I'm not sure if you are allowed pearl barley soup mix for the cabbage soup diet but if you are then this the the veg soup I normally make. Bring a couple of handfulls of pearl barley soup mix to boil in veg stock and reduce to simmer. Add a bayleaf and bouquet garni for flavour.





Meanwhile, prepare and chop one leek, 3 carrots and 5 sticks of celery (i also like to use the leafy part of the celery as it is full of flavour). Add to the pot and cook until the veg are tender to your liking. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.





If you are not allowed pearl barley you could leave it out and use diced potato instead.
This one's pretty tasty. It's called Immune Power Soup and only has 90 calories. Hope you like it.

I have been getting soup recipes from the source listed below.
Onion soup is always good :)





Fry off onions with a pinch of sugar until a deep brown colour (not burnt but dark brown). Add to a point of onion stock (and a dash of brandy if you like that kind of thing) and keep the heat at just under boiling. Cover and leave for about 45 mins to infuse.





Meanwhile cut some french bread into slices, lay out on a baking tray, drizzle a little olive oil on each and bake at 180c for 20-25 mins. When done, take out and rub a slice of garlic clove all over the toast.





To serve, put soup in a heat proof bowl, lay the croutons (baked french bread) on top and throw over a generous handful of Gruyere cheese. Put under a hot grill until the cheese colours.





Watch when eating as the cheese can burn the mouth!





Hope you like it :)
To make soup %26gt;


Find a vegetable or mix of vegetables you like and boil in a pan with a stock cube till cooked! Avoid any vegetable that breaks down quickly or cook them in larger sized pieces.





Live on it for more than a week and you'll lose weight and also any friends you might have, it's not just cabbage that causes nasty smelling wind! Live on it too long and you'll be suffering from lots of other problems too including malnutrition, as the human body is not designed to live on mainly liquid diets, and vegetables contain a lot of fibre which cannot be digested! As soon as you stop the diet you'll regain the weight and perhaps even gain more!


To be slim %26gt;


Just learn to eat healthily and everything in moderation and exercise more and let your body find it's own weight level. Watch how naturally slim people eat. I've never dieted in my life and have weighed the same give or take a few pounds (apart from when pregnant and the increase was less than a stone and gone within a week of the births) since I was 16, I'm talking over 40 years!

I had this last night and it was fantastic. I don't even like half of the ingrediants, but I loved this soup. My mother is ill with the flu and it did her the world of good.


If you are making it and want to get rid of a cold or flu, I would recommend an extra clove of garlic.





Hope you all enjoy this as much as I do!!!








It's not exactly clear, but it is REALLY good, you have to be into tomatoes though as this is what it is like!
