Cuban Garlic Soup Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and
1 crushed
1 slice cuban or french bread
1 egg
1 salt and freshly ground
1 pepper to taste
1 tsp parsley, minced
2 tsp queso blanco, hard, grated
Recipe
Preparation
Bring the chicken broth to a boil. In a small skillet, heat the oil.
Add the garlic and saute until golden and aromatic. Place the bread
in a large soup bowl, pour the oil and garlic over it, add the
boiling chicken broth, and immediately break the egg into the soup.
It will cook in 2 to 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper, and sprinkle
with parsley and cheese.
NOTE: There are dozens of quesos blanco, or white cheeses, which is
exactly how the name translates. Some are soft, some fresh, but many
aged. Queso blanco generally mild flavored, though some of the aged
ones can be quite tangy. They are found in markets in Florida and in
most cities with colonies of residents of Caribbean, Cuban, or
Mexican ancestry. Try the cheeses and choose the one that suits your
taste.

Some low carb diet guidlines:
* Food labels can be misleading
Watch out for sales blurb that boasts 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the product. Quite a few are only marginally decreased and in some instances still more than a competitors standard brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identical.
* You can create really good smoothies with reduced carbohydrate yogurt.
Ok, well, it’s not technically cooking, but if you really want smoothies you can make them with low carb yogurt and fruit. Obviously, you will need to ensure you use only fruit that is low in carbohydrates and use the whole fruit as the fiber will help.
