
I made it from frozen broccoli, pumpkin, sweet potato, spinach, & some grated fresh potato, with some cream of chicken soup & a little stock powder. Cut up the vegies more, (leaving the spinach aside to drop in at the last couple minutes), then break the vegies up using my little chopper bowl; these vegies go into a pot, with water enough to let them cook long enough to cook the grated potato. Then I stir in the chicken soup, then when that is heated, I drop in the spinach. The heat in the soup soon melts it, & the soup is ready to eat. I made enough to save some for tomorrow. Note: I added no more salt than what was in the chicken soup & the teaspoon & a half of stock powder.
It tasted pretty good, but I know that soup has too much salt. Maybe the stock too, if I am honest & don't make excuses for buying any more of these highly processed foods.
Sadly, my tomato soup will also have to not on my shopping list either. Salt & sugar content is too high.
I am getting a lot (although not as in depth as I would like) from "Magda's Big Australian Health Check".
I especially like how the GP Magda Szubanski spoke to, explained how the food industry is doing things very much like how cigarette companies have done, in their efforts to sell us product they know VERY well is no good for us. I'm going to hang onto that, just like when I got good & cranky at the producers of cigarettes when I quit them. Thinking how much we are manipulated by food manufacturers will help me a lot when I am shopping, or even out & want some lunch.
A new 'mantra', if you like, for me, is: just keep moving.
If only I could get exercise while sleeping!
