Vegetable Weight Loss Soup

My vegan vegetable soup...

...no meat stock like many veggie soups use...

I use the soup straight, or over rice, with added pasta, or as a burrito filling (drained of course.) I even make snacks for my dog with it - a slice of bread with my soup on top... who knew a dog would like that so much?

The name of the game is *experimentation*. If you make this soup, be prepared to create your own unique blend. Follow your instincts and inspirations - that's what I do. Add whatever veggies and spices you like. Use what you have handy.

Remember that a soup made with love is the best soup of all.

Vegan Vegetable Weight Loss Soup

...almost everything here is optional - except the water!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coconut oil or whatever natural oil you prefer
oregano to taste
salt to taste
pepper to taste
kelp flakes to taste
1 tablespoon liquid aminos - miso - or soy sauce
1 large clove garlic chopped
1/2 medium onion chopped
3 carrots sliced in thin circles
2 potatoes chopped into small pieces
water to cover all veggies plus two or three inches more
1 cup lentils rinsed
2 heads broccoli with brocoli flower stems cut short and cut into small pieces
2 small zucchini sliced thin
3 to 5 mushrooms sliced

Instructions

Put the oil into your soup pan and as you warm it, add the carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, spices, and liquid aminos, miso, or soy sauce. Use medium heat, warm and stir veggies for about ten minutes. Add water, lentils, broccoli, zucchini, and mushrooms, plus any other ingredients you have on hand that you think might work well in this soup. Bring to a boil and cover, then reduce heat to very low and let cook for another hour. Check on your soup and stir from time to time to make sure it has enough water. You might need to add some.

Vegan Vegetable Weight Loss Soup

Oil for your vegan vegetarian weight loss soup.

...I prefer coconut oil, or olive oil.

I use olive oil or coconut oil. If you love the taste of olive oil, why not? You don't actually get very much in the finished product, per meal.

I hope that you are doing well! Just wanted to tell you about this cool new video that I just watched from my new friend and respected colleague, Dr Charles. In it, he reveals a very unusual tip for a flatter belly in just 3 to 10 days. I watched it, thought it was brilliant, and figured you might find it very helpful too.

I hope that this was short and sweet enough for ya. Have an amazing day!!

P.S. Once more, the video link for this weird tip is:

. But if you're obsessive about weight loss, coconut oil might be a better choice for you.

I use about two tablespoons, and stir the carrots/onions until they are covered with it. This is when I turn the heat on.. keeping it very low while the onions and carrots warm up. I used to saute just the onions first - then add carrots. I quit doing that because the onions made me cry!

Garlic for your vegan vegetarian weight loss soup

...sometimes I leave it out.

Sometimes I leave out the garlic because my boyfriend doesn't like it. If you like it, peel and chop a few cloves of garlic and toss them into the soup pot. Or, you could add garlic powder.

What I often do: when I heat soup for myself, I fill a soup mug with it and sprinkle garlic powder on top, then stir it in.

Spices for your vegan vegetable soup

...oregano is my favorite.

I have oregano growing in my garden and add it fresh to all my soups during the growing season. I also freeze some for the rest of the year. Oregano goes with basil... why not add both?

If there are any other spices you have and love, why not add them too? You can make this soup truly your own by experimenting a bit with the ingredients.

Water for your vegan vegetable soup

...I always use spring water.

My boyfriend goes to a spring nearby to collect spring water for us. That's what I'm using in my soup right now. Yes, obviously I'm a little picky about water too... I love spring water... I often buy it bottled.

If you're sure your tap water is okay, then use that instead. I just like to avoid fluoride and chlorine.
