wow! That is a lot of veggies in one soup pot! I bet it is a really filling good soup though. I know there are some veggies there that arent good for us, but I think in small amounts, it would be great! You should put this recipe in the recipe thread, Lost.

I can see how it would clean you out... tons of fibre! Losing weight probably because it would be low in calories and low in sugar and carbs

I wonder if you need to use all of them or if you can just have some from each group, maybe add something similar as there are some things that my DH can't eat and some we don't eat.
As it is summer here now - not that I am noticing it as it is cold enough for a fire - I will note this and try it out in the winter when it is colder.

If any one has tried it or tries it would be very interested to hear if it works as I know my immune system could use all the help it can get anf weight loss is a permanent battle (has been all my life so nothing new there..........LOL)

yes, this chaps site seems to be putting the emphasis on all the colors being good for health.
It might be an acquired taste though I haven't heard of black mushrooms, and suppose you get the seaweed in the Chinese shop

Brewing all this amount of veg up and then not being able to stomach it would be a pain

I like old fashioned vegetable soup - just carrots, lima beans, string beans, celery and a little barley for thickening,

it would be a very expensive pain, LOst LOL

I have heard seeweed is good for weight loss.. something to do with metabolism. Kelp is the same thing.

yea looking at this guy's other recipes, I can see the weight falling off my wallet by the minute.

I like home made Scotch broth in the winter, with lots of barley in and chunks of lamb.

I suppose you need to have a large family to have the inclination to go to the bother of making home made soup.

I often make pots of soup in the winter and then freeze it in serving sizes and just grab it out and heat it - add some cream/milk and serve. It's great when people drop in and you can offer them something for lunch, serve with rolls or toast and you have a meal without having to go to much expense or work.

We get cheap chicken bones so we usually use that as the stock and then add any vegetable around the place that I feel like putting in. DH loves it especially when I have tomatoes to add.

I love soup... beef and barley... ministrone.....vegetable..... scotch broth is wonderful. I love all soups, I think. The only problem is that I am the only one who likes soup, so it is too much for me. I didnt know you could freeze it Hath. I thought once the meat in it was cooked or the noodles, it would go to mush. Now that I know, I will surely try that, then I can have it whenever I feel like it and still have it for company too!

I don't think I would freeze the noodles in it, just the broth and maybe vegies. Not sure cause I usually eat mine. If I do chicken and keep it I take the chicken out and just freeze the broth. Vegies would be ok I know but not sure about beef and noodle might get mushy?? Have to wait for Hath...

Whenever I make chicken soup I freeze in portions. I leave the chicken in but certainly not the noodles. The only problem is you really can't freeze carrots - they come out slightly mushy but I do it anyway, If I make split pea soup I freeze the soup and meat separately. The same with beef barley. But I don't make it like you, Goldi. I use flanken and don't cut it up in the soup till I eat it. Most of the time I make mushroom and barley soup with meat and take the meat out also.

I dont understand, Arline.. so you dont put your meat in the pot? Or do you put it in the pot and take it out when you freeze? That seems like a pain in the butt to me <G>

I take it out before freezing and freeze them separately,. Mine are not small pieces mixed in the soup, Its a piece or pieces of meat on the bone so its easy to take out. I told you I use flanken which is beef short ribs, Then if you want you can cut it up and put it in the soup.

Hmmm.. I dont know if I like that. I like to put the meat in the soup and make it really really tender. I am going to try to freeze it with the meat in and see what happens. I wont make a big batch, just so I can see what happens first.

What is it you don't like. The meat IS in the soup. Read my post again.
