2. Get a large saucepan and pour in your spice mix. Let everything simmer over low heat until a pleasant scent begins to emerge.
3. Chop the assortment of green leafy vegetables then add them to the pan, mix them with the spices.
4. Pour in a cup of your vegetable broth and let everything simmer quietly for 15 to 20 minutes, having taken care to put the lid on the pan.
5. Once the vegetables begin to turn translucent, you add what is left of the broth and the other vegetables. Now cook for ten minutes.
6. Now you need to pour the last part of the ingredients into the pan, namely the root vegetables that you had steamed separately. Don’t forget, however, to add a little water to the mixture right after. The amount of water you put in depends on the degree of consistency you want to achieve. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes and you’re done!

What is the Soup Diet?

Born in an American hospital, the soup diet was (originally) offered to obese patients before their surgery.

Soup diet, kezako? The soup diet is above all a hypocaloric diet, that is to say that one restricts the number of calories consumed per day in order to “force” the body to draw on its fat reserves. The soup diet thus offers 7 days at around 800 Kcal.

As its name suggests, the soup diet is based on daily consumption of vegetable soups, at every meal except breakfast. We gradually combine lean meats (chicken, turkey, veal, etc.), fruits and vegetables (seasonal and fat-free: no butter, no whipped cream) and lean fish (cod, hake, monkfish, etc.) .

In total, the soup diet lasts 7 days. The promise ? A dazzling weight loss of – 5 kilos in just one week!
