Low Carb, Slow Cooker Soup Recipe!

It was 25 degrees here this morning – that is way too cold for this Florida girl turned Texan!

Perfect soup weather, though!  I thought I would share my simple recipe for soup!   Since my weight loss all of my cooking (and eating) is low to no carbs.  So, I added up all of the carbs in all of the ingredients and divided by the servings we got out of it and I got 8 carbs per serving.

Generally 60 or less carbs a day is considered “Low Carb”, so, 8 carbs for one meal is great!

Ingredients:

2 cans Diced Tomatoes
1 can Tomato Paste
1 lb Hamburger
2 large yellow Onions
2 cups chopped Kale
2 cups chopped Broccoli
2 medium Zucchini chopped

I always keep plenty of tomato paste, sauce, and diced tomato cans on hand for soups and sauces.  I can often find great deals on them and I stock up!

So, I started my soup with a couple of cans of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato paste, and a few cans of water (it helps to rise all of the paste out of the can and thin the paste down) in the Slow Cooker .

Then I looked in the fridge to see what veggies I had.  I found Kale, Zucchini, Broccoli, Celery, and Onion – perfect!

So, I chopped up all of the veggies (except the onions) and threw them in the Slow Cooker with the tomato mixture.

I then grabbed a pound of hamburger meat and browned it with the onions – now, I like onions, so I used 2 pretty large ones.

Once that was browned, I added it to the mixture and turned the Slow Cooker on high, and let it cook 8 hours on low – it can be done in much less time on high.

That’s my Low Carb, Hearty, Healthy, Quick And Easy, Slow Cooker Soup Recipe!
