Reflux friendly soup......

We make chicken soup from chicken stock but I can't tolerate it unless it's thickened - usually add potato and root veg and use a blender.

When I was eating meat I made a ground beef soup which was pretty awesome.

1/2 lb ground beef (500g)
1 onion
a little olive oil
carrots to taste (I usually used about 5)
potatoes to taste (I usually used about 6)
celery to taste (I usually used a bunch including the leaves... I love celery)
5 dl (about 3 cups, or as much as you want) water
5 vegetable bouillon cubes (again, depending on taste)
thyme
bay leaf
salt
pepper

Brown the onion and ground beef in a little olive oil (good for your tummy) in a big soup pot. Drain the beef (too much fat hurts my stomach, personally) and add it back to the pot. Then add the water and bouillon cubes (however many you want. I usually add 5). Add your herbs. Chop up your veggies and then add them and boil until they are tender, usually about 30-45 mins. Delicious and gentle on the tum-tum.

Good luck!

Good quality stock is the key to good soup. Buy the kind in a box, not a can - it is better. Start by sauteeing equal parts of onion, celery and carrot until soft, use onion powder if onions are a trigger for you. Add whatever spices and vegetables you like: parsley, thyme and cumin are good, also some garlic powder. Beans are the lowest in fat, but smaller quantities of meat or fowl are fine if you like. Winter squash adds nice flovor and creaminess without fat. Potatoes and turnips thicken the stock nicely. There are tons of recipes online, just google "soup recipe and" any ingredients you like, and something will come up. I usually include some swiss chard for a leafy green vitamin kick, but spinach and kale are also very good, though kale is a little more bitter.
