Standard Process Purification Program- Day 8

First let me start off by saying that I will never eat Tomato Soup at a restaurant or out of a can ever again. Over the weekend I made the recipe I found last Thursday and it was AMAZING! I encourage all of you to try it…you will not be disappointed. Of course I never follow the directions on a recipe exact so I again improvised a few items. I used water instead of Vegetable Stock, I didn’t use the crushed red pepper flakes (I’m not big on spicy), I used enough Extra Virgin Olive Oil to only coat the plum tomatoes, I used Organic Fire Roasted Tomatoes instead of just plain canned plum tomatoes, and honestly I didn’t really know what a food mill was (I had to look it up) so I put the soup in the blender (in batches) to make it the consistency I wanted. And it worked just great! I will be enjoying this soup for days to come.

Day 8 is here! Only 2 weeks left to go! Congratulations! Today you should have finished up taking the last of your SP Cleanse capsules and moved onto the SP Green Food. I think you will like taking the SP Green Food since you only take 5 capsules 2 times per day…it seems like nothing compared to the first 7 days.

This week I hope to conquer my fear of…Lentils. I have two packages sitting in my pantry that stare at me every time I open the door (that I just either ignore or move from one side to the other to justify my buying them). I have not had much success with lentils even though I have only tried to make them once. Actually, I have never had any dish fail as bad as my lentils (except my Chicken Cacciatore that burned in the crock pot…yes I said burned in the crock pot…another story for another date). So I went onto my beloved Food Network and found this recipe for Alton Browns Lentil Soup. In my mind he is a genius when it comes to food…so this has to be good, right? I’ve had the Lentil discussion with several patients and they make it seem so easy to cook these little round legume seeds, but I fear them! So, if I get a chance to make Lentil Soup this week I’ll let you know how it turned out.
