Slimming Soup
Slimming soup is both delicious and therapeutic. Besides the fact that it is low in calories, it ramps up the metabolism providing fiber for perfect digestion and elimination, anti-inflammatory vegetables and spices, cardio-protective onions, and garlic, and protein to stabilize blood sugar. This is a fantastic soup to have on hand. You can vary it anyway you want by adding different spices, and seasonal vegetables. And if you do not want meat, just make a vegetable broth by sautéing the onions, and garlic and adding the veggies of your choice.
