Instructions
I like to use vegetables that don’t completely break down and hold some texture, but you can use any combination of veggies you like.
All of the ingredients in this soup are extremely low in calories, so it’s great to have on hand anytime you’re dieting. Soup is satisfying, filling and takes a long time to eat, which makes it the perfect diet food. Grab a bowl anytime you feel hungry or have a craving. Anytime I need to drop a few pounds or feel the need to cleanse my body, I’ll make a pot of this and replace as many meals as I can with it. I’ll usually start my day with oatmeal, because my body needs the protein, and I’ll eat the soup for lunch and dinner. If I want to snack, I’ll either have more soup or air-popped popcorn. This is a VERY low calorie way of eating, and I do not suggest doing it for any longer than the soup lasts, which is usually about 4-5 days for me.
This soup is also packed full of nutrients! Many of the vegetables used in this recipe are considering some of the healthies foods you can eat and help shed excess water weight (bloat). While crunchy vegetables help – err – keep things moving, further helping to cleanse your digestive tract.
