Chicken Noodle Soup Diabetic Dude Style!

I went to the doctor today, and she asked why my blood sugars have been spiking so much. I explained to her that currently we are trying to save money so I have resorted to the dollar menu and burger king...

This did not go over well at all, first she looked at me like I was a tad crazy, then she kind of shook her head and asked me, "Have you tried sandwiches?" I replied with a hasty ehhhh. Then she asked, "How about soups? Make one huge pot at the end of the week and just bring small portions to work."

This turned out to be a great idea, I made it out of the store for under $30.00 and that included a pack of smokes (which I shouldn't buy) and a 12 pack of diet Mountain Dew. (Shut up I love that stuff)

I got the recipe from here: AllRecipes.com

Ingredients

• 4 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup chopped carrots
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup butter
• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 12 cups water
• 9 cubes chicken bouillon
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Directions

1. In a large stock pot, saute celery and onion in butter or margarine.

2. Add chicken, carrots, water, bouillon cubes, marjoram, black pepper, bay leaf, and parsley. Simmer for 30 minutes.

3. Add noodles, and simmer for 10 more minutes.

But this is what I did different.

1. I bought 1 whole chicken and boiled it for 4 hours removed the bones, and shredded the meat.

2. I used a table spoon of garlic.

3. I cut the crap outta myself chopping the onion.

My BG was 131 at the time I ate it, I will update what my BG is in two hours. I had two cups of the soup and gave my 28, CRAP I screwed up the carb count! I just gave myself 1 extra unit to compensate for the .8 I was off. Do'oh!
