Let me know how it goes! There is some potato in there, too, so yeah, definitely does have some carbs in there. But the majority of the soup is broccoli. Also, feel free to use dairy instead of the almond milk of course, but almond milk is kind of a neat ingredient in there because it's so low in calories!
I would make it with dairy milk if I were making it for the kids and I, as DS is allergic to nuts. But I buy the 40 calorie unsweetened almond milk for myself.... I actually like it better than dairy in EVERYTHING except coffee. For some reason it is icky in coffee.
I have learned SO MANY THINGS on ANTM but that is a first!
Sometimes when I'm having a day at work where I get whiny to myself, I kind of channel Tyra and she tells me not to make excuses. Oh yeah, and to smile with my eyes. "Not like
... Like
Do you see what I did there????" Hahahhahahha. Let me know how it goes! Umeboshi is a great, versatile vinegar to have on hand.
It was in the early years of ANTM. The girls were somewhere in Asia and had to do a mock commercial for a local product and it was the umeboshi plums. None of them liked the taste, but one girl actually spit it out and was read the riot act by Tyra later for being rude to the locals. Anyhow, the word UMEBOSHI kind of sticks with you!
LOVE your smilie face rendition of Tyra talking about the "smize"! Had me LOL!
I know that there have been a couple of suggestions here to stay focused on reducing your stress so that you can reduce your stress eating--and I can't agree with that more! It is so time consuming to exercise away over-eating, so if you can figure out what will help you keep your eating on plan, that is probably the more efficient way to stay in control.
I know that I stress-eat a lot of the time to kind of let myself off the hook a little, because there are SO MANY IMPORTANT THINGS and I'm looking for a way to tell myself that it's ok, this moment isn't deathly important, you can loosen up.
So the very act of breaking an obligation feels relaxing, but instead of breaking an obligation that will actually free up time and make me happy, I break an obligation that I've made to myself that already DOES make me happy!
So I know your hands are more than full, but try to have a little "toolkit" of ideas for yourself when you know stress eating is coming on.
I personally start by kind of self-soothing, which sounds corny but it often is all it takes. Since I've discovered that I stress-eat to lighten the moment and make myself feel like there isn't so much at stake, I start off by telling myself that it's ok, I'm doing a good job at helping other people, it doesn't have to be perfect. Then, if that doesn't work, I try to find other ways I can indulge myself that don't involve food, like taking a break from whatever I'm doing, reading a trashy magazine or putting on music I enjoy, doing a crossword puzzle, or just stepping outside for 5 minutes. And if that absolutely doesn't work, then I stop, take out my plan for the day, figure out how to put the splurge food on my plan, and just give in. This is in addition to other preventative tools I have, like having packed a healthy snack, trying to plan my day realistically to minimize stress in the first place, etc. etc..
Putting quality time into thinking about exactly what sets you off, exactly what your thought process is, and exactly what kinds of interventions might help you avoid giving in might take the same time as a 30 minute workout, but it might pay off a lot more in the long run. This is actually very similar to how therapists help people control "uncontrollable" behavior in Anger Management groups!!
Anyway, just an idea, but I know that a 30 second bad decision can lead to 30 minutes of working out, and it's more time effective to just figure out how to avoid the bad decision if you're only looking at it from a net calorie loss perspective.
Great suggestions/ideas. Really gave us ALL something to think about!
With your litany of crazy things going on in your life, THIS is the thing that jumped out at me as being by FAR the most serious!!!
I hope you got through the day intact and you've got something good planned for your husband for his birthday!
I broke my ankle years ago and had to have it put back together surgically as well. I have over a dozen screws and the plate still attached. I did about 9-10 weeks in a cast and the same amount of time in PT so 4 months is optimistic. 
... but recovered when we were back to calmer waters!). In the calm waters, you could jet ski, parasail, kayak, board surf and bounce on a water trampoline. I did it all! As I was pulling myself onto the jet ski, I kept telling myself this would have been very hard to do last year. What an awesome feeling!
I often come home from the week at the lake up anywhere from 3-6 pounds! Then it takes me a month or more to get back to where I was! I get right back OP but the weight just DOESN'T drop off like it used to when I was younger. 
Nice job on the weight loss!!!!
