Gluten Free Curry Noodle Soup

Gluten Free Curry Noodle Soup Recipe

Did you know that the average woman gains between 5 to 7 pounds during the winter months? Yikes! That’s kinda depressing if you ask me.

There are a number of reasons for this weight gain; we spend more time being sedentary in the cold weather, most people feel hungrier during cold weather months, we tend to eat heavier foods, and my own personal thought – we tend to wear heavier clothes, so who cares?

The problem is that the weight that creeps up on us in the winter does not magically go away when the weather warms.

Of course you don’t need to fall into this winter weight gain category. Make sure you get in your exercise – even if you are snowed in, you can find great workout videos on YouTube or other places online. You can also learn to embrace winter sports such as skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and such. And of course, there is the gym. Brave the cold, go to the gym, and warm up!

One thing I do to keep the pounds from creeping up is to eat lighter at night during the winter months. Even though I am one of those people who tend to feel hungrier during those cold, dark nights, I have learned how to trick my body into thinking it is full and satisfied.

Soup is my best trick! Piping hot soup takes a while to eat. It takes about 20 minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to send signals to your tummy that it is full. So it stands to reason that if you eat slowly you will eat less and really hot soup is my answer.

My other trick is to incorporate spices into the food – hot peppers and such rev up your metabolism and who doesn’t want that?

Finally my biggest trick is flavor – lots and lots of flavor! If food is delicious you feel more satisfied even if you are eating less of it.

This Gluten Free Curry Noodle Soup Recipe has all these tricks. And another one – instead of using gluten free pasta for the noodles, I use Organic Adzuki Bean Spaghetti noodles from Explore Cuisine. Made from beans, they are higher in protein and fiber than most pastas, are grain-free, and filling.

Don’t be a sad statistic this winter! Eat more soup and gain fewer (or better yet, no) extra pounds.

    Hi Carol,
    Thanks for the recipe! I’m guessing coconut milk only comes in one size in America, so for the benefit of us Aussies, how many mL (or oz, I’ll convert) is a can of coconut milk?

      You’re welcome! One can is about 161 mL.

      xo,
