• 3 Cloves Garlic (minced).
• 1 tbsp olive oil.
• ¾ Cup sharp cheddar cheese (and extra for topping the soup, if desired).
• Salt.
• Pepper.
• Chives (optional topping).

Instructions : 

Meat preparation:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in pan over medium-high heat.
• Season both sides of raw chicken breast with salt & pepper.
• Sear chicken in pan for 3 minutes, turn over and sear for 3 more minutes on other side. (The goal is to brown the meat on each side. The meat will not be cooked through. It will still be pink on the edges and inside, that's okay!)
• Place chicken on plate to cool while you de-glaze the pan. Leave the heat on for the pan de-glazing.
• Add white wine, ½ cup chicken stock and minced garlic to hot pan, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.

Herbs and Veggie Prep:

• Peel & Chop onion (s)
• Remove tough strips from celery by breaking in half and peeling off stringy pieces. (You don't need to remove all the strings, just the thick ones that come off with the break. This makes the celery more tender, which means kids don't realize it's hiding in the soup!).
• Chop the celery
• Pull the thyme leaves off the stems. 

Liquid Preparation :

• In a medium bowl whisk together cheddar cheese soup and remaining chicken stock. (This just blends the liquids together for a smooth consistency. )

Healthy Dinner Recipes - Quick Healthy Soups

    

     We all know these evenings when there's not much time to cook and you need something quick. Or just do not feel like cooking, for example, in a Friday night or Saturday. And if you've had a full meal for lunch and dinner must certainly be something light. But you still want the pleasant taste, fill up and be healthy, right?

     Instead of a sandwich, why not make a soup for a change? You can with almost everything you have at home. All vegetables can go. It is also the ideal way to get rid of leftovers : carrot, this bone, this piece of broccoli or cauliflower. Just pull it all together for a soup and a good meal.

Here is a very simple recipe that you can use to create an unlimited number of different soups :

Healthy Dinner Recipes # 1 : Vegetable Soup with Pasta :

Ingredients :

•    700 ml chicken, beef or vegetable stock.
• 350 g vegetables (one kind or mixed).
• 150 g soup noodles.
• spices of your choice.

Steps:

• Boil water and prepare actions.
• Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: Wash, peel, remove pips and seeds and cut into little cubes or florets or thin slices.
• Add vegetables and noodles to the boiling stock. Reduce the heat, cover partially and allow simmering for 10-15 minutes until vegetables and noodles are just soft.
• Season and serve. 
• Serve 4 peoples.

Variations and Tips:

1. If you are in a hurry, you can safe a lot of time by using frozen or canned vegetables which are ready for use.
2. You can use vegetables only or combine them with legumes. Dried peas, beans and lentils take quite some time to cook, so you might want to use canned ones instead.
3. You can add a little meat or sausages too. Simply reduce the amount vegetables a bit then. To keep it healthy, make sure that at least 2/3 of your 350 g are vegetables or legumes.

     No fat is added in cooking, and do not use foods high in fat. That is why it is very healthy and fit this type of soup, even for people who want to lose weight. If you need to strictly control your carbohydrate intake, I recommend that you use whole wheat pasta instead of white. If you can not get the whole wheat noodle soup, never mind. Broken spaghetti will also do the trick.

      Especially in winter, there is nothing better than a nice hot dinner soup. Soups are great for dinners, as many of them are easy to prepare and you can use almost anything in the fridge and pantry. If your kitchen is well organized, so you 'll always have something to make a good healthy soup. 

     But sometimes you want something special. Cream soups are great. But they are rich in fat and a bit heavy. Is this really healthy ? Well, from time to time will not hurt you. But if you 're worried about calories, try the following :

Healthy Dinner Recipes # 2 : Creamy Vegetable Soup with Whole Grain Rolls :

Ingredients :

• 1 tbsp. olive or canola oil.
• 1 small onion, chopped.
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed.
• 350 g vegetables (one kind or mixed).
• 700 ml chicken, beef or vegetable stock.
• 100 ml low fat milk.
• spices of your choice.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot and fry onion and garlic until golden.
• Then add the vegetables and roast briefly. Add the stock and allow simmering for about 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft
• Puree the soup with a stick blender, mix 100 ml of low fat milk and season.
• Serve with whole grain rolls or toast. 
• Serve 4 Peoples.

     This healthy dinner recipe has much less fat than original cream soup. Used vegetable oil is healthy oil you can get, and the cream is replaced by low-fat milk. It gives the soup a creamy texture without the load of calories. Even whole milk would make a big difference and cream.

     In addition to reducing calories from fat, the recipe also ensures that you will not have too many calories from carbohydrates. It uses whole grains instead of refined white bread, meaning complex instead of simple carbohydrates. These are great for diabetics and overweight people because they don't cause heavy blood sugar fluctuations and are very unlikely to be stored as fat. Also,
they fill you much quicker and for longer than the refined versions, preventing overeating and sudden hunger attacks whilst giving you lasting energy.

Breakfast Recipes - Healthy Breakfast in Short Time

     

     A healthy breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many of us skip it because of time constraints. Well, now there's no more excuses!

There are several easy breakfast recipes that you can throw together in less time than it takes you to find your keys.

     Did you know that numerous studies have found that people who eat breakfast are often slimmer than those who don't? One of the main reasons is this: When you sleep, you're obviously not eating for about 8 hours (unless you have some serious sleepwalking cravings). Your body is in a fasted state, so everything slows down. But, the sooner you eat upon waking, the sooner your metabolism is kicked back into gear for the day. 

     However, if you skip breakfast, your metabolism is standing near all the hours you were asleep, plus overtime before your first meal. This is exactly the time when the fat is installed and unpack their bags ( and rolls).

     And to those who already eat breakfast everyday and are patting themselves on the back, you're not out of the woods yet! Even the most devoted breakfast eater has room for improvement, because a healthy breakfast is the key to weight loss, improved health, and prolonged energy.

     Of course, Pop Tarts and bagels get your metabolism, but certainly not the healthiest choice. You need a bigger breakfast (about 500 calories ) with at least 20 grams of protein for your body to start the right way and keep you satisfied longer.

     Well, it all became a bit complicated, right? How is it possible to have time to make breakfast of 500 calories with enough protein, vitamins and minerals to actually do something good?
