I'm not into drugs or weight-loss schemes, as y'all know... if you're hungry, you need to eat something. Well, here is a very healthy appetite suppressant that I whipped up yesterday and am still working on. I've got enough to last the week, and man, this will make you FULL in addition to being very good for you! One bowl of this soup and you won't eat again for the rest of the day (though you'll want to; it's delicious).
1 lb. ground turkey
1 head garlic, peeled and chopped
1/2 head cabbage, chopped
2 or 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup barley
1 can fat-free low-sodium beef broth
3 chicken boullion cubes
1 can spicy V8 juice
In a large saucepan, cook the turkey and garlic until done. Drain into a strainer and get out the excess fat. Return to saucepan. Add cabbage and just enough water to almost cover it. Add remaining ingredients, stir well, and bring to a boil. Cover, turn down heat to medium-low, and simmer for an hour or until barley is cooked. Add or leave out whatever, except for the barley - that's what makes it so filling, and barley is very good for you!
This makes a week's worth of soup.
