BREAD/ SANDWICHES/ TOSTADA (IP Soup): For those who enjoy the waffles/ waffle sandwiches, here is an even easier way to make unrestricted bread from your soups. There are lots of variations for this, so you are limited only by your creativity.

Note that the taste isnt exactly bread, but this is a wonderful treat for those who have been on the diet for a while and crave some kind of sandwich or tortilla for their veggies. I personally do not add meat to this, as I dont usually mix my IP package foods with my proteins. However, if you want to add a very small portion of meat to this, remember to take that amount away from your protein meal later in the day.

Ingredients:
Egg whites (beaten) from 2 large or 3 small eggs
1 package IP Soup (I have used Chicken, Leek, and Tomato. All were great)
1 tsp baking powder
Spices to taste (For example, thyme, pepper, garlic powder)
OPTIONAL: 1 tsp olive oil (I use this, but its not mandatory)
OPTIONAL: I use 1/4 to 1/2 packet of sweetener (Truvia/ Splenda) if I am using a large amount of dried herbs to cut the bitter aftertaste. However, I recommend NOT adding it the first time you make this.

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200 C.
2. Beat egg whites (doesnt have to be stiff...just well mixed)
3. Add in IP Soup package and baking powder. mix until blended.
4. Add in spices to taste.
5. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
6. Using a spatula, scoop out the dough and spread onto the paper in a rectangle shape. (See picture) Should not be too thin.
I let this rise for about 5 minutes, but its not mandatory.
7. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until desired doneness.
