Weight Loss Soup

Recipe Description

This Weight Loss Soup has all kinds of spring vegetables and spices, like garlic, ginger, cayenne, and turmeric, which will help boost your metabolism and fight off spring colds. A delicious, light, yet filling soup that matches a low-carb diet. Perfection!

Start with the broth. Sauté the aromatics in a little olive oil until they start to release their fragrance and become translucent, this takes about 20 minutes. Then add the spices, broth, pureed tomatoes, and a splash of mild vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook gently for 45 minutes. Once ready, strain the broth. Use it right away, or keep it in a mason jar in the fridge. Alternatively, transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze until needed. To make the soup, bring the broth to a simmer and add all the vegetables and mushrooms except for the cabbage. Cook gently until the veggies are tender, then stir in the cabbage and remove from the heat. Let the soup sit for a few minutes before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Enjoy!
