Here is the Nutritional breakdown for WHOLE POT:

Carbs = 9.4 Protein = 125.4g Fat = 153.6g Calories = 1941


There are many variations I use:
Chicken Meat, Ground Turkey, Stew Meat, Pork Chop Chunks
Use beef, chicken & pork base according to meat for desired flavor

Wowzers! That's it? Easy enough!!

What is the taste/texture of the lettuce? Like boiled cabbage?

I like it with a little crisp to it(I serve within 2 min of throwing the salad in), but my kids like it soft(like the cabbage you mentioned). I mess around with different spices with a dash of this or that spice in my bowl, garlic powder, chili powder, chinese 5 spice...It comes out real tasty to me! It kicks me into ketosis it no time. I can eat a 4 quart pot a day!

The salad can be 1 lb. of what ever vegetable you want.

In the chicken version, you can scoop the chicken tenders out of the soup with a strainer & cut them to bite size pieces, add a little dehydrated onion & snip some green onion over top & make a mock won-ton. I did a chicken w/broccoli for the 4th for me. I love the chicken base(as I call it). I'll use fresh spinach, or mustard greens, or cabbage(watch the carb's though), brussel sprouts. You can even make a good mock gumbo using okra & your spices right...

Creativity is yours...

Just start with 1/2 the recipe, use the EVO, butter & meat & add your own vege's!

Have fun with it...

Sounds yummy. Not the name though, hehe. Kind of reminds me of the name of a candy that I used to eat all the time. It was a black currant/licorice hard candy but it was known as cat piss candy because the first lick of it made you think of the smell of cat pee and then suddenly it would turn sweet in your mouth.

Dogbreath soup? Sounds sick!

Sorry, just a recipe.
I use it in Induction phase to put me into ketosis. Hee-Hee. I ought to call it Keto soup! 2 pots of this & I'm in full blown purple(KetoStix)!!! ~Cheryl

Does the combination of butter and hamburger fat make the soup really greasy? I know fat is our friend and all, but some things I really can't stomach when greasy instead of rich if that makes sense.

Made a hamburger & spinach DB...Yummy! Back in heavy Ketosis! ~Cheryl Ann

I bought a 10 pound chub of hamburger because of the cheap cost. I think this will be one of the recipes I try in order to get it used up fast.

Don't think I have boul.. erm the broth stuff. I might have a veggie based one though.

CValentine, I am ALL over this.... I have a hard time getting into Ketosis. I am going home to make me some of this soup PRONTO! Do you eat it just once a day? All Day?

Trying this tonight with the ingredients on hand.

I used a tad more hamburger to start, but it was 73/27 mix, so after it cooked there was probably about the same. I drained off the grease, then added the water and butter directly to the deep pan I browned the hamburger in.

I didn't have beef boullion, so instead I put in veggie boullion I did have. It had no salt or msg. After the mix boiled for 10, I put in spinach and butter lettuce as those were the greens I had on hand.

Since the boullion was salt free I tried adding salt sub and pepper to the soup when done. It was still really bland for my tastes though. I ended up adding in between 1/4 - 1/2 cup sugar free catchup. I realize that ups the carb amount but it did help with the blandness.

ETA: barely half a bowl and I am stuffed. My 4 year old wouldn't eat it, unfortunately, but I can get quite a few meals from it.

LadyBelle,

I am using the larger cubes of boullion, Knorr, which usually equals 2x the smaller cubes, or 8(total) for the small cubes. I would stop at 6 (small)cubes & taste. I've gotten used to the slightly bland taste of the base soup, but you can 'Jazz' it up w/some hot sauce or the SF ketchup (as you used), but count the carbs!

The cabbage/pork soup really rocked today! Ginger3000, I eat this all day, throughout the day, by the end of a full 48 hours of eating this soup I'm in full blown Ketosis! Take a look at my PLAN, I have an assortment of the beef, chicken & now my pork DB soup. The veggies are versatile, but types are limited for induction. You'll have to 'fine-tune' it for each of your tastes, but remember to 'plug it in' for calorie/carb/fat/protein breakdowns. I usually only make 1/2 pound of meat, cut the water to 3qts. & half everything else, so if I want to I can have something else fo breakfast & the soup for the rest of the day!

Chicken & asparagus is good too! Cauliflower, chinese greens, bok choy....be inventive!

LadyBelle, what is the name of the no salt/msg boullion you use?

Thanks & enjoy! ~Cheryl Ann

While there is no salt or msg, there is yeast and some rice, so it's not for everyone.

I bought it since it was sugar free. It seems most of the soup bases or broths I find add alot of sugars into them. I used 2 bouillon cubes for the entire soup, so added 100 calories on. I got a massive amount of soup from the recipe though, I'm thinking 10+ servings if I can only eat small amounts like tonight.
