This is delicious !!!!!! Thank-you Margo !
In a large pot heat 2 tbsp veg oil.
Add 1 cup chopped onion, 1 cup chopped red pepper, 2 cloves of minced garlic and saute until soft
Add 1 cup of wild or brown rice, 4 cups of vegetable stock( you can make it from a cube or envelope with boiling water), 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes and simmer 45 mins or until rice is soft.
Whisk in 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter until well blended then simmer another 5 mins. If it is too thick add water.
Correct seasonings if necessary. Sprinkle with thyme(opt) and serve
Variation:If you do not want starchy carbs omit the rice and add 1 cup of chopped celery and 1 cup chopped carrots. I make a big pot this way and freeze portions then add cooked rice to it if I want the starchy carbs at that time.
Yummy!!!!

Bring stock/broth to a boil, add mushrooms, simmer 3 minutes. Mix miso and soy sauce together and add to broth mixture. Over very low heat, add the tofu until all ingredients in soup are warm. DO NOT boil. You can add the scallions directly into the broth, or use as a garnish in soup bowl. Submitted by Freida Perry.
 This is a delicious Japanese soup. Miso has a very pleasant taste.
Miso is a naturally fermented soybean and brown rice macrobiotic food. Miso is found in the health food section of many main supermarkets.

Oh my !!! This soup is so easy and quick. I hope you try it.
- 12-14 med shrimp
- patak’s original mild curry paste
- 1-2 cups broccoli
- 1-2 cups spinach
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Spray skillet with pam.
- Stir fry shrimp till 1/2 cooked
- Add 2 tsp paste. Finish cooking. Remove from pan
- In pan on med heat add 1/2 cup chicken broth , 1 cup broccoli (cut in bite size pieces) and 1 cup spinach. Simmer till veggies are cooked as you like them.
- Add 1 cup 1% milk (or skim if you prefer) and cooked shrimp.
- Heat
This makes 1 serving, unless it is a starter to a meal. I like to add extra of the veggies. If you like it hotter add more paste at the end. If its too hot, add more milk.
The 2nd time I made this, I also added green and yellow beans to get more veggies at supper.
This receipe is great at suppertime especially when you don’t want carbs.
