Soup normally doesn’t have a lot of calories but if you buy the permafrost stuff it’s not nearly as filling and has a ton of calories per serving. So I’ve decided to make a soup that per pot, is 816 calories. Which I know seems like a lot but you don’t have to eat it all in one sitting.
One Roma tomatoe *35 calories*
One large white onion *64 calories*
Gold potato *110 calories*
Ground white pepper *7 calories for a teaspoon*
Ground black pepper *around 17 calories per tablespoon*
Chicken broth (you can use vegetable or beef broth if you prefer I only had chicken) ~5 calories per cup~
Ground beef -optional (I used 9.5 ounces) *476 calories*
Mince half the onion, 1/4 of the minced onion should be reserved for meatballs
Slice the round parts of the potato and make them into thin slices
Measure out four cups of the broth, and one of water
Reserved onions should be combined worth the meat and seasoned with salt, the ground peppers. Roll the meat into small balls
Heat a pan and add one table spoon of olive oil when pan is hot, roll oil around pan.
Place the meatballs one by one into the pan, wait for it to sizzle before placing another meatball. (That way there is less oil being absorbed.)
When they brown on one side, use a spoon or spatula to flip them and brown on the other side.
When they are browned on all sides, take them out and place in a bowl. It is okay if there is some pink.
Use a new pot, or just pour the oil and grease out of the pan and use a paper towel to wipe the excess oil. (It is up to you.)
Heat the pan/pot, then place the meatballs.
Slowly, pour in the broth and then the water. By boiling the meatballs, you ensure that they are fully cooked.
Wait a minute or two, then carefully place in the potato slices.
Wait 5 or 7 minutes before placing the tomatoes and onions.
Add any additional spices and cover.
Keep the soup at a low boil and if there is any over boiling, turn it off. Then turn it back on, after it settles, at a lower level.
Let it cook until the potatoes are soft.
You can add more vegetables, spices or substitute the meat. This is just a bare minimum soup that tastes pretty yummy. Serving sizes vary as do the calories per bowl, but per cup it should be around 165.
(Sorry for the lack of pictures of the process, I was too hungry and forget to take some!!)
