Thank you, Carrot and Coriander Soup!
I made a great Indian-style chicken dish for dinner tonight. Only three ingredients, too! 300 grams of raw chicken breast cubed and browned in nonstick pan; 1 red pepper cut in strips and sauteed in a little water; to that I added one packet of this kick-butt soup as the sauce. VERY quick, and very easy. I made a portion-controlled rice and lentil pilau, microwaveable in a pouch (contains 2.5 servings which is enough for us and two picky eaters). The rice/lentil pilau is a bit spicy, and the carrot coriander soup/sauce spices really meshed well with it.
With the rice, it worked out to 225 calories per serving...add in the butternut squash and snow peas for about 100 more and we had a yummy dinner all around. (Yes, I know the vegetables didn't match the entree, but in our quest to make the kids *less* picky, we try to offer at least one thing we know they WILL eat on the plate.)
Right now I'm willing to pay a bit more for portion control, until it's more internalized (especially for carbs, which are my Achilles heel), so the nukeable rice packet works well. Plus it was low in calories and fat and HIGH in fiber, baby...
