Spicy Carrot Soup.

[ferlew]

Currently on a low carb diet, and didn't really want to include potato in my soup, for thickening purposes.
Can anyone suggest a low carb thickener, to replace the potato please, it's a tad thin.
Delicious though. :)

I must be misunderstanding, you're not saying you can't find porridge or beetroot are you?

[ferlew]

I am saying that the book the Gym gave me (their own publication) is USA oriented, and a lot of 'our' foodstuffs are not in it, but lots of 'theirs' is.
Need to find something a bit more informative, and more "English".

I ought to add, this is only a 40 page publication. So there is bound to be something more in depth. Might ask at the library.

Is the book for carb counting?
Porridge would most likely be oats or oatmeal.

[ferlew]

Ahhh, can you recommend a decent book Pastafreak, please, one more UK based?

Bbcgoodfood has a great carrot and lentil soup. Goes down a treat in our house. Sorry don't know how to post links.

This might be useful...just type in the food and it gives the carbs. You can use it for totals in meals/recipes.

If you prefer a book,I think the Collins ones are good.

Exactly what I needed, thank you Pastafreak :)

Dilute the soup with water or broth. Or better yet, add 1/2 can of coconut milk! It will be both creamy and tasty!

I use tomato puree to thicken soups,stews and currys.
