It’s no secret that freezing temps make you reach for something warm and hearty when it comes to any mealtime. Luckily, that’s where soups can play a major part in your winter diet. Not only are they super filling, soups can also do wonders for weight loss. In fact, there are four specific detox soup recipes that even doctors swear by to shrink your waistline.
Soups are the perfect way to sneak in extra vitamins and nutrients. Not to mention, soups are also great for adding lots of vegetables to your daily diet. As a study reported by EatingWell reveals, people who choose to eat soups more often than those who choose not to eat soup are less likely to be overweight. Let’s dive into the four detox soups you should focus on this winter.
The first soup we recommend is this super green detoxifying broccoli soup from Abra’s Kitchen. Abra, a nutritionist, suggests putting the following nutrients into the soup: broccoli, onion, celery, garlic, turmeric, spinach, kale, nutritional yeast, and hemp seeds. Apart from aiding weight loss, broccoli also has anti-inflammatory effects.
Another great detoxifying soup is cabbage soup. According to Dr. Josh Axe, a cabbage soup diet can help you lose weight quickly. Dr. Axe warns that a diet of only cabbage soup and a few other ingredients would only result in losing water weight rather than achieving fat loss. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should rule out cabbage soup entirely. A full diet that includes cabbage soup and exercise can help move your weight loss journey along. We recommend this Spicy Cabbage Detox Soup recipe from This Savory Vegan.
Your next soup of choice should be a classic chicken noodle soup. This Chicken Detox Soup from A Spicy Perspective takes just under an hour to prepare which is perfect for meal prepping. This homemade soup is chock-full of fresh chicken, vegetables and ginger, so it can really do amazing things for both your metabolism and immune system.
Last but not least, we recommend a detoxifying lentil soup. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, lentils can help with weight loss because they are low in calories, filling and nutrient-dense. A great detox lentil soup recipe is from Clean & Delicious. This recipe takes only 10 minutes to prepare and one minute to cook. It is filled with yummy vegetables and protein that will keep you feeling satisfied all day long.
