2nd Man has been tweaking our normal meals and making them healthier. Low to no salt, but using so many wonderful spices and seasonings, we don't miss it. So the other day, he made some vegetable and chicken soup.
Diced up chicken breast (we roast our own, no oil, skinless, no salt, just other seasonings) and then lots of vegetables; mushrooms, onions, carrots, parsley, spinach, and green onions....
Cooked all together with water and low sodium chicken bouillon (the only actual sodium in the entire pot and then it's very little) and an hour later...
We enjoyed a nice bowl of healthy chicken and vegetable soup. He is also now regularly making loaves of whole wheat bread and multigrain bread so that we control the ingredients. Low sodium and avocado oil instead of butter. So good!
For dessert, sliced bananas (super good for the heart) with a sprinkling of sugar and then lime juice and zest over the top of that. It might sound weird but it is a WONDERFUL combination of flavors.
Of course, here is Hobart...sleeping on the couch next to me, super comfortable, using the couch cushion as his pillow. Because...

ReplyDeleteYour chicken 🐔 soup 🍲 sounds and looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteHobart is so dark, he simply disappears into his own fur! It's difficult to see him clearly!!
Question - have you tried edamame or fava beans? They are two heart healthy beans loaded with potassium and magnesium. Great for your blood pressure.
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks so colorful and delicious.
ReplyDeleteHappy to read you are recovering nicely, and getting stronger.
Sweet Hobart, he's such a a love.

It is so easy to replace sodium and fat and still have great flavor. The soup looks great. Lying on a sofa is a wonderful relaxant. And, Hobart always looks relaxed.
ReplyDeleteDang! That soup looks good! (Now I want soup! LOL!)

Cold, freezing temperatures; nothing better than a nice bowl of hot, healthy soup. Looks Delicious 2nd Man.
ReplyDeleteThat was the way I would always eat my bananas, only with a splash of lemon.
A banana a day keeps the Dr. away. Oh, wait, I guess that's an apple a day that keeps that Dr. away.
You both - Stay warm and stay safe
