You people need to watch Forks Over Knives, THEN try and tell others you need high amounts of fat in your diet. Chances are, after seeing the scientific facts that prove any diet high in fat is horrible for your health, your opinion may change. Unless you prefer diabetes, heart disease, etc. By the way, carbs are good! This soup sounds perfect to me. Keep up the healthy recipes, Blendtec!
As long as you are using organic soy beans, they are not GMO.
I don’t understand this attitude in people either regarding good carbs. Sometimes I wish there were two words to distinquish carbs – good beans & veggies as opposed to white flour and sugar.
Martha and Rich are correct, we need fat… as long as it’s the good ones like coconut, avocado, and organic grass fed dairy & meat. The rest may compromise your health eventually. I also agree about staying away from soy, I had reoccurring thyroid goiters until I eliminated soy from my diet. And I’ve also stopped consuming most grains / flour products, they’re as bad as eating white sugar
Dairy cream is NEVER a healthy fat.
