1. Diet Soup Recipes
Eating soup regularly as part of a balanced meal is a great way to start off a healthy
diet plan. If prepared healthily using low-fat, high-fiber and preferably organic
ingredients, it can even take the place of an entire meal! In fact, a diet was invented
that revolves around the consumption of cabbage soup every day for seven days.
Each day would call for the consumption of a certain food group plus as much cabbage
soup as you wish. This became quite popular as it promised the dieter ten pounds
shed in just one week.
If cabbage is not your favorite and you want more variety, take your favorite chowder,
goulash and sukiyaki and transform it to healthier dishes. Consider using leaner cuts
of meat; opting for low-sodium broth (or better yet make it yourself); not using
monosodium glutamate and adding organic vegetables, fresh herbs and spices.
French onion soup uses a very flavorful beef broth base with a crusty cheese topping.
Asian hot and sour soup though containing a lot of vegetables also has a considerable
amount of meats like liver and dried sausages. Japanese sukiyaki has thinly sliced fatty
beef with tofu, mushrooms and vegetables in a sweet soya base. Needless to say,
these dishes can go overboard with the fat, sodium and cholesterol content. Consider
this every time you make your own at home.
Unless you are vegetarian or vegan, by all means incorporate reasonable amounts of
meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs and dairy to your soup to increase protein as well as
provide substance, flavor and texture. Go for low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-carb, high-
fiber, high-protein ingredients.
Incorporate complex carbohydrates from vegetables to provide natural roughage
promoting gastro-intestinal health. Do not overcook your vegetables and add them
last just before serving to preserve nutrients and texture.
Feeling adventurous? Try preparing raw vegan soups using dark leafy greens, root
crops and other wholesome ingredients. Make sure you use organic ingredients as
you will not be cooking them. Raw soups are full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants
not to mention live enzymes which are key elements to good health.

2. Lastly, consider some simple replacements: using low fat milk, soy or nutmilks instead
of cream; lean meat cuts or vegemeat instead of processed, high sodium meat
products like sausages; sea salt instead of iodized.
