A couple days ago, I made this homemade veggie soup. I'm on a low carb diet, and most canned soups have too many carbs. So, I have to make my soup from scratch.

I used a container of fresh mushrooms, half a large onion, a drained can of wax beans (looks like pasta in the photo), one chopped carrot, 2 chopped celery sticks, a drained can of okra, a can of diced organic tomatoes, a large drained can of chicken, and lots of spices.

The spices included rosemary, marjoram, herbes de provence, basil, thyme, Old Bay Seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.

After putting all the ingredients in a big pot, I poured a large container of chicken broth over it, and added enough water to fill up the pot. It was enough to serve both my big hubby and step-son, with plenty left for me. It's lasted for two days for my lunches!

YUMMY!

Here is another 'trick' recipe to feed someone who refuses to eat: Avgolemono. In 2 cups of chicken broth, add 1 egg beaten with the juice of half a lemon after it has been tempered (you temper the egg so that it does not curdle by adding a cupful of hot chicken stock and beating briskly to bring the egg to the temperature of the broth). Return the tempered egg to the remaining broth, reheat the soup, add small pieces of cooked chicken (you simmered the chicken breast in salted water to make the broth), cooked white rice (you decide on the quantity) and minced flat leaf parsley. Cook on medium low heat until the soup thickens. Voila! Light tasting cream of chicken soup with added proteins and some carbs from the rice ;-P

Two of America's best-loved inspirational speakers share the very best of their collected stories and favorite tales that have touched the hearts of people everywhere. Canfield and Hansen bring you wit and wisdom, hope and empowerment to buoy you through life's dark moments.

It's like homemade chicken soup that warms the chill and heals the ill. This collection of 101 stories is based on the belief that true testimonies of goodness and loving transformations can nourish us to the bone and heal the cynicism in our hearts. Indeed, most every story seeps in deeply. It's hard not to shed a tear of gratitude, feeling thrilled to have been touched and soothed so easily. Some of the authors are famous, such as Dan Millman, who writes an exquisite vignette on "Courage," and Gloria Steinem, who writes of "The Royal Knights of Harlem." Many, however, have a short, simple story to tell about an event, a person, an everyday miracle that exemplifies the best of the human spirit. --Gail Hudson
