Cooking Light Soups And Stews

There's something about piping hot soup ladled into a bowl that signifies total comfort. Maybe it's the aroma of a rich stew simmering on the stovetop or the pleasure of spooning into a velvety cream soup. Because slow cookers and multicookers continue to be popular with soup lovers, over half of these recipes can be prepared in one of those convenient appliances, and those recipes are flagged throughout the book. And as always with Cooking Light, comfort doesn't mean excessive calories or fat—only simple satisfaction.

With 59 all-new recipes, Cooking Light Soups & Stews helps you bring hearty bowls of goodness to your table. If you have special dietary needs, there are recipes for vegan soups and low-carb soups. If you need to simplify, turn to the chapter with 5-ingredient or multicooker soups. When you want to have some meals on hand, turn to Big Batch Soups. As with all Cooking Light recipes, these will have realistic portion sizes with emphasis on lean meats, poultry, seafoods, vegetables, fruits and whole grains, as well as moderate use of salt, sugar, and fats.

Now she shares 125 quick, easy, and tasty whole food recipes that can help you reach your weight loss goals, too! Brittany Williams had struggled with her weight all her life. She grew up eating the standard American staples—fast, frozen, fried, and processed—and hit a peak weight of 260 pounds. When her 4-year-old daughter’s autoimmune disease was alleviated by a low-sugar, dairy-free, grain-free, whole-food-based diet, Brittany realized she owed her own body the same kind of healing. So on January 1, 2017, she vowed to make every meal for a year from scratch, aided by her Instant Pot®. She discovered that the versatility, speed, and ease of the electric pressure cooker made creating wholesome, tasty, family-satisfying meals a breeze, usually taking under thirty minutes. Not only did the family thrive over the course of the year, Brittany lost an astonishing 125 pounds, all documented on her Instant Loss blog. Illustrated with gorgeous photography, Instant Loss Cookbook shares 125 recipes and the meal plan that Brittany used for her own weight loss, 75% of which are recipes for the Instant Pot® or other multicooker.

The clearest guide to navigating your Instant Pot® or other multicooker that you’ll find, Instant Loss Cookbook makes healthy eating convenient—and that’s the key to sustainable weight loss.
