Ideal Protein Vegetable Crab Soup Phase 1

 Ideal Protein is a weight loss program that Harry and I are using to help us get that "Covid" weight off. It works really well for us. It is basically a Low Carb, Low Fat, Low/ No sugar plan. There are 3 phases, and we are on phase one until we reach our goals. The plan requires you to eat their supplied meals for Breakfast and Lunch,( incorporate 2 cups of allowed veggies at lunch) and evening snack. Dinner consists of 4-6 oz of protein for women, and 6-8 for men, and 2 cups of  allowed veggies. There are unlimited veggies, and select veggies which are limited to 4 cups a week. 

1 package of Ideal Protein Tomato Basil Soup, make according to directions.

To it add 1/2 to 1 cup of cooked cauliflower rice, and 1/2 to 1 whole can of drained Bumblebee drained crab meat. Also Old bay to taste. I use about a teaspoon . Let it simmer on low for a few minutes to allow the flavors of the crab and Old Bay to bloom. This is a recipe I put together one day when it was rainy and cold, and I just needed soup. We feel it was a success!  

NOTE: You can only purchase this through an Ideal Protein Center, or on line through Biointelligentwellness.com . However there are products very similar to Ideal Protein products that you can order from Amazon called " Wonderslim" and they also have a tomato soup to offer. There is also a site called " Diet Direct" that also carries this product.  Some of the macros are different, but they are pretty much the same as Nutrasystem, Jenny Craig, Optiva, etc. And they are at a much lower cost.
