Time for Reality Check....Chicken Soup for the Soul!

Chicken Soup for Flavor, Comfort, and for the Soul is always a welcome, whether you are on a diet...or not, but just enjoying  a nice cup, or bowl  of fresh homemade chicken soup!

As you know, I have announced my diet to the whole world, and also mentioned which kind of diet I am pursuing~
Well, I still stick to my WeightWatchers Diet that I lost 35 lbs in 3 months, which was 7 yrs ago, and have gained the weight back...only. because I just did not care, or keep track of what I'm actually eating...and that does add up over months and years...do not fool yourself, because, it does make a difference to keep track of what you are eating!
I think good home made soup is the best therapy for the soul, and also for a healthy DIET! Since I chose Weight Watchers Diet online, this time...knowing my point system, this is the best, of the best chicken noodle soup recipe that I already have been making for years, and years, but you can always revise it!  As long as you have the basic chicken soup (stock recipe) you can always revise it to your liking! The best part of it, this is acceptable on every diet you have decided to join!

Hi Elisabeth, this soup looks so delicious. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe because I am certainly going to make a big pot of it this week. Happy New Year also.

Istenem, micsoda színek! Hát ez tényleg lélekmelengető!:) És a háttérben pázsit meg virágok!!! Bárcsak félméteres hó lenne itt a pázsit helyett, és nem köd, latyak, sár.:(

Beautiful soup! I make chicken/veg soup quite often - we are off carbs, so no noodles (I miss them) just extra chicken in lieu.
I envy you your green grass and flowers :)

Elisabeth soup looks delicious. Glad that you are losing weight, may be it take some time but you can reach the goal.

Katerina said...

Hi Elizabeth, the soup is excellent. I was sick during New Year's Eve and I too made some chicken soup. Good luck with the diet, keep up the good work!

Gizi said...

Csodálatos látvány ez a lélekmelegítő leves!!! Csodálatos képek. További erőt és kitartást a diétázáshoz. Én is két napja finom húslevesen élek, holnap pedig halat készítek. Igaz most éppen korog a gyomrom, és éhes vagyok, na de megyek iszom egy pohár vizet, és majd csak elmúlik.:))

Veronica's Kitchen said...

Hi Elizabeth, I am such a soup person that no matter how full I am, my stomach always has room for some soup but most of the time, I can just have soup as a meal and that will full me up as well. Losing weight has to do with diet, exercise and mental, you're doing great!

Becky said...

Elizabeth, Your soup does look good, and comforting to the soul. Good Luck on wight Watcher's plan. You are off to a good start!

Beth said...

I've been making a lot of soup lately. Yours looks terrific!

What a great and delicious way to start a healthier new year! Thank you for sharing yet another delectable post. I'm exhausted after my first day back from vacation, but happy to be reading your words and seeing your eats! I hope you are doing well, my friend. I'm excited to see how your diet goes!

laurie said...

well that soup looks wonderful, I also lost 35 pounds 3 years ago, I have now officially gained it all back, I have strated back on the weightloss road, did you find your hair became thin losing that much weight so quickly, mine did and theysaid it was becasuue I didn't eat enough protien, I don't see how that can be, good luck to you,, very brave you are, sharing with the world, but it gives you lots of supporters, you still look lovely even with the extra pounds,

Ez a leves színeiben, ízeiben valóban erőt adó testnek és léleknek egyaránt.

Hi Elisabeth! Diet or no diet this soup looks outrageously good to me right now!
I'm loving the papardelle noodles in the soup;-)
Good luck with your healthy diet, I won't tell you the horrible thing I ate last night, feeling sorry for myself because of having dental surgery yesterday!
I promise to follow your example and be good today;-)
