Sounds about right Canna...I'm 6'3" 235
That "higher" dose should fix him
and it takes 45mins for me on an empty stomach, otherwise it takes me up to 1-2 hrs with or after a heavy meal.
I made a Curried chicken and wild rice soup with 1/3cup of butter to a full pot last weekend.
We served in breadbowls about 1.5 cups of soup per serving.....I have never been so MEDICATED ever in my life...I had bed spins for a couple hrs too
Creamy Curried Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
INGREDIENTS
½ cup butter (I used 1/3c of Medicated butter)
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
½ – 1 cup frozen corn
½ cup chopped celery
½ cup carrots, sliced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed(I used boned thighs)
½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
¾ cup all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups "cooked" wild rice(I used a wild blend from bulk bins in grocery store)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup slivered almonds: optional (I did not add almonds)
2 cups nonfat half-and-half (use normal half-and-half if you prefer, but you won’t believe how delicious this is with the nonfat variety!)
DIRECTIONS
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, celery, corn, chicken and carrots and sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through. Add the mushrooms and sauté 3-4 more minutes. Then add flour and stir well. Over medium heat, gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly. Bring the soup just to a boil and then reduce heat to low and let simmer, while stirring, for 5-6 minutes, until it has thickened slightly.
Next, add salt, curry powder, mustard powder, parsley, ground black pepper and almonds. Allow all the ingredients to heat through and then pour in the half-and-half. Let the soup gently simmer for about 10-12mins stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, then add the "PRE COOKED" rice, and simmer stir another 10 mins. The soup should not boil but should simmer over low heat so that it thickens slowly.
