    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.

    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!

    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.
