The Ketchup is a wonderful surprise,

it really is better than Heinz!!

It's GRRRRREAT, like Tony the tiger says!!!

Hope everyone is good today.

Hugs and kisses to all.

No cheating on your low carb journey!!

oh, don't be afraid to make this,
I had all the ingredients already,
you probably do too.
You don't even have to cook it,
just mix with a spoon.

EVEN BETTER "HEINZ" KETCHUP

8 ounce can tomato sauce *
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons white vinegar
3 tablespoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/16 teaspoon allspice
1/16 teaspoon ground cloves
1/16 teaspoon cinnamon
1/16 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix all of the ingredients well. Optional but recommended (see my update below): simmer, covered, for 20-30 minutes. Cool then chill before serving. Keep refrigerated.

The recipe for the soup is from fatsecret:

http://fatsecret.com/recipes/cabbage-and-tomato-soup/Default.aspx

• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp salt
• 2 cubes chicken stock
• 2 cups shredded cabbage
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped or sliced tomatoes
• 2 tbsps tomato paste
• 4 cups water

Directions

1. Dice onion.
2. Shred cabbage.
3. Add diced tomatoes.
4. Add tomato paste.
5. Add water.
6. Add stock cubes and salt and pepper to taste.
7. Bring to boil and cook for one hour.

I added:

2 cups of frozen okra and
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
and 1/2 teaspoon butter
brought it all to a boil, turned heat down to simmer,
and cooked about 1 hour.

If you wanted, this would be a good base to add chicken or beef to.
I love soup and am always looking for new recipes that are low carb.
