hCG Chili Lime Tomato Soup w/Shrimp

hCG Chili Lime Tomato Soup w/Shrimp

I took 2 Roma tomatoes, diced them, and boiled them in 3 cups of water with some rough chopped fresh basil. I seasoned *liberally!* <------ even more so because there is no meat to flavor it with -- with salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and chili powder. I let it cook down to about 2 cups then I took a potato masher and "smushed" it, making a chunky soup. After putting in a bowl, I threw in my cooked shrimp (seasoned with garlic and lime and pan fried in Pam) and squeezed some fresh lime. VERY tasty!

Two types of main-dish fish: Ginger teriyaki glazed (wild) salmon (7.5 points), Lemon White Wine sauce baked (farmed) tilapia (5.5 points).

Recipes for the marinade & glaze below.

Whisk all the ingredients together, baste over salmon on both sides, bake at 350 until desired doneness. TOTAL: Approximately 7.5 points per serving.

Lemon White Wine sauce for tilapia: 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (0 pts), 1/4 cup dry white wine (3 pts), 1 tbsp. garlic powder (0 pts), 1 tsp. dried parsley (0 pts), 2 tbsp. melted light butter (2 pts), salt & pepper to taste (0 pts), four 8-oz pieces of tilapia (4 pts ea.) Whisk all ingredients together. Place tilapia in a baking dish and cover with the sauce. Bake at 350 until flaky. TOTAL: Approximately 5 points per serving.
