I adore my ‘Lose a Kilo Soup‘.
You see, I’m not a fan of diets. In my opinion, they just don’t work. Plus I really like to eat, and it has to be tasty and delicious.
I make huge batches of this soup and freeze it during the colder months. Not only is it full of iron, I’ve also discovered it has another benefit – I always lose weight! Of course I’ll replace a meal with this soup, but I know it is healthy, hearty and tasty.
I prefer mine unblended because I like the chunks – but you can blend it up if you wish! For added protein, add a few slices of poached chicken breast!
Method
-
Cut the broccoli into florets and slice the cabbage.
-
Thinly slice the onion and the carrot and mince the garlic clove.
-
Heat oil spray in a pan and sweat onion, carrot and garlic for ten minutes until soft and sweet.
-
Add broccoli, spinach, cabbage and chicken stock.
-
Bring to a simmer then stir in the lentils.
-
Simmer for 25 minutes or until the lentils are tender, then season well.
-
For a blended, smooth soup - Pour into a food processor. Blend until smooth then serve.
-
For a chunky, unblended soup - serve it up as is!
