Ground Chicken Ginger Miso Soup

Here I am!  I have had a little too much fun food wise since Aprilish.  I went from my lowest weight to one of my highest.  No no no no no not my 202 lbs no no no BUT a well um 14 pound jump from my very lowest weight from 16 months ago.  In all fairness I didn't like my lowest weight.  Who wants to wear a size 2 anyways and live at the gym and next eat a cookie with your kids?  NOT ME!

However I am about 7 pounds above my goal goal maintain weight and I HATE IT.  So here I am back at it in an attempt to fit perfectly back into my size 4/6 and feel GOOD.  That's the most important part.  Not the number on the scale but how I feel in my clothes, in pictures, in my attitude, and most of all I want to feel healthy and stop eating take out pizza once a week.

I started Monday (after Sunday night pizza of course) I am on day 3 today and only 1 pound down which is discouraging.  I have been working out every day and eating as clean as possible and limiting carbs, fat, and sugar.  

I am on a mission because we are taking a family vacay to our GORGEOUS time share in Mazatlan in just a couple weeks.  In hindsight I wish I had booked it in February so I would have had all month to get the 7ish pounds off because it's VERY doubtful I can do that in two weeks.  #CRAP

So with all that being said here is a recipe I came up with the other day.

GROUND CHICKEN GINGER MISO SOUP

1/2 lb. ground chicken breast crumbled and cooked

1 container of Trader Joe's Miso Ginger Broth (regular would work ok but this has more flavor)

1 medium zucchini

8 mushrooms sliced

1/4 cup of cilantro

2 green onions

1/4 of a white onion sliced however you prefer

1 inch of fresh ginger minced

2 celery ribs

3 tbsp low sodium soy

2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

4 dashes of sesame oil

4 dashes of asian hot oil

Mix all together and bring to a low boil then simmer for 30 minutes

I threw this together with what I have next time I want to add cabbage and bok choy

This pot is two servings I divided it evenly into two large bowls.  It's about 3 cups in total for serving and SOOOOOOooooooo filling for that amount of calories.

Top with additional cilantro and green onions if you wish and if you are anything like me... sirracha!

Enjoy!
