Karen, that soup was DA BOMB! I'm always dickin' around with recipes, and some of the ideas I have are....include the juice of the beans to help with the broth, the hominy instead of regular corn is a totally excellent idea (great flavor, too!) and then instead of corn, I've discovered that slicing cabbage into soups tastes really good, and cooks down well, but still retains the fiber.
The fiber in the beans and corn are also a good thing to consider. There's more to it than just avoiding carbs. Refried beans are a staple food, and they're high in carbs, too, but they also provide protein, good good vitamins, and fiber. Bread, rolls, poptarts--those are the carbs we need to avoid!
Karen, I'm SO going to make this soup, my mouth is watering thinking about how good that soup was. Did you two go to Hawaii yet? We need to get together again soon--give us a call so we can set something up, eh?
