Why This Recipe Works for Blood Sugar Balance
Most soups either have too much carbs or not enough protein. We fixed that with this high-protein PCOS-Approved, meatball soup. We have harnessed the power of fiber in the bean based pasta, kidney beans and vegetables to help you feel full longer. We also have increased protein not just with the meatballs, but by selecting a bone broth base instead of just a stock. Bone broth delivers gut healing minerals as well as protein, something a typical stock is missing.
Why This Recipe Works in Your Kitchen
Cooking pasta that will go in a soup makes an extra pan dirty. I am all for efficiency my friend. However, if you just throw the noodles into the soup to cook it will soak up all the yummy broth. Whenever I make a soup with noodles, I always cook noodles separately AND STORE THEM SEPARATELY TOO!
That way you don’t have leftovers of super mushy noodles in barely any broth. Trust me in this process. This soup broth is going to taste even better the next day, don’t ruin it with mushy noodles. You’ll thank me for this tip at some point. I’ll be waiting on my corner of the internet for that virtual high-five.
