I was putzing around the natural grocer and I found 2 soups with less than 1 carb per serving. Chicken broth and mushroom broth. I bought 'em and took them home to play with. I lightly whipped up about 1/2 cup heavy cream and used the suggested serving size of soup, and voila! I had creamy soups (which made for some pretty good, if a bit runny, sauces too)!
With the cold weather coming, I've been looking for some nice rich soups and sauces to snuggle up with on those icky days and I think I've found my bases for them. I'm planning on messing with them again and adding chicken to the chicken cream and beef to the mushroom cream and maybe some onions to both (and more stuff as I think of it).
Just thought I'd share! If you guys want to know the brand names, holler. They're at home so I can post them tonight if anybody is interested.
