Diet soup with vegetable broth is what we need after the New Year holidays to restore bowel function and cleanse the body. Soups are great slimming dishes. They saturate us, warm us, and at the same time are low in calories and nutritious.

Vegetable broth is an excellent base for soup, and you can cook it from almost anything - it all depends on your taste and preferences:
- onion;
- carrot;
- pepper;
- cabbage;
- green peas and green beans;
- tomatoes;
- potatoes;

Vegetable soup can also be used as a real staple for your diet. The so-called "Bonn" puree soup is very popular, because it helps to get rid of excess weight rather quickly. In addition, soups are very easy to prepare and can be cooked immediately for a week, or they can be cooked and frozen, which will significantly save you time.
There is a so-called "base" broth. Its basis: potatoes, carrots, garlic, celery stalks, onions, herbs. Put the vegetables in boiling water, salt and pepper to taste. It is better not to overuse seasonings - the broth thus turns out to be aromatic and very tasty. Cook the broth for about two hours, then filter it, turn the vegetables into mashed potatoes, mix the components and mix thoroughly.
Add chopped cabbage, green beans, carrots, onions, tomato paste and herbs to the broth, cook for about half an hour (until the beans are ready) - you get an excellent soup with only 61 calories per serving. Agree, impressive. Soups should be eaten daily - this is the key to proper digestion.
Rules and Tips for Making Diet Vegetable Soups
Diet soups do not have to be cooked in vegetable broths. To make the soup more nutritious, use dietary meats - chicken, beef, pork, turkey. The broth meat can then be eaten alone or with a vegetable side dish
The use of bouillon cubes is allowed - they will make the soup more aromatic, but you should still be careful with them, because such seasonings contain many artificial ingredients that are not always healthy.
If you cook soup with beans or cereals, you can pre-soak them - this will significantly speed up the cooking process. Seasonings, including herbs and garlic, are best added directly to the plates.
And finally, let's talk about the fact that diet soup is a separate dish. If you want to lose weight, you should only eat soup - soup without bread, without mayonnaise and without sour cream. Sometimes you can afford a slice of black bread, according to the concept, dietary soup and mayonnaise are definitely incompatible.
