Weight Loss Wonder Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), chopped
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1/2 small cabbage, chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 medium carrot, sliced thinly (optional for low-carb)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (or bone broth for added protein)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz, with juice)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh spinach or kale leaves
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (for added flavor and metabolism boost)
Instructions
Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until they’re softened and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
Add Vegetables: Stir in the celery, bell pepper, zucchini, cabbage, broccoli, and carrot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the vegetable or bone broth and add the diced tomatoes (with juice). Add Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add Greens and Lemon Juice: Stir in the spinach or kale and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the greens are wilted. Add the lemon juice for a fresh, zesty finish.
Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot!
