No. They'll be nice and firm in your mouth. (Can we say that in a family
NG?)

You can say anything you want. Expect someone to
be offended, though. Imagine that.

Sausage Soup Olé by MarieAnn

1 lb. smoked sausage(cut in 1 in. slices, or diced, as you prefer) 12
1 can(14-15 oz.)stewed tomatoes 27-4=23
1 can(14-15 oz.) sliced or diced tomatoes in juice 14
1 can(15-16 oz.)pinto beans, undrained 65-20=45 You can use black soy
beans and reduce the carbs here to 1 net carb..
1 can(14 oz.) chicken broth
1/2 of a medium head of cabbage, chopped fairly large 25-10=15
1 Tbs. chili powder 4-3=1
(2 tsp. sugar or substitute) 8 if used
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 0
1 medium size onion,chopped 9-2=7
2 cloves garlic, minced 1

TOTAL 168-39=129, makes approx 3 quarts, 6 2-cup servings. Per serving
426 cals, 29 g fat, 21 net carbs-14 with the soy beans, 17 g protein.

Put all ingredients in soup pot. This will look to thick to be soup, but
will become less thick as cabbage cooks down. Lower heat and simmer from 30
to 60 minutes, depending on how soft you prefer your cabbage.

This one's a keeper. Thanks !

Huh. My monotonous diet of mac & cheese, ramen noodles, chicken
nuggets, and french fries was how I got fat. Now I've got more variety
with all the different kinds of meat and vegetables.

I think I read somewhere there's something in having smaller portions of
more complex flavors that makes you feel full faster than a big dish of
all the same flavor. It tricks the brain somehow.

I've discovered a whole new and wonderful world of foods I'd never tried
before, just out of sheer boredom I think! I like it. :-)

Yeah.

My face will be too sore to chew!

Felt like my cheeks were bruised... :-P

What all do _you_ do with Black Soy Beans?

I use them in place of other beans as a direct substitute.

So I make hummus, bean soup, Cuban-style black beans, non-Texas-style
chili with beans, Cincinnati-style 5-way chili, baked beans with ham
hocks, bean salads...

Any bean recipe...

Looks like it's time to do more research then, thanks!
Due to the starch (and fart factor), I'd never been much of a bean
eater... even tho' I like them.

Black soy beans lack the starch (soups made with them won't get thick)
and the oligosaccharides (complex sugars that intestinal flora digest
and convert part of to gases) that cause the tuba-like expressions.

They are still high in fiber tho', but you are right. They are not
producing a significant amount of gas.


Om (off to do some googling and learn more about bean recipes!)

...and they really are good for your heart...

How so?
THAT I can use!

Exactly!!!
My diet is much more interesting now, as well as being higher in fiber.
:-)

IMHO fiber is what makes you feel "full" on less food and fewer calories!

Fiber removes cholesterol from your digestive system, it says here on
the bean box.

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, given the present noise to signal
ratio.



gag I know what you mean...
Especially lately!

I'm just generous with my use of filters. :-P
