Low K Soups and Starters

Soups are an essential addition to a range of foods!

Soups are an essential addition to a range of foods. The three soups included here are all light soups which are easily made from the pantry or, for a special occasion, from easily purchased items. There are plenty of winter warming soups available commercially.

For a long time, starters were difficult on this Vitamin K regime as so many of the standard recipes rely on greens for their attraction. However, through experimentation, solutions were found.

It should be noted that saffron is very expensive and that turmeric can be substituted for the yellow colouring. However, it should also be noted that saffron offers a more delicate flavour with a pleasing aroma whereas turmeric can be quite bitter. As always, moderation is the key.

Bacon and Peaches

  • 8 halves of fresh peach, skin on, de-stoned
  • 2 slices of bacon
  • Tooth picks
  • 1⁄4 cup of alfalfa sprouts

  • OPTIONS

  • Yellow nectarines, pineapple, firm pawpaw or papaya can all be substituted for the peaches in this dish.
  • Note:If the peaches are large cut them into quarters or even eighths.
This is a different finger food for use as a starter or as party food. It is usually made with prunes but they are extremely high in Vitamin K. As a result, peaches are substituted here. Also remember that the fruit will be hot so perhaps serve them with toothpicks or small cocktail forks.

  2. Trim the rind off the bacon rashers.
  3. Cut each bacon rasher into four pieces.
  4. Wrap a piece of bacon around each peach half.
