Here's another soup to add to your list of high protein low carb lunch ideas. This is especially delicious with the goodness of barley.

A few things before we start:

• I oven baked my chicken breasts, plain- no salt no pepper, for 30 minutes at 180 degree celsius.
• I used reconstituted chicken stock from a cube.
• Instead of leeks one could use arugula, which better reputed for being nutritious. 
• Spinach goes well in this recipe too.

I wish to start a new trend in my blog - Low Carb- High Protein food. In the coming weeks I will be exploring more in to this theme and would love for you'all to join me in this venture.

I've come to realise that many of the traditional food from the land of Kerala are high in protein when used in the right combinations. Take for example the breakfast foods like puttu kadala and dosa sambhar. Out ancesters have married the carb in puttu with the protein in the gram whilst the batter for dosa itself is a beautiful combination of carb and protein.
