    After reading Saffire's soup recipe, it occurred to me that I've never
    posted my quickie emergency low carb soup recipe.

    This turns out to be surprisingly good and so easy to make it's ridiculous.

    TWO SERVINGS:
    1 can chicken broth.
    2 tbs Stop & Shop medium Salsa (the chunky kind with the very occasional
    corn and beans in it.) If you don't like spice, use the "mild" version.
    Cut up strips of romaine lettuce
    Leftover cooked meat cut into strips.
    sliced mushrooms (if you have some on hand)

    Boil in a pot on the stove for about 5 minutes and enjoy. A bit of
    Parmesan sprinkled on top is nice, too.

    This comes out tasting like a spicy vegetable soup. The tomato, beans,
    onion and corn from the salsa give it a nice chunky soup texture without
    contributing enough carbs to raise my blood sugar at all. It's somewhere
    between 3 or 4 per serving. The romaine makes a surprisingly nice soup
    vegetable.

    that works.

    On top of soup, on side, or mixed in? Perhaps it can be cooked with soup?

    Sounds GREAT, Jenny! You also reminded me that I had some romaine that
    I meant to use, but forgot about -- I didn't know how I would like it in
    a soup, so I'm glad to have confirmation that it should be fine.

    Saffire,

    Someone posted years ago here about using romaine in soup and I've been
    doing it ever since. Works great and is a good use of romaine that is
    losing it's crunch after being in the fridge too long.

    Spinach is also wonderful in soup.

    I was watching FoodTV 30 min and she made a BLT frittata and used arugula
    which I don't like. I wondered if Romaine would work?
    What's everybody thought on this?

    Sure. I look at recipes as a jumping off place, they all are amenable to
    substitutions.
