how do you cook it? cook the vegi first then add to the sauce? Put raw vegi in with the sauce then cook on stove in big pot? We need more info!

Where does the tomato go in at?

I’m not to big on mushrooms, so I’ll be subbing it for something else…. maybe celery.

On one of your menus you served this with no protein. Am I missing sonething? You also had leftovers for a couple of lunches. Are you considering the mushrooms to have enough protein. Just curious.
Leigh
that must have been a mistake if it was served without protein. Each meal always should have a significant protein. Apologies. We’re still pretty new, and do make mistakes, but we’re working hard, I promise

I tried this yesterday and was very surprised at the results. This was amazing. However, instead of using one cup of hot water, I used 1/2 cup of Organic Free Range Chicken Broth + 1/2 cup of water. To me, this added a bit more flavor.
I’m going to try this again tonight and add other vegetables as well.
NOTE: Make sure the soup is hot, but not BOILING HOT as you are cooking it.
Have a nice day!

Where does the grapefruit come in?

@cbabco2: It’s gragefruit juice, or, more accurately, squeeze the juice from 1/2 a grapefruit and blend it in step one.

This sounds great. How many people do you think it serves? Two? thanks!
Beth
Yes, this recipe is designed with two people in mind, but you’ll want to accompany it with some protein, most likely a meat dish of some sort.

What would you suggest as a substitute for grapefruit juice? I cannot drink grapefruit juice at this time.

This was pretty good, I would call it guacamole soup! I will also double the mushrooms next time.

Simple, easy, delicious meal. My husband and I have been on Paleo for six weeks. We follow the menu and use the shopping list. Since we began we have had no cravings and not been hungry. Suddenly we are craving all the wrong foods: ice cream, pasta, french fries, etc.. We do not want to lose our momentum, what do you suggest?

Hi Margaret,
Congratulations on your decision to start eating paleo! I wanted to offer my own tips for getting over the craving hurdles, which come up from time to time…
I would first ask if you have allowed any sugar back in your diet recently. In my experience, if I have let in any extra sugar, unknowlngly or even by fruit or wine, it can start a whole psychological and physical roller coaster in which I begin to crave bad carbs. When I’m super strict, however, I don’t feel that way. Craving carbs is now a signal to me that I’ve let something back into my diet.
My only real tip for you is to be sure you’re eating things you love! I noticed you mentioned in your post that you have been following the menu and shopping list.. sometimes, following another person’s plan can leave you unsatisfied, even if the plan is completely healthy! This is in no way meant to discredit the menu plan, but an encouragement to “make it your own”! Food is to be mentally, not just physically, satisfying, and if you’re eating meals you love all the time, you will be much less likely to want more. Hope this helps!

This recipe looks great, I’m going to try it this week.
