The soup...and how to make it better

[charl101112]

Hey all

Just tried the chicken soup for the first time.

Received some good advice to mix it with cold water first then microwave it.

But I wanted to know if it's ok to add pepper to it? No salt, obviously. Will pepper upset ketosis?

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere.

Any tips greatly appreciated, got 10 more of these to contend with this week haha!

I couldn't stomach them without either black pepper or dried chilli flakes. I know you're not meant to add anything but it really didn't do my losses any harm at all.
Good luck x

hi there had my first soup last night thought it was ok . i put pepper in mine . a doctor were i work was on it and lost 3 stone in 8 weeks and he had salt and pepper in it to make it taste better. but not sure if thats ok or not sorry

Thanks, I'll give black pepper a go tonight

ooh chili flakes too hehe

I use curry powder or chilli flakes and black pepper to spice mine up and sometimes even use a sprinkle of tarragon to add flavour. I know LT says to add nothing but my losses don't seem to have suffered and anything to make it more palatable has got to be good so long as you still lose weight! Good luck x

Anyone else had exploding Soup?? lol I put mine into my blender with hot water and pressed the go button, it spurted through the hole in the top and went all over the kitchen!! oops!! must be something to do with heat and pressure!! I'm not that clever to work it out!!hehe!!

but on a mixing note - I've noticed that blending it in my blender with cold and then heating it in the microwave makes it alot creamier!!

How much water do you all mix with it? I mix about 400 mls

Last night I had it with about 350ml but felt it was a bit runny.

Got another one for my lunch and dinner today so plenty to experiment with haha.

I shall let you know how I fare with the added flavours!

I always use 300ml boiling water and mix it with a hand blender, it's never lumpy and really yummy

Just tried soup again, 300 ml cold water, 2 mins in microwave and added a small sprinkling of garlic pepper. It was actually very nice and really enjoyable.

Hope it doesn't affect the 100% TFR. Can't see as it will, we'll see!

Don't laugh but I emailed Lipotrim to check...they say pepper is a berry therefore it is better not to add it to the soup as it can interfere. Oh well, the one nice soup is going to be a distant memory.
