Today for lunch I made null soup again. I was home alone since John had to work today which means I got to eat the whole thing myself. This morning I had half of a bagel with a little faux butter. Not eating protein at breakfast means that I am going to be extra-hungry at lunch time. But those halves of bagels had been tempting me all week every time I looked in the freezer. Better to eat one and get it out of my system. So since about 10 o’clock I had been thinking about lunch. A great way to fill up without doing damage is to make a vegetable soup. Today mine consisted of chicken broth, rutabaga, carrot, celery, mushrooms, cabbage, green onions and parsley. I also had two thin slices of black forest ham with mustard on a sandwich round. Hopefully this lunch will keep me out of the refrigerator until dinner time.

The reason I call this fast food is because I turn on the broth to heat, add the vegetables in order of length of cooking time, make my sandwich while the soup is simmering, eat my sandwich and work on a sudoku, and by then, the soup is done.
