How to Make Easy Fish Soup Recipes

,
Paleo Lunch :

Fish soup might not be the most common type of soup but it does make a warming lunch or a deliciously different dinner. When was the last time you made fish chowder or a fish soup recipe? Fish soup can be really flavorful and you can even invent your own fish soup recipes.

How to Make Easy Fish Soup Recipes

Aromatic herbs like dill and parsley go well with fish and you can make fish soup with all kinds of fish, such as tilapia, salmon, tuna, cod and more. Remember that fish only takes about ten minutes to cook in this way, so add the fish near the end of the cooking time, else it might become tough. As soon as the fish is opaque and flakes easily, it is done.

Famous Soup Recipes

There are lots of famous fish soup recipes, such as French bouillabaisse and Singaporean sliced fish soup. Vietnamese sour fish soup, Hungarian paprika-spiced fisherman's soup and Scottish "Cullen Skink" which is a delicious combination of potatoes, onion, cream and smoked haddock, are other examples.

Cioppino is an Italian-American fish soup made with different types of fish, as well as tomatoes, and clam chowder is also a well known dish. You can use many different types of fish and seafood to make fish soup recipes. Simply add some herbs and vegetables to water to make a broth and add some chopped fish.

How to Make Tilapia Soup

This recipe is really easy and you just need to simmer the soup ingredients and fry some bread to make homemade croutons. The soup is flavored with dill, lemon, and parsley and the flavor of the tilapia clearly shines through.

This is one of the most easy soup recipes and it makes a change from the chicken soup recipes and pumpkin soup recipes you might usually make or buy. If you see some tilapia on sale, snatch it up, because this soup is really tasty and well worth making.

What you will need:

  • 2 tilapia fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill
  • 1 pint water
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Juice from half a lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 slice bread, for making croutons
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

How to make it:

Bring the water to a boil in a pot, then add the celery, carrots, and onion and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the dill, parsley, and pepper, and then let the soup boil until the carrots are soft. Add the tilapia fillets and let the soup simmer gently.

Cut the bread into cubes and fry them in the oil to make croutons. Add the lemon juice to the soup when the tilapia is opaque and white and break up the fish fillets using a spoon.

Blend the soup a little bit with a hand mixer but leave it chunky. Add some salt to taste and serve it hot, topped with the croutons.

How Paleo Recipes Can Be the Key to Good Health

,
Paleo Lunch :

In this world we are blessed with so many things (paleo recipes) by The Almighty God and one of the most precious blessings of God is the good health and the secret to the good health. There are many things in this world created by Him to keep us healthy and enjoy the life. Excellent health of our ancestors was due to the use of natural foods like the wild plants and animals in their food and these foods are now termed as the paleo recipes, paleo food, Stone Age or Paleolithic food. It is up to us that how we use this food and live a healthy life. We are also living in an era of fast automation and machine life where our eating routine has converted on fast and junk food items.

How Paleo Recipes Can Be the Key to Good Health

By the robust increase in the population of the world and the technological advancement, we have to use the development in the agricultural sector as well as industry to grow the maximum out of the land and achieve the maximum output of animals to process this stuff to manufacture other eatables. It is due to this technological pace that the numbers of healthy people are decreasing day by day due to obesity and increase in the use of processed foods. But due to the recent research, the importance of paleo recipes has become prominent.

Paleo recipes was being used by our humanoid ancestors and forefathers some ten thousand years ago in the Paleolithic era which spans over two and a half million years. In mid 1970's the concept gets importance that the foods and the herbs used by our Homo sapiens forefathers would be able to keep us healthy. The Paleolithic food consists of foods that can be hunted and fished such as meat, offal and seafood and can be gathered such as eggs, insects, nuts, seeds, vegetables, mushrooms, herbs, spices and fruits as well. Some advocates are of the opinion that only lean cuts of meat free from any food additives should be used like wild game meats and grass fed beef because they contain the higher proportion of Omega 3A.S. compared to grain produced domestic meats. The paleo diet food does not contain the ingredients that were not used by humans before the Neolithic revolution like dairy products, legumes, mainly grains, refined sugar, processed oils and salts.

Paleo recipes require an adequate amount of meat in its composition and it is advised to use as much meat in the diet as you want in your diet whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner and it should be cooked without using much of the fats in it with little oil. Meat should contain lean beef with trimmed of visible fats like flank steak, extra lean hamburger, chunk steak, lean veal, London broil and Top sirloin Steak. Lean poultry is the white meat with skin removed and consists of chicken breast, turkey breast and game hen breast.

Organ meats of beef, lamb and chicken, rabbit and Goat meat, eggs not more than six in a week of Chicken (enriched source of Omega 3), Duck and Goose. The paleo diet also contains fish as an ingredient in it. Fish meat can consist of Eel, Bas, Trout, Mullet or any other available fish. Fish meat is a complete diet and contains all the components needed for the excellent working of the human body.

Fruits are also an important part of the paleo recipes and they can be eaten as much as anyone desire as they are low in calories and do not disturb the functioning if eaten in excessive quantities. Seeds and nuts are also important as they contain many valuable food ingredients in it. Walnuts are an amazing source of Omega 3. Almonds, Pine nuts, Brazilian nuts, unsalted Pistachios, Pumpkins seeds and chestnuts among the famous seeds and nuts.

Summing up, paleo recipes do not contain the processed milk products like ice creams, cheese, butter, yogurt and other cereal foods according to the advocated of the paleo food and hence should be avoided. The only useable items are fruits, vegetables, meat, nuts and seeds which are the opinion of the advocates of the paleo diet.

Paleo Diet Recipes: Modern Recipes From Ancient Man

,
Paleo Lunch :

If you are trying to follow the Paleo diet, you may be going through a transition period. Any time we pick up a new habit-no matter how healthy-we go through a period of trying to adjust to the new behaviors and practices. What can make this period even more challenging is a lack of Paleo diet recipes to follow. In fact, a lack of Paleo diet recipes makes it even more difficult to experience success because you will be less likely to stick with the new lifestyle.

Paleo Diet Recipes: Modern Recipes From Ancient Man

Paleo recipes can make the difference between each and every meal time being an exercise in frustration, where you keep asking yourself, 'What am I going to make to eat?' while your stomach gnaws at your backbone for sustenance and meal times being an easy, pleasing experience. If you have Paleo recipes at your disposal, then you can create a menu for yourself and know what you are going to make for lunch, dinner, and breakfast each day. Tasty recipes will help you to begin to see the benefits of the Paleo diet and that success will inspire you to push through the difficult period of adjustment and stick with the program.

The Paleo diet has many names-the Caveman Diet, the Hunter-Gather Diet-but all those names are synonyms for the same thing, which is a shift in lifestyle that works. When you make the transition to the Paleo diet, you will see an increase in your stamina and your performance. All of the drops in energy, endurance, and performance that you have written off to aging will disappear. You will perform as you never have. Our modern diets are packed with foods that are really no good for us. We eat antinutrients that do little more than make us vulnerable to disease and illness. We feel sluggish and poor because we are not giving our bodies fuel. We are putting toxins into our bodies. Those toxins cause our bodies to run inefficiently. Our bodies are machines and when we improperly fuel our tanks, out bodies respond by running poorly.

If you want to enjoy optimal health, then you have to make changes. You have to rid your diet of the antinutrients and fake food you've been eating as a part of the modern diet and begin eating the foods that your body craves. Our bodies crave the foods on the Paleo diet because these are the foods that we were designed to eat. Our bodies will hum like the well-oiled machines they are meant to be. And your body will reward you with its performance, which will be beyond your imagination. If you want to function in ways you never have before, then you will make the shift to the Paleo diet. In order to do that well, you need to arm yourself with resources that make Paleo diet recipes at your disposal. Having a wealth of recipes from which to choose will make changing your lifestyle so much easier. When you see the success of the new lifestyle, you will want to eat this way all the time.

Paleo Diet and recipes

Paleo Diet Recipes: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

On first impression you may be thinking that, like most diets, the Paleo diet is going to be too restricting/complicated and mealtimes could become an 'issue'. Not in the least! Do not even consider for a moment that Paleo diet meals and recipes are going to be boring, complicated or lack in variety. Paleo diet recipes result in wholesome flavoursome meals.

Protein plays a vital role in Paleo diet and meals should consist of approximately 60% to 70% percent of your daily food intake. The balance of course being fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds with additional oils used in preparation of the meals such as avocado oil, nut oils etc.

NO GRAIN OR DAIRY IS TO BE CONSUMED

Remember shop fresh, organic, natural and wild. To be totally Paleo, eat seasonal as well - this of course being carbon footprint friendly.

Lunch and dinner Paleo diet recipes and meals can be adjusted according to your own personal lifestyle and requirements. To start out take your usual recipes and merely substitute the 'cannot have' with a 'can have' - you will be amazed how quickly you adjust and how capable you are of making your own Paleo diet recipes.

Some ideas for your three main Paleo diet meals for the day:

Breakfast:

  1. 2 Poached eggs on a bed of lightly panned spinach
  2. Bowl of mixed berries with nuts and cashew cream
  3. A 2 egg omelette with filling of your choice eg - no dairy though
  4. Chicken liver and bacon with grilled tomato.
  5. Fruit smoothy of choice eg banana and nut; berries and fresh coconut blended with ice cubes.
  6. Steamed/grilled fish with grilled tomato and mushroom.
  7. Absolutely nothing wrong with having the leftovers from dinner the night before.

Lunch and Dinners

These can be adjusted according to your daily routine.

  1. Mushroom burger with salad
  2. Roast chicken, vegetables and salad
  3. Meat and vegetable kebab with broccoli and walnut salad
  4. Bolognaise - made with zucchini spaghetti
  5. Prawn, avocado and fresh asparagus salad
  6. Wholesome chunky soup.
  7. Steak, vegetable bake and salad.

Sauces/Dressings

Salads and vegetables can be enhanced with various sauces and dressings eg any easy to make dressing of the combination of honey, lemon juice, seasoning and fresh, finely chopped herbs of choice. Paleo tartar sauce made from Paleo mayonnaise can be added to seafood, be it fish, shellfish or crustacean. A basic Paleo diet recipe for mayo is as follows:

3 - 5 Garlic cloves peeled (large)

Approximately 2 cups of organic olive oil

2 room temperature, lightly beaten free range egg yolks,

juice of 1 organic lemon

small quantity of lukewarm waster

Crush garlic cloves into a paste and add to the lightly beaten egg yolks. Lightly beat with wooden spoon until the mixture turns pale yellow.

While blending the garlic and egg yolk very slowly (drop by drop) add 3 tablespoons of the olive.

Blend gently until the mixture is thick and creamy then add ½ to 1 tablespoon of water and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice.

Continue stirring while adding the olive oil in a very fine stream. If the mixture becomes too thick once again add 1 teaspoon of water and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

Continue like this until all the oil is used.

Always mix by stirring in one direction only.

Should the mixture split - put it over into a clean bowl and add a teaspoon of lukewarm water and mix continue like this until fixed.

Most important have fun inventing your very own Pale Diet recipes and meals.

NOT FORGETTING YOU GET DESSERT AS WELL!
