here's one for you so you know what i am looking for. it's what my son and i had for lunch today.
total cook time including prep time: about 10 minutes.
ingredients & how to cook:
- box of butternut squash soup (i got mine at whole foods here in memphis) - about 1.5 cups should be enough food.
- put the above ingredient in pan by itself and cook on low until your next ingredients are cooked.
- chop up 1 leek including stem and 1/2 of purple onion (FYI: these are superfoods and detoxifying vegetables) and if you have a few cherry tomatoes then cut in half and throw them in with the veggies while cooking or add to the soup right before eating.
- place chopped up onion and leek into skillet, add 1/3 cup water and 1 tablespoon of oil of your choice (i like to use almond oil).
- cover skillet and cook on medium to high heat adding water as necessary. cook until a little soft. don't overcook (it will kill the nutrients).
- mix your soup and your veggies together.
- for protein add a chicken dog, turkey dog, tofu, tofu dog, chicken, or green peas, or have some scrambled or hard boiled eggs on the side, or even lean turkey bacon making to dry the grease with a paper towel.
