Turkey Scotch Broth
A warming Scotch broth style soup made with leftover turkey, homemade stock, barley, and winter vegetables. This comforting family recipe is naturally balanced, deeply nourishing, and perfect for using up holiday leftovers in a simple, traditional way.
Hungarian Goulash
This low-carb version of Hungarian goulash delivers a hearty, savoury meal with protein options from traditional chunky beef to lean ground beef or chicken. Ideal for On-Protocol weeks in The Balanced Burn program, it omits potatoes but keeps classic flavours. For Maintenance, enjoy with crusty bread and richer meats, with options to boost protein or add greens for extra nutrition.
Tortilla Soup
This is one of the most-requested meals around our house, and has stood up well in comparison with tortilla soups we’ve had at multiple local Mexican restaurants, and with the ones we’ve had in Mexico. Is already gluten-free, and can be made dairy-free and vegan quite easily.
Carrot Soup (AKA Potage Crécy)
Adapted from James Peterson’s excellent book, “Splendid Soups”, this is one of our household’s favourite soups.
It’s quite a versatile base soup that allows for some very easy to implement flavour variations with different spices added when cooking, or garnishes or stir-ins when serving.
While the rice or potatoes included in the recipe may preclude it from being a good fit for On-Protocol weeks in The Balanced Burn, it is a great option for Maintenance and everyday eating as a starter or as part of your meal alongside some lean protein and other sides.
Lentil, Quinoa & Greens Soup
This recipe is a hybrid of a few different ones from across the internet, and can be made vegan or dairy-free by substituting coconut oil or vegetable oil for the ghee / clarified butter and using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Packed with protein from the quinoa and lentils, and very tasty with a little spicy kick from curry powder and chili flakes, this soup is a definite winner! Even got the stamp of approval from my usually pretty picky eater, Kira. :)
