High today is supposed to be 16°, and low is 0°. I made this for the first time way back in November of 2004. It was posted on the <a href="http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/" target="_blank">lowcarbfriends</a> web site, in its original form, as <a href="http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/low-carb-recipe-help-suggestions/284823-i-made-phoebeherselfs-pumpkin-sausage-soup-dinner.html#post3946544" target="_blank">PhoebeHerself's Pumpkin and Sausage Soup</a>. It hadn't been posted a week when I ran out and got the ingredients and made plans to try it- based on the OP's review. (Some people just have similar taste to mine, and I know pretty much whose recipes I'm going to like, and whose to steer clear of- I like almost all of the recipes Erin's recommended.) I tried it, and like all other recipes, I followed the recipe as written (except I used heavy cream instead of half-and-half). It was good, very good actually, but:</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">1- I really don't care for fresh mushrooms,</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2- Bob Evans' Zesty Hot breakfast sausage can be pretty pricey, and</span><br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3- I <i>rarely</i> have chicken broth on hand.</span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now it was time to modify this puppy and make it my own. I traded the fresh mushrooms for canned, the expensive sausage for the Aldi brand plus a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, and the broth for bouillon cubes and water- and I still use heavy cream at the end.</span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I could eat this any time of the year, but right now it just seems particularly appropriate. I have shared this at any number of carry-in events, at work, school, church, Bible studies, family functions- </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">you name it- I've shared it with them- and I usually come home with an empty container.</span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Keep in mind this is MY way of making this masterpiece of a soup; if you prefer fresh mushrooms or chicken broth instead of bouillon, feel free to use the original recipe, or make your own modifications. Just don't neglect to try it!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Meat loaf has always been a favorite of mine. When I was a kid, my mom would make anything we wanted for our birthday dinners. I almost always chose meat loaf and cole slaw. How cool is it that two of my favorite foods are so easily low carbed?</span></span></div>

I'm not a huge squash fan, but I made this recipe several years ago and loved it so much that I planted yellow crookneck squash, green bell peppers and onions in my yard the next summer. My soil is pretty alkaline, and I don't have time to acidify it every time it rains, so I'm not growing them this summer. No point when blossom end rot is inevitable, right? Anyway, they're cheap in the grocery, so I can still make it, and not break the bank. I will be growing them next summer; all my classes will be online so I will have more time to spend with my gardens. I highly recommend you try this dish, even if you're not fond of squash. I never was- until I tried this.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> I'm so excited! I haven't made Turkish food in a while, especially not Turkish dinner. (Turkish breakfast is really good, and easy, so I have it on occasion- but that's a post for another day.) Seems like every time I get a craving for Tavuk Izgara, I want it NOW. And I don't like it as well if I haven't started it the day before. When that happens, I usually just "settle" for some generic grilled chicken, or some other dish that wasn't really what I wanted. You know what I mean; you've done it too. Anyway I started it yesterday, and I cooked it today. And while I was waiting for the grill to heat, I threw together a little Soğan Salatasi. There is nothing better (in my opinion) with grilled meat. It's fresh, and tangy, and sour, and flavorful- it's just the perfect side for Tavuk Izgara. </span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Now, it calls for "sumac" which may or may not be found easily. Penzeys carries it, but they charge something like $27 a pound (On the bright side, they sell small containers, as small as 1.2 ounces, for $4.55. I have never tried their sumac, but their other spices are excellent, so I have no reason to believe the sumac would be otherwise.) Personally, I bought a little over a pound from a Middle Eastern grocer- and paid $6.49 for it. It's supposed to keep for several months after you open it, but I keep it in its original bag inside a zipped freezer bag, in the freezer. I don't think it's degraded at all yet (over a year). You don't want to miss out on sumac- it's not easily substituted (although some believe you can use lemon zest and salt, or lemon pepper and salt- I just don't think it's a suitable substitution).</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The rest of the ingredients for this dinner are pretty common, and if you don't have them in your kitchen already, at least they are easy to find in a regular grocery.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am so disappointed! After all these years (since 1/2/01) of cooking and eating LCHF and/or keto, I still have newbies in these "support" groups telling me I'm misinformed, uninformed, ignorant, wrong. They spout off because someone told them something and they took it as gospel. They offer up 'proof' to show me how wrong I am: someone's blog, another post on FB, a MLM advertisement. So I did what any self-respecting veteran of this WOE would do: I blocked the offensive newbies then I removed all my posts from the groups where I feel most abused, so that there will be no further discussion. I don't think I'm allowed to speak my mind about how the admins are failing us (and even if it <i>was</i> allowed, I've deleted all of <i>my </i>end of the arguments), so I won't post this, or any similar message, on those group pages. From here on out, it's just venting:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recently I had some snowflake telling me about how vegetables pull carbohydrates out of the air and add them as they cook. This is why cooked vegetables have higher carb counts than raw ones. REALLY?!?!?! I tried to explain, in my most elementary vocabulary how that works, but the argument just went on. And on. And on. This particular snowflake actually called me "uninformed",</span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">suggested I do a little research before posting </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">and apologized for not being able to change facts. I replied by stating that I was NOT uninformed and atempted a basic explanation of how cooked vegetables get higher carb counts, but she wasn't having it. (I also apologized for the fact that facts are facts.) Finally an admin (It was a moderator, but they like to call themselves admins. Might be a power thing; I don't know) stepped in and turned off commenting, but it was too little too late. IMO, the one who was being abusive should have been removed and the thread should have been edited to remove the abusive post, but who am I? LOL</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In any case, should you wonder why cooked vegetables are higher in carbs than raw ones- let's take a look at spinach. A pound of raw spinach is going to fill 8 to 10 measuring cups. A pound of raw spinach contains 104 calories and 16.48 grams of carbohydrate, 10 grams of fiber. Now if we cook that pound of spinach, we lose a LOT of its water content. Therefore, what started out as 8 to 10 cups of raw spinach, will yield only about ONE cup of cooked spinach. The only thing lost, however, is water. The 104 calories, 16.48 grams of carbs and 10 grams of fiber remain. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">BTW, spinach is an excellent source of potassium, and many people who follow the keto WOE don't get enough potassium. It's always better to get your potassium from foods than supplements, and keeping potassium in balance with the other electrolytes is crucial to your health. Please do NOT supplement with OTC tablets. Try a decadent <a href="http://coffeytogo.blogspot.com/2014/11/mini-spini-souffle.html" target="_blank">Spinach Soufflé</a> for a delicious boost of potassium. </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you are eating plenty of avocado, spinach and wild salmon and still feel that you are low on K, see a doctor, and get a blood test and a prescription for potassium. This is not something to play around with.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A related question that comes up is regarding fresh fruit -vs- dried fruit. Grapes are easy to understand, so we'll go there. Start out with 2 1/3 cups of fresh grapes. They have 140 calories, 38 grams of carbohydrate and 2 grams of fiber. If you dry them, they lose water. WATER. Nothing else. They still have 140 calories, 38 grams of carbohydrate and 2 grams of fiber as raisins. HOWEVER, the raisins will only fill a 1/3 cup measure.</span></div>

<span style="color: #b45f06;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: #783f04;">I usually make this in the crock-pot, but have done it in the oven when the crock-pots were otherwise occupied. I think at 300F it took about an hour, and at 350F it was ready in about 40 minutes. (It's oven-done when it's hot and bubbly, and the top is just beginning to brown. The top </span><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif" style="color: #783f04;">doesn't brown much in the slow cooker.)</span></span><br />
