Rutabegas, Turnips, Parsnips, Leeks, Carrots (But we can't have them) Also not sure we can have the others too. Chop up cabbage in a chicken broth and wall la Cabbage Soup. I also make Ground Beef Meatballs and boil them in the water and broth before hand. But with the Meatballs you need eggs and breadcrumbs. I would just add some good vegetables to the cabbage and enjoy...
Bet a Medifast friendly version could be cooked up....hmmm....weekend is coming....anyone up for experimenting? LOL!.
I know in "regular" cooking soy flour and water can be substituted for egg in recipes....I did it in a cheesecake once and a lasagna and both turned out excellent..
Turkey ground for the balls...could work.
No carrots.
I'll look up the other veggies......
I'm investigating...this may be my project for the weekend...creating a recipe! I'll let you know what I find out...I like to do this kind of thing LOL!.
Now, I'm not familiar with the restaurants mentioned though, I must admit.... but I'll give it a try!..
Weight Watchers has a good one that I've made often. I don't have the recipe with me, but you could find it on the WW website - it's kind of "famous." No calories to speak of, and very filling. Good stuff!..
Actually to correct an above post, we can have turnips according to the TSFL sheets. I haven't had any yet but am looking forward to it one day! I totally forgot about the WW zero point soup... my Mom makes a veggie soup and the best part IMO is the cabbage! LOVE it...
Found the recipe. You'd have to leave out carrots.
