Okay, even more than soda, I was addicted to french onion soup...the really creamy kind with cheese and croutons. Anyone have a wls healthy recipe for this? Celadonnnnnn to the rescue? Thanks in advance all!

I have a really yummy recipe for it, although i'm not sure how good it is for you. LOL I'll have to dig around a bit and find it. I'll post it later.

Thanks Toris! If you post it, I will try to run it through fitday and see what the numbers are for it!

I'm not celadon, but here is a recipe.

WLS 1/2 c. portion.

OTM, thank you! I appreciate you posting that for me...I will have to try it this weekend.

I will try it as my 'reward' for putting together my treadclimber that arrived today!

Sorry I got in here late. It is great to see that OTM was on it though. Her recipe is very similar to mine so I would say go for it!
