; we’ll leave out all the butter and oil, but not the flavor! The callaloo soup is a healthy variation of what I learned from some very talented cooks in Jamaica. We’ll be using some greens available here in the States that yield a quite acceptable facsimile. Wendy Esko’s 1996 small, but classic Soup Du Jour
cookbook inspired the creamy chick pea and sweet rice soups, but I’ve taken them to a different level! As always the recipes are all meat-free, oil-free, dairy-free, and low in sodium!
For the health conscious eater, especially those going through a lifestyle modification involving weight reduction, soup can be a way to introduce creativity and variety as well as satisfaction. A small, but well structured study attested to the high degree of satisfaction derived from soups leading subjects to actually consume almost 30% less calories when presented soup as opposed to the same food items in a different form.[1], [2], [3] Soup is almost an essential dietary component of any lifestyle modification protocol! These data were confirmed and their implications expanded in a larger 2007 study that found “pre-loading” or consuming soup in a variety of forms before a meal, reduced overall calorie intake for both men and women ages 18-45. [4]
With Soups Only v2.0 we’re going to continue trying to identify that magical moment when ingredients become more than the sum of their parts. Soups are where you best learn to isolate flavor profiles and blend them to create something that’s truly special. Learning how to manipulate all the variables of that “flavor graphic equalizer” is what these Soups Only demonstrations are all about...I hope you can join us!
Look for “Soups Only” v3.0 Spring Edition and v4.0 Summer Edition coming later this year!
