My Rad New Low Carb Soup!

Just "invented" today. had two nice mugs for lunch and my BGL didn't budge!

So, last might we had "take out". The only take out i really do now is barbecued charcoal chicken.

After dinner i stripped the chicken carcass of all the leftover meat - which i saved for adding back into the soup later.

Just covered the chicken carcass with water. Added a couple of celery stalks and two teaspoons of vegetable stock powder.

Bring this to the boil. Leave simmering (uncovered) for 1.5-2 hours.

Strain the broth. Discard bones.

Let cool over night.

Skim most of the fat from the surface. (Leave a little, it adds taste).

Chop up the saved chicken and add back in to the broth. Start warming this on the stove.

Now chop up some Wakame (Sea Vegetable - from the Japanese section (come on, who are we kidding, this is seaweed!!! )). Add this to soup. (I chopped up two sticks of Wakame - plenty).

Now add two good tablespoons of Miso (also from the Japanese section or market). I used Soyabean Miso (known as Hacko). This could also be known as Red Miso. I used it because it is lowest in carbs of all the Miso as far as i could see. (About 2 grams per 15g).

Let miso dissolve in the soup.

Adjust for salt and pepper.

This stuff is just so delicious that I almost had another cup of it for afternoon tea. (I didn't. I had tea in the end).

And i have enough leftover for lunch tomorrow!!!

Joel,

That sounds like a real winner, think I'll give it a go this weekend. Thanks for sharing.
