Some soups make a meal, and this one certainly qualifies. You may substitute shrimp for the chicken in the soup if you want to try something different, but it’s still a substantial dish.
The recipe is from “The South Beach Diet Quick and Easy Cookbook” by Arthur Agatston ($27.95), a new collection of about 200 recipes that come with the promise they can all be made in 30 minutes or less.
Besides the cooking time given with each recipe, for many cooks the more important details will be the nutrition analyses that let people keep control of what they eat, according to individual needs.
This cookbook has some general information on diet and nutrition, then a selection of recipes ranging from old favorites – chicken pot pie, rice pudding – to stylish: crispy trout with lemon-caper sauce, chocolate berry cups.
Cook’s tip: Cilantro lovers can chop up some of the fresh herb and use it sprinkled over this soup, if desired.
