My husband and I totally love the beef and vegetable soup at Steaks &#038; Shake restaurant. I am hoping for a similar recipe. The soup is not too thick and it&#8217;s just perfect in texture and the flavour is not overpowering like most stew recipe.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by yoohoo</i><br/>does it have noodles or macaroni in it?  I have a fantastic Cheeseburger soup recipe that&#8217;s a staple of my life, but it does use noodles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-10" title="vegetables" src="http://vegetablesnutrition.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/vegetables.jpg" alt="vegetables" width="145" height="127" />While striving to eat the recommended 5 servings of vegetables and fruits each day, it&#8217;s important to try and focus on eating a variety of dark green vegetables.</p>
<p>Dark green leafy vegetables are a great source of many nutritious vitamins and minerals needed to stay healthy including  phytonutrients, vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, iron and folate. These are also good sources of fiber. Recent research suggests that the nutrients found in dark green vegetables may be helpful in preventing certain types of cancers while promoting heart and cardiovascular health. Dark green leafy vegetables are one of the most concentrated sources of nutrition of any type of food.</p>
<p>Popular varities include spinach, broccoli, collard greens, arugula, kale, mustard greens, and swiss chard.</p>
<p>Green vegetables are also a good source of iron and calcium for any healthy diet. Green leafy vegetables are known to be rich in beta-carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A, and also improve immune function. Chlorophyll is what gives green leafy vegetables their color, meaning that dark leafy greens are extremely rich in chlorophyll. Leafy greens are known for their help in the prevention of diseases, including heart disease, stroke and a variety of cancers. As a rule of thumb, the darker the leaves the more nutrient-rich the vegetable is.</p>
<p>Eating green vegetables can significantly decrease the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, according to a study conducted by researchers from Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and recently published in the journal Diabetes Care. The study by led by Lydia A. Bazzano showed the every additional serving of green leafy vegetables a day was associated with a 9 percent reduction in diabetes risk. The study also found three servings a day of whole fruit consumption was also associated with an 18 percent reduction.</p>
<p>Also, eating healthy green vegetables can help prevent you from developing  brain disorders like Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease.  As part of an overall balanced lifestyle plan, you just can&#8217;t go wrong by eating green vegetables as often as possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All food are packed with nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Many foods can be eaten raw, while others need to be cooked.</p>
<p>There are simple ways to convert a food in a fun and tasty dish. Unfortunately for some nutrients the heat is a proved enemy, since they are destroyed by the cooking process, before they arrive at our table. That is why many recommend foods can be eaten in raw form such as raw vegetables in salads. Investigations conducted in Italy in 2007 indicate some ways of cooking vegetables that maintain or even boost their nutritional value.</p>
<p>The research studied three (3) widely known ways of cooking in Italian cuisine: boiling, steaming and frying, and examined the effects on the nutritional value of vegetables such as carrot, zucchini and broccoli.</p>
<p>The boiling and steaming showed that vegetables keep their antioxidants. Indeed steaming broccoli causes a large increase in the substance of glucosinolates, which have anticancer activity. Unlike frying may cause significant loss of the vegetables antioxidants. These findings suggest that depending on the cooking method chosen for each vegetable, they can preserve or not their nutritional value.</p>
<p>Vegetables are essential part of a healthy and balanced diet and provide many nutrients necessary for the proper functioning of the human body. These nutrients, however, risk being lost if certain practices used in cooking or preparation. Let&#8217;s check below some advices.</p>
<p><strong>Preparation</strong></p>
<p>When cooking vegetables, the preparation is as important as the cooking process. If vegetables are not properly prepared, nutritional value can be reduced. It is important for washing and rinsing of vegetables to use cold water to remove the bad and unnecessary dirt.</p>
<p>The leafy parts of vegetables have more nutrients. Much of nutrients also lurks beneath the skin of vegetables. Avoid peeling as you can, because beneath the skin are located mainly the fiber and minerals.</p>
<p><strong>Boiling</strong></p>
<p>In general is good to avoid boiling vegetables, especially if they are sliced. If the cut vegetables cooked in water, a significant proportion of nutrients, like vitamins and minerals are released into the water, making water in some cases more beneficial than the same vegetable.</p>
<p>Also, because the boiling is a prolonged cooking process for vegetables, many of the nutrients get destroyed. Finally, the quality and flavor of vegetables is often reduced by boiling.</p>
<p><strong>Steaming</strong></p>
<p>With this technique of cooking we might loose the micro plant nutrients of vegetables. Useful for anyone to make steamed vegetables are the steamers, although they may work just as well a strainer or a strainer.</p>
<p>The vegetables should be placed evenly and place strainer over a pan of boiling water. The high temperature steam to can lock the nutrients of vegetables. Vegetables are ready when they are tender and crust up on the outside.</p>
<p><strong>Frying</strong></p>
<p>Make sure the vegetables are cut into thin slices to warm faster. Use a tablespoon of oil. When hot enough, add the vegetables, stirring. Cook for a few minutes at high temperature to maintain their nutritional value.</p>
<p>Investigations are continuing in order to find and other methods for cooking vegetables to maintain the nutritional content.</p>

<p>Fruits and Vegetables are an important part of a healthy eating plan.</p>
<p>Vegetables are nutritious sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Professionals who focus on weight loss training can&#8217;t say enough good about the humble vegetable. However, if your <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);" href="http://www.balanced-life-fitness.com/"><strong>personal fitness trainer</strong></a> has told you to eat a certain number of servings of vegetables each day, what exactly does that mean in real terms?</p>
<p>Vegetables are a bit different than most other dietary categories. This is because starchy vegetables act differently in the body, so they have their own recommendations. One serving of starchy vegetables can be broken down as follows:</p>
<p>1/3 cup beans<br />1/2 cup of corn and white or sweet potato, or a half of a baked potato<br />1 cup cooked winter squash<br />2/3 cups peas</p>
<p>All other vegetables are considered to be non-starchy and have different guidelines. Most vegetable servings have 5 carbohydrate grams and about 25 calories. General guidelines indicate that 1 cup of raw and 1/2 cup of cooked vegetables roughly equate to a serving. Leafy greens are even more liberal, with an entire 3 cups of spinach, lettuce or similar greens being a serving. Lettuce is particularly interesting, because any amount under 1/3 cup of lettuce is actually considered &#8220;free&#8221; in serving and calorie count. The following amounts also equate to one serving of vegetables:</p>
<p>3/4 cup sprouts<br />8 medium asparagus spears<br />1 1/4 cups shredded raw cabbage<br />4 medium celery stalks<br />1 1/2 cups sliced cucumbers<br />1 medium tomato<br />5 water chestnuts<br />1/3 cup chopped raw onion</p>
<p>Most dietary guidelines suggest that you eat at least two servings of fruit per day and often the recommendation is to consume four or more servings. What exactly constitutes a serving of fruit?</p>
<p>Each serving of fruit should have about 15 carbohydrate grams and 60 calories. Whole fruit is considered more nutritious because it leaves the all-important fiber intact, has less sugar and more vitamins. To determine exactly what makes one serving of fruit, you can start with the larger fruits. Most large fruits are one serving each. However, size matters. If your apple is particularly large, it might be 1.5 or 2 servings of fruit. To equal one fruit serving, look for:</p>
<p>1 small apple<br />1/2 banana<br />1 medium orange<br />1 peach<br />2 plums<br />1/2 of a grapefruit<br />4 average size apricots<br />3 dates<br />1 1/2 kiwis<br />1/2 mango</p>
<p>Fruits that are either very small or very large are given a volume to guide in getting the right amount for one serving. Look for:</p>
<p>1/2 cup applesauce<br />2/3 cup blueberries<br />1 cup melon chunks<br />1/2 cups grapes<br />1 cup raspberries<br />1 1/4 cups strawberries<br />2 tablespoons raisins</p>
<p>For the record, 1/2 cup of juice is considered to be a single serving. Again, juice lacks much of the nutritional benefits of eating whole fruit, but it works in a pinch. For most of your fruit consumption, however, the closer to nature the fruit, the better it is for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We may not have realized it then, but when our parent and teachers insist that we eat our fruits and vegetables, they were doing us a great favor. It turned out that fruits and vegetables are an essential part of our diet, providing a wide range of vitamins and minerals that serve numerous important functions in the body.</p>
<p>For years U.S. Department of Health has recommended including at least five portions of fruits and vegetables in our daily diet.</p>
<p>Many people, however, are still not getting the message they remain delinquent in their fruit and vegetable intake. Regretfully only one in seven does achieve this quota. In fact, a full 33% of American adults eats only two servings of fruits and vegetables a day and are more likely to opt for an unhealthy snack instead. On a daily basis, about half the population eats no fruit at all.</p>
<p>A Ton of Reasons: There are a tons of reasons to eat a variety of colors from the produce dept. Fruits and vegetables are basically fat free, low in salt and an excellent source of fiber.</p>
<p>Some fruits and vegetables, such as bananas and spinach, contain potassium, which supports proper nerve and muscle functioning. Other fruits and vegetables, such as carrots and cantaloupe, supply Vitamin A, which maintains eye health and immunity. Green vegetables such as broccoli and asparagus provides Vitamin B, which is necessary for converting food into energy.</p>
<p>All fruits and vegetables are loaded with phytonutrients, the health-promoting components of plants. Studies have shown that phytonutrients can help protect seven key organs, including the heart, liver, eyes and skin.</p>
<p>Antioxidant Properties: Researches that measured the total antioxidant power of various foods, placed fruits and vegetables at the top of the list.</p>
<p>Antioxidants are known to protect our bodies from free radicals that can cause damage to cellular membranes. Antioxidants also help to make our muscles stronger, boost our immunity, and support bone and skin health.</p>
<p>Colorful fruits and vegetables derive their antioxidant properties from the chemical that causes their various colors. It is therefore very beneficial to consume fruit and vegetables from all the different color groups.</p>
<p>The seven food color groups and their properties.</p>
<p>1.Red.</p>
<p>Tomato, tomato juices, watermelon, pink grapefruit, red plum: Produces Lycopene which has shown to inhibit cancer cell growth in laboratory test.</p>
<p>2.Red/Purple</p>
<p>Grapes, strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, blueberries, prunes, red apples. Proanthocyanidins protect against urine infections.ellagic acid inhibits cancer cell growth.</p>
<p>3.Green</p>
<p>Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Bok Choy. Produces Isothio-cyanates increase liver proteins that defend against carcinogens.</p>
<p>4.Green/Yellow</p>
<p>Spinach, corn, collard greens, kale, avocado, mustard greens. Lutein protects vision, the heart, and inhibits cancer cell growth.</p>
<p>5. Orange</p>
<p>Carrots, cantaloupe, pumpkin, mangos, apricots. Beta carotene protects vision and immune function.</p>
<p>6.Orange/Yellow</p>
<p>Oranges, lemons, papaya, peaches, nectarines, pineapple. Flavonoids inhibit tumor growth and repair DNA. Limonoids in the skin of oranges and lemon inhibit tumor growth.</p>
<p>7.Green/White</p>
<p>Garlic, onion, celery, chives, pears, leeks. Allyl sulfides inhibit tumor cell growth.</p>
<p>A study by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute&#8217;s, suggest that: Eating more fruits and vegetables can also help lower cholesterol. In the study, the 4466 subjects consumed on average a shade over 3 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Men and women with the highest daily consumption (more than 4 servings a day) had significantly lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol than those with lower consumption</p>
<p>Exactly how fruits and vegetables lower cholesterol is still something of a mystery. It just may be that eating more fruits and vegetables result in eating less meat and dairy products, and thus less cholesterol-boosting saturated fat. Soluble fiber in fruits and vegetables may also block the absorption of cholesterol from food.</p>
<p>The next time you feel the urge for a snack why not try a half a cup of fresh or frozen blueberries. Blueberries are one of the best antioxidant-rich foods, they have been so effective in retarding aging in laboratory animals that they can block brain changes leading to decline and even reverse failing memory.</p>
<p>If you are having difficulty eating the recommended daily servings of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, you may want to add dietary supplements to your diet. Dietary supplements can provide you with the powerful phytonutrients and antioxidant benefits found in seven servings of colorful fruits and vegetables. It also supports your body&#8217;s vital organs by providing them with key nutrients.</p>
<p>By making the effort to follow your mom&#8217;s advice by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables each day, you may be doing your body one of the biggest favors ever.</p>
