Why a slimming soup?

Before we reveal the recipe for this magical soup, it’s important to understand why   soups   can be so effective for weight loss. Unlike solid foods, which can sometimes be difficult to digest, a well-prepared soup offers several benefits:

1. Low calorie content   : Vegetable-based soups are naturally low in calories, allowing you to eat generous portions without exceeding your recommended daily calorie intake.
   

   1. Satiety and feeling full   : Soups are high in water and fiber, which increases satiety and reduces cravings, allowing you to eat less throughout the day.

   2. Easier digestion   : Soup is easier to digest than solid food, allowing the body to absorb nutrients faster and detoxify the system.

   3. Increased metabolism   : Some soups can be prepared with ingredients that stimulate metabolism and thus promote fat burning.

   4. Fluid balance   : Soup contributes to good fluid balance, which is important for maintaining optimal metabolism and promoting weight loss.

   The recipe for slimming soup

   This soup is made with simple, natural ingredients, all with properties that support weight loss. It’s packed with fiber-rich vegetables, vitamins, and minerals, helping you feel fuller longer while boosting your metabolism. The recipe is easy to make and can be enjoyed at any time of the day, but it’s especially effective at dinner to stimulate overnight weight loss.

   Ingredients:

   • 2 carrots, sliced ​​into circles
   • 1 zucchini, diced
   • 1 onion, finely chopped
   • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
   • 1 stalk celery, cut into small pieces
   • 1 tomato, diced
   • 1 handful of kale or spinach leaves
   • 1 unsalted vegetable stock cube (or water if you prefer a milder taste)
   • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (to boost metabolism)
   • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (for healthy fats)
   • Salt and pepper, to taste
   • Fresh or dried herbs (thyme, basil, oregano) for seasoning

   Instructions:

   1. Prepare the vegetables   : Start by washing and cutting all the vegetables (carrots, zucchini, celery, tomatoes, etc.) into even-sized pieces so they cook evenly.

   2. Sauté onion and garlic   : Add olive oil to a large saucepan and sauté onion and garlic for about 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.

   3. Add the vegetables   : Add the carrots, zucchini, celery, and tomatoes to the pot, then mix well so that the vegetables are covered in oil and garlic.

   4. Add the broth   : Pour in enough vegetable broth to cover the vegetables (about 1 to 1.5 liters). You can also use water if you prefer a thinner soup.

   5. Seasoning   : Add herbs of your choice along with the apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar helps regulate blood sugar and boosts metabolism, which is important for weight loss.

   6. Simmer   : Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 25–30 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender.

   7. Add kale or spinach   : About 5 minutes before cooking is complete, add kale or spinach to give the soup more color and nutrition.

   8. Blending (optional)   : If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend the soup with an immersion blender. Otherwise, you can leave it as is for a chunkier soup with more vegetables.

   9. Adjust the seasoning   : Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper to your taste.

   10. Serving   : Serve warm, with a slice of whole grain bread to accompany the soup if you like, or eat it as is for an even lighter option.
