1 1/2 qts chicken broth
1lb froz broccoli, thawed
1c Carb Countdown Dairy Beverage (try reg soymilk instead??)
1/4 c heavy cream
1c crumblede blue cheese

In a large saucepan, saute' the onion in the butter over medium-low heat - don't brown.

When onion is soft & translucent, add the turnip and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let it simmer for 20-30 mins.

Scoop vegetable out with a slotted spoon and place them in your blender, add a ladel of broth and puree them - return to pot.

Stir in Carb Countdown, heavy cream and cheese. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally and serve.

Yield: 6 servings each w/243 cals; 17g fat; 14g protein; 9g carbs; 3g fiber; 6g net carbs.



They have great deals at Amazon on package sets of her cookbooks if you like this recipe and want more.

I make cream of aspargaus soup all the time.

1 can asparagus.( get the cut kind you are going to puree anyway)
2 chicken boulion cubes
1/4 cup of cream
1/4 cup cheddar cheese.

I put the entire can juice an all in a small pot, I add the boulion and boil until disolved. I put the whole mess in the blender and puree. I return to stove add the cream and heat until it has reduced a bit(I like thicker soup). I put it in my serving bowl and add the cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Really easy and very tasty.

serves 1-2 with 8-4 carbs respectively.

I do broccoli (and/or cauliflower) soup once in a while and mine is super simple and I vary the ingredient amounts from one batch to another.

Simmer the veggies in a can or two of chicken broth until they're soft then use an immersion blender to smooth it out. I like to leave it with a bit of texture. Add in some grated cheese and let it melt and a bit of cream to make it even creamier.

As I am in the UK and have never seen Velveeta I am not 100% certain but think that Velveeta is a 'processed cheese spread' and as such not an induction-legal cheese.
According to Kraft it has 3 grams of sugar per ounce!

Re: Anyone Have A Broccoli-Cheese Soup Recipe???

Velveeta, although very tasty, is not induction legal. Definitely all processed.

Anyway, I am so happy to see this thread!! I am going to be making me some broccoli and cheese soup this weekend. YUM!!!!

Re: Anyone Have A Broccoli-Cheese Soup Recipe???

I grew up eating Velveeta as well, and I was sad to find out it's a no-no...but gee, seriously, the words 'processed cheese food' make me cringe nowadays.

I made a FANTASTIC soup one day out of leftovers!
I made this for dinner the night before
http://www.atkins.com/recipes/p/pork...tard-sauce-178
but I used chicken instead of pork tenderloin. Either way, this is truly a delicious recipe and I completely recommend it, served with mashed cauliflower, oh goodglaveninagladbag, it's good!!

I make extra sauce when I do it up and I had a fairly good serving left over. The next day I took the leftover chicken broth, cooked up a bit of onion and cauliflower(or whatever you have handy) then I pureed it a bit, added some cheddar cheese, and the leftover cubed chicken and remaining sauce and a bit of leftover fresh dill.
Oh it was delicious!

I command everyone to make this ...lol Just kiddding!
Well, no, not really...I do recommend it. It shows a person that Atkins can be delicious and completely not boring!

*edited to add*
I've found some wonderful recipes off of www.atkins.com but you need to really be aware of your Acceptable Foods list, and be firm in your committment to follow the Rules of Induction as set out in DANDR. Atkins Nutritionals has some funny ideas since the good Doctor passed away, and while the book says not to eat certain things, the website includes these same things in their recipes.
I also notice that they have re-done their website and they aren't categorizing what stage recipes are ok for, so again, make sure you have your copy of DANDR handy, so you can make sure the recipe is Induction-friendly.
Don't be intimidated by this though....it's good to test your knowledge, and ADBB is always here to help if you need someone to check something out for you.
