Soup

I'm making some soup. 

It's fat free and pretty damn low calorie. 

I did it because my sister is sick, and our mom used to make us chicken noodle soup. We don't have any noodles, but it's still pretty good, though it's not finished yet. 

Here's the recipe:

• 4 cups Light Chicken Broth(20 calories)
• Eight baby carrots(32 calories)
• One tablespoon of scallions/green onions or the green parts of two scallions(2 calories)
• Two pinches of dried rosemary(0 calories)
• One clove of garlic, crushed(0 calories)
• One medium potato, with skin(163 calories)

Pour the broth into a big saucepan on high heat. Throw in two pinches of rosemary to steep while you chop the veggies. Carrots have a tendency to dry, so if you've had these carrots for more than three days, they should go in first. Chop them into reasonable slices and slide them in. Then wait until the broth is steaming to chop up your scallions and slide them in. Chop the potato into smallish pieces, or whatever size you'd prefer, and slide them in, too. After that, crush your garlic until it breaks and drop in the pieces - do not chop it, because the flavor won't release properly. Let the soup cook until the potatoes are soft, then serve. 

One entire pot is 217 calories, but you can dish it up in however many servings you'd like. Feel free to strain out the garlic and rosemary, if the textures are not appealing to you. 

Anyways, I hope that all six of you are doing well. I can't believe that six people have seen my blog so far, and I'm so pleased that someone's seen this blog. I hope this recipe is helpful, too; nobody associates chicken soup with starving, and it's a damn big portion, so you can graze all day. 

See you all on the skinny side,
