Notes

VARIATIONS
I have made this soup with various additions, like chopped onion and bell pepper. I also like the spicy Italian sausage cooked and crumbled into this soup. You could also add mushrooms, hamburger, diced ham, or any other item you could top a pizza with.

CarbSmart Podcast Episode 23: Refusing Holiday Food and Staying Low-Carb can be tough at first but you can do it to avoid the Food Pushers. The holidays are straight ahead, and with them piles and piles of carby junk, and worse, people nagging you to eat the stuff. Why so many people think that saying things like "But you have to eat it! It's traditional!" and "I worked all afternoon making it just for you" constitutes an expression of holiday goodwill, I have no idea, but sadly this behavior is all too common. You need to think ahead about how to respond to this sort of thing.
