SPANISH CHICKEN SOUP  (This one is my favorite)!

3.5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 Can Diced Canned Tomato's (sugar free, low sodium)
1 Jalapeno
1-2T Cilantro (depending on taste, but use at least 1)
1-2 t Garlic Salt
1 Green Onion (may omit) use 1t onion powder if omitting
1T Apple Cider Vinegar
1t Lemon Juice
6 drops Lemon Stevia
1C Beef Broth
1C Water

In small pot add beef broth, water, chicken, jalapeno (put two knife slits in pepper) and garlic salt

Remove pepper after about 5 minutes or taste broth to make sure it just has a little flavor of jalapeno. Cook chicken through and remove from broth, let cool and shred with fingers.

Put tomatoes, cilantro, and a 1-3 inch piece of the pepper in blender pulse until creamy

Add puree to broth and simmer a few minutes over med heat. Lower heat to med-low, add chicken, green onion, lemon juice, stevia and vinegar.

CREAMY ZUCCHINI SOUP
 
(can substitute spinach for zucchini)
~One Filling Serving~

about 1/4 cup chopped videlia onion
2 T of minced garlic
Saute in an nonstick skillet with a little bit of chicken broth (1/4 cup)-it will evaporate so stay close-
Cook until almost carmelized

Slice one zucchini (about 1 1/2 cups sliced) and chop in blender with just enough chicken broth (1/4 cup) to make blender work.

Pour into skillet with cooked garlic and onion set aside

In empty blender-(just rinse it out) add 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese (not original protocol may omit) with about 1/2 cup chicken broth and blend until liquid.

Pour this also into the skillet and cook on med-high until a lot of broth is evaporated.

Put back in the blender and blend until thick and 'creamy'. Salt and pepper to taste.

OMG, this is divine. I know it will work for spinach too.

EGG DROP SOUP
*Note: Some people use eggs on original protocol, it was originally vegetarian diet only. I have used with no issues as a protein. (3 white, 1 whole = 1 serving)

2 cups of fat free organic chicken broth or veg. broth (or 1 cup broth and 1 cup water)
dash of garlic powder - to your taste & liking
2 tsp. Braggs Liquid Amino Acids
3 drops of Tabasco (may omit)
salt/pepper to taste
3 egg whites + 1 whole egg
Green onions, thin slices of green section

In a small sauce pan, bring broth/water, Braggs, spices & Tabasco to a boil. While waiting for boil, whisk eggs together quickly until fluffy. Once broth boils, pour eggs into saucepan and cook for another minute. Pour immediately into a bowl and serve - garnish with green onions. 
1 Protein, 1 Veg

THAI CHICKEN CURRY SOUP
*note not original protocol

100g chicken breast sliced thinly
2 cups chicken broth
1 Tbs green or yellow curry paste (more or less if you like)
2 Tbs fish sauce (omit for original)
1 Tbs Splenda
1 cup broccoli slaw (replace with protocol veggie for original)
1tsp Sambal Oelek (chili paste) *Omit if you don't like it spicy*
2 tsp coconut extract/flavoring
Juice of half a lime
Cilantro for garnish

In a saucepan combine chicken broth with curry paste. Dissolve and cook for 2-3 min. Stir in fish sauce, Splenda and chili paste. Add chicken and poach for ~5 min. Add broccoli slaw, continue to stir over med heat for another 2-3 min. - just until slaw is not raw anymore (should still be crunchy). Turn off heat and stir in coconut extract and lime juice. Pour into a large bowl, garnish with lime and cilantro. Note* - if you want more broth, you can add some hot water to make it stretch. This also works really well with shrimp!

TOMATO PEPPER POT
*Note: Use only tomato and onion powder for original protocol

1/2 red onion (you can use yellow but I like the color of purple in the soup)

Cut these up into 1/2” chunk and saute on med-high heat in 1 tsp mct or coconut oil in a big soup pot until the onion becomes soft. (you can also use chicken broth) Add…

1 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth, I use range-free organic chicken broth)

1 8 oz can diced tomatoes

Bring to a boil, then add…

1/2 cabbage cut into wide strips. Stir and bring to a boil once again. Then turn off heat, let sit for 5 minutes and serve. The cabbage will still be a bit crunchy, which is delightful.

Some might not consider this protocol for phase2 because you are combining tomatoes and cabbage. Use your own discretion.
