Green Chile Stew (Diabetic-Friendly) image

This is a recipe that I modified when my husband was diagnosed with diabetes. In the past I added potatoes, which cooked apart and thickened the stew. But since white potatoes were out of our diet, I needed something to thicken it. I read that oatmeal is great for thickening soup, so I gave it a try...it worked like a charm! Makes 4 generous servings at 4 WW points per serving.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces lean pork roast, cubed
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon oil (I use safflower)
3 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth (I use low-fat)
1 medium onion, chopped
3 (4 ounce) cans whole green chilies, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel Tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can hominy, drained
1/2 cup quick oats
3 garlic cloves, crushed
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Combine flour with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly dust cubed pork with flour.
  • Brown pork in hot oil over medium-high heat until browned.
  • Add chicken broth, onion, green chiles, Rotel tomatoes, hominy, oats & garlic.
  • Salt & pepper to taste.
  • Bring to a boil and simmer 3 to 4 hours. I usually cover the soup until the last hour, then remove the lid so the soup will cook down a little.
