Kim's Pot of Yum

Have you ever just "winged" something...and as it is coming together, you just KNOW that it is going to be good? This is what I'm experiencing right now and it's why I feel like this --> laughing-smiley! Ya know, it's still okay to get excited about food after having weight loss surgery! It's just different. Instead of getting thrilled over the fact that my frozen chicken nuggets cook for the same time and temp as my tater tots (seriously...back in the day, I got giddy over something like that). I get excited about healthy good for my body food!

Pot of Yum
Chopped yellow onion
4 Whole Cloves Garlic
10 oz bag cremini mushrooms
10 oz bag baby carrots
Sautee the above ingredients in a tablespoon of olive oil
(I remove the garlic...don't digest it well! If you like garlic, chop it up and leave it in)

Add one Jennie-O LEAN Turkey Smoked Sausage (14 oz link) chopped in half inch cubes
Two Cups of Bob's Red Mill Dried Vegetable Soup Mix (full of lentils, dried veggies, barley, etc)
5 T good chili powder mix (I used Granny's Spicy)
1 large can of chopped fire roasted tomatoes
4 C low sodium beef broth
2 C water

Simmer for an hour.

One hour later Kim writes:
Oh man! Call it what you want,but I'm still gonna call it a Pot of Yum. I'm sitting here...loving every bite as my nose sniffles from the spice! That Granny makes a wicked blend of Chili Powder! Celadon, feel free to use it in the cookbook. The only thing that I added was a teaspoon of salt. Oh, and the baby carrots were a 12 oz bag. Do you need the Bob's Red Mill info to run the numbers? I'd be happy to provide it!
