Hey Folks,
Awesome post below
on one “Farmhouse Vegetable Soup” written by DiabetesIreland . I found
this on the Diabetes.ie and I’m reprinting the whole thing here for your
convenience.
People with
diabetes are advised to follow a no added salt diet, so avoid added salt as
suggested in the recipe to reduce the sodium content as there will already be
salt in the stock cubes. When buying stock cubes it is a good idea to try the
reduced salt variety.
Vegetable soup counts towards 1 of your 5 a day.
Carbohydrate: Remember adding bread to this recipe will increase the total carbohydrate
Ingredients –
Serves 4 Adults
3 medium carrots
1 medium turnip
1 medium parsnip
2 leeks
1 medium onion
8 mushrooms
3 medium tomatoes
1 teaspoon of
vegetable oil
50g / 2 oz. of
plain flour
150ml / ¼ pint of
low fat milk
2 vegetable stock
cubes dissolved in 1 litre / 1¾ pints of water
Method
Wash, peel and dice
carrots, turnips and parsnips
Wash and chop
leeks, chop onion and slice mushrooms
Chop the tomatoes
Heat the oil in a
large saucepan, and gently fry onion and mushrooms
Add carrots,
turnips, parsnips and leeks and fry gently
Stir in the flour
to absorb fat, gradually stir in the semi-skimmed milk
Add stock and bring
to boil, stirring continuously
Add tomatoes,
pepper and a pinch of salt if desired
Cover saucepan and
simmer gently for about 45 minutes
This will add to
the total carbohydrate of your meal and so will affect blood glucose readings
Did anyone else out
there have tried this recipe? Share your results with me in the comments below.
Cheers,
Mauri
