Flax Soup
This recipe sort of just "happened". A member of my family has been put on a low-cholesterol diet by his doctor. While making a recipe of chicken nuggets from the book Healthy and Hearty Diabetic Cooking. While making this, I ended up with about a quart of clear, low-fat chicken broth. Endeavoring to include plenty of fiber in our diet, as well as using what I had on hand, I made this soup. It was delicious!
