September 5, 2014 vegetable soup recipe

Lets start with how bad i have been I just can't seem to get out of vacation mode eating. We started a weightloss challenge in my office there just happened to be a scale hanging out. I have 30 days to win  $100 I am heavier than everyone else and I put on vacation weight so I should have the best chance of winning you would think that would motivate me but I am still succumbing to the cravings. Dinner has been good that soup lasted me until yesterday and it was nice to know dinner was just waiting for me when I came home. I did start doing T25 workouts this week again and since i am running a challenge group that really should motivate me my big belly hanging out should motivate me too. In the end I have lots of things to motivate me but I still struggle. So the next soup is cooking right now I forgot to add any fat to it the last one was a little bland I added more spices this time as I didn't have any stock. If it turns out its going to be one very healthy soup.

Vegetable soup maker soup
1/2 red onion chopped
1 apple roughly chopped
2 carrots roughly chopped
1 sweet potato roughly chopped
I didnt' have any ginger but i had some left over gingerale a quarter cup I added that
add spices (I added dried herbs, salt, pepper, and chili flakes) use whatever you want.
add to soup maker and press smooth button.

Have to wait another 16 minutes to see the final product its starting to smell really good in here.

Ready

okay not bad still a little bland and needs some more flavour. Lets see what adding some fat and not so healthy ingredients will do.

 I added about half this container of cream

and some cheese a piece half the size of what is showing in the picture
and now

So delicious if your vegan its still a prett good soup without the cheese and cream but its delicious with it. So satisfying.
