caterina cacciatore

skaterina wishes to lose five pounds and i am charged with creating meals and/or sustenance that meet certain requirements on a point system

the very very vegie bisque is 0 ZERO points

plus has Lots of Fiber

this particular bisque was made thusly "

several carrots cut into chunks
several stalks of celery chunked
some sweet onion cut up
finocchio / known as sweet anise or fennel / in thick slices

for flavor enhancement braise some of the vegetables in olive oil on top of the stove and then stick undr the broiler for browning

chop the other vegetables in a food processor / saute them in butter/oo until softened / add a quart of chicken broth and simmer for 20 minutes

add the braised and broiled vegetables to the pot

seasonings ? yes

couple big spoonfulls of tomato/garlic jam
salt . pepper . three of the four C's ; some cayenne . coriander . cinnamon

cool enough to put through blender / keep some chunky if you want

well this was so Very Very Vegie that i threw in a can of lite coconut milk

added some points but WTF

it's not cream !
