Vegetable's Soup

I read two articles which were pretty interesting, one was forwarded by a dear friend and the other I found in one of my favorite news sites.
If you like your food hot and if you really would like to add that extra chilly pepper this news is for you "How spicy foods can kill cancers." Looks like pretty soon we might be eating farmed fish from a Sea near by don't know if this is a good or a bad development. In a way it would give the over fished fish stock a break but what about the environmental damages of farming fish in seas?

Vegetable's Soup
Now on to my soup. Soups are a wonderful when you want to cut carbs and during the winter months nothing better to warm your insides. It is a good soup to make at the end of the week when you only have a few number of all the different veggies but quiet not enough for making a full dish but just enough for making soup.

  1. The soup looks too good, like an egg drop soup
    You are sincerely doing your carb cutting. This weekend we gorged so much on sweets that stopped counting the carbs

  2. Hi ISG, your vegetable soup sounds delicious. Never heard of the liquid amino product. Sounds healthier than soy sauce. Thanks for sharing!

  9. The soup reminded me of the hot and sour soup back home. Nice one. With my throat sore, I have been on soup last few days, so this is welcome.
