-
In a large pot, brown ground turkey or cook chopped chicken. There should be very little fat, is there is fat, drain.
Add in onion, garlic, peppers, and mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients, except cilantro and parsley. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in cilantro and parsley.
This soup freezes really well. Makes 12-14 cups. 1 serving is about 2 cups and is about 275 calories.
Cook this soup on the stove top or it would be great made in a slow cooker. I am going to give it a try in the Instant Pot. Cooking it for 8 mins on high pressure.
Why this weight loss soup diet really works!
Here is why:
- Lean Protein
Protein curbs the appetite and can boost post meal metabolism by 25% and stimulates fat burning hormones.
- Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and other natural acids that help your liver break down fat faster.
- Beans
Bean can stabilize blood sugar which reduces the number of fat storage hormones our bodies make.
- Onions
Onions are loaded with chromium, which also helps with fat storage hormones.
- Cayenne
Cayenne kicks up the heat and kicks up the metabolism up to 20%. If you don’t have cayenne pepper throw in about 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Garlic
Garlic might actually keep pre-fat cells turning into fat cells.
- Cilantro and Parsley
These herbs help flush toxins from your system.
- Mushrooms
Mushrooms provide protein, vitamin C and iron.
- Bell Peppers
Bell peppers contain beta-carotene, which gives you antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits
Did you know just eating 2 ounces of cooked tomatoes (the amount in a serving of this yummy soup) can reduce bad cholesterol by up to 10%? As you can see this soup is good for you any time not just when you need to lose a few pounds. I often make it to keep on hand for a quick lunch that keeps me satisfied all day!
