Is there an ideal soup recipe for weight loss? Soup is often seen as an essential component, or at least particularly effective, to lose extra pounds. This statement should be qualified but is not false. It’s all about the ingredients and the pleasure …
What is a good weight loss soup recipe?
To be effective, a good weight loss soup recipe must be based on several elements. Soup is an essentially vegetable product: we put vegetables in more or less water, we reduce, we let it cook and we obtain a soup which must have 3 characteristics:
- it must be very rich in water,
- it must also be very rich in fiber,
- finally, it must also be very rich in vitamins.
Vegetable soup brings you all of these good things! Whether you make it at home or buy it in supermarkets, a good weight loss soup recipe should always follow these 3 criteria. As for vitamins, in order to preserve them as much as possible, do not boil your soup, simmer it between 70 and 90 degrees.
Once all this is together, for the soup to be effective in the context of weight loss, it is essential to choose the fats and other elements (bacon etc.) that will make it more greedy. Losing weight does not prevent pleasure!

Slimming soup … and greed!
For those who want to enhance their soup, several solutions exist. It might surprise you, but it is better to opt for the crème fraiche, which will have a maximum of 30% fat while retaining a certain flavor, rather than butter, which has 70%.
As part of a diet, you will still try to favor a sour cream with as little fat as possible. Remember, however, that you must also like your soup !
In this video, I speak on Europe 1 to better explain the value of soup when you want to lose weight:
But the real solution when you want to develop a recipe for weight loss soup that is both effective and tasty, these are the spices ! Examples: in a carrot soup, you will prefer cumin, for a spinach soup, you will add saffron etc. The key word is: experiment!
In general, remember this: as part of weight loss, to successfully limit fat, spices are your best allies. Thus, vegetables and spices are the two fundamental bases that allow soup to be a perfect slimming meal.
The legend of cabbage soup
Who has never heard of this recipe for weight loss soup? The legend widely spread on sites where word of mouth claims that Marlene Dietrich would be at the origin of this strange diet for having invented and practiced it herself.
Mixing a star with a slimming soup, how could the followers of the least magic recipe not crack? The truth is more prosaic and the origin of the recipe much more recent. I even think, and apologize, to be (despite me) at the origin of this revisited soup.
One day, the editor of the magazine Current wife asks me to compose an original diet in which it would be necessary to consume every night a different soup. For editorial purposes, we decide to highlight in the article one of these soups, the cabbage one.
In our mind, it is obvious that this soup, although put forward, is the appetizers of a full diet meal and not the entire meal itself. Why the cabbages? Because at the time I take care of a patient who plays in the famous movie Cabbage soup and that it amuses me to do justice to this vegetable then despised.
Then… the soup passed us. Many readers have taken this recipe straight up, isolating it from the rest of the meal offered., spoke of its effects, and word of mouth operated.
A magical thought is born, despite U.S. So much so that even today, many people continue to follow this diet, not knowing how much it must be associated with a balanced meal!
