Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
I've got a target of hitting 40 grams of fiber per day. Does anyone know if the fiber count of a food changes if you put it through a food processer?
I have a great recipe for a fall harvest soup. I especially like it if after all the veggies are cooked, I put it all through the food processer before serving.
In case anyone wants to try it, here's my recipe. I call it Lily's Harvest Soup. You can use other vegetables if you don't like the ones I've chosen. This is just my base recipe, I change it up depending upon what's in the fridge.
Chop and put all ingredients into a pot. Cook until the veggies are soft. Let cool a bit, then put it all through a food processor or blender. The whole process takes less than an hour. If you're in a rush, don't process it. It's good chunky too.
Ingredient List:
Head of cauliflower or good size bunch of broccoli. The cauliflower has a less intense flavor.
1 medium sized buttercup squash. (NOTE: I cook it peel and all, just remove the stem and seeds.) If you can't find Buttercup, Acorn or Pumpkins, or any of the winter squashes work well.
1 large onion
a couple cloves of garlic
3 carrots
2 parsnips
1-2 chopped tomatoes
1 sweet potato
6-8 cups of Stock or water.
Seasonings: salt, pepper, cinnamon, sage, a couple of bay leaves.
This soup is good hot or cold. If you do dairy, top the soup bowl with a hit of non-fat sour cream for an extra creamy touch.
Enjoy!

The fiber count is exactly the same after you put soemthing thru the food processor -- it's just more busted up. And I must say that soup sounds fantastic.

sounds fantastic. We have an annual soup/chili night at church in October sometime. I think I'll make this.
