  • Veggie soup - need advice

    Hi, as you know i am on induction. I really like soups and even though we are not allowed potatoes or carrots, but i would only need one each to make a huge pot (probably about 6 servings). Can i have it?

    No you cant, you can only eat the vegetables that appear on the legal list for induction. and even then only in the quantities that are stated. Either 2 cups or 1 cup per day.

        You need to fill yourself up with fat and protein. The % ratio for induction is as follows -

        65% fat
        30% protein
        5% carbs. And those 5% of carbs generally come from the veggies, and only those listed. Experience will show you that its the fat and protein that makes you satisfied (hunger wise) for longer

              Rich is SOOOOOOOOO correct about eating the Protein & Fat to fill you up! i TRULY thank you for that info Rich! this is such a new way of eating for me too... i couldnt figure out how i was going to stay full eating this way so i asked... and now when i feel the NEED to be FULL for a while, i mix up some Chicken with Mayo and put it on top of a Salad and im full for a while........ its Great! i guess you have to figure out what types of Protein & Fats YOU like and mix them up to fit your own taste and Believe ME! you will be so full and Very Happy! EAT!!! its not a bad thing anymore! just remember to eat off the list! but EAT! Have Fun with your food!

                Potatoes and carrots are not on the acceptable Foods list for Induction Phase. During my Induction phase, I made soups but I didn't use potatoes or carrots and they turned out fine.

                Also, is there any reason why you are trying to fill yourself up on soup?

                  Try making your soup a cream based one with Heavy cream and butter you can spice up the cream with a little beef or chicken broth too for more flavor then chop up your favorite legal veggies and toss in some chucky chicken and wala you have a fabulous legal soup!!!!!

                    I've discovered that turnips make a great potato sub in soups or stews. They take on the flavor of the meat and broth and we can't tell they aren't potatoes. HTH!

                      If you love soups why not make a huge pot of soup using the alloted veggies and some meat. Soup doesn't have to have potatoes or carrots and it doesn't take that many veggies to make a good soup.

                        I made some awesome soup the other day. I boiled a whole chicken, deboned it, threw it back in the broth and added chopped green and red bell peppers, mushrooms, turnips, celery, and onion. Boiled until the veggies were tender. Very good and filling.
                        My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.

                          I didn't think turnips were allowed, would someone confirm because I love turnips.

                            Have you ever been to Olive Garden and had their Suppa Toscana? I made that one day. It was good; however, I was bad and didn't take measurements of what I used. The ingredients, however, were induction friendly.
                            All you need is heavy whipping cream, kale, and sausage. I think I also used butter and Mrs. Dash's garlic and herb with no sodium, I had to add the salt myself.
                            At Olive Garden they put potatoes in it, but I didn't use them and surprisingly enough it tasted just like the soup they serve! You really can make tasty foods with the induction friendly foods
