Recipe
Preparation
Prepare the herb broth: Place all ingredients in a saucepan with 5
cups of water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10 to
15 minutes. Strain before using.
To make the soup: In a heavy-bottomed soup pot, saute onion and leek
in olive oil until translucent. Add chopped tomato. In a mortar and
pestle, pound the sun-dried tomatoes with their liquid to a paste,
then add to the pot with the sugar. Continue cooking over a
moderately high heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, grated
orange zest, and mint, and cook another 2-3 minutes. Gradually add
the herb broth, cover, then allow soup to simmer for 30-45 minutes
longer. (Soup may be prepared ahead of time up to this point.)
In a bowl, mix together yogurt and flour until smooth. Gradually add a
spoonful of hot soup, stirring contantly. Add another spoonful of
soup, then slowly add yogurt mixture to soup pot, stirring all the
while. Continue cooking soup over a gentle heat, stirring, being
careful not to let mixture curdle.
Adjust seasonings, then add the fresh parsley. Serve immediately. Ms.
Jacobs suggests fresh crusty bread, a green salads, olive and feta
cheese as suitable accomaniments.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting tips
If you wish to become slim and boost your all round health, then, as any dietician will tell you, you really should eat a thoughtfully calculated sensible daily routine. At best, this should include five measures of grains and vegetables each day and also incorporate the right mix of important nutrients.
Some reduced carbohydrate diet tips:
* Know what is in your food
Don't believe food packaging that boasts 'low carb' - check the real nutritional information on the back of the tin or packet. A good number of are only marginally less and in some instances still more than a competitors usual brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' does not always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are identical.
* Don't ignore the fiber
Reducing the carbs in your diet usually results in reduction in fiber also. Look at reduced carb recipes that are rich in fiber to restore the balance.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, onions and spring onions)
The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is too little scientific proof available, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce problems with blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and insomnia.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so make sure you add them to your diet system.
