The ultimate satisfying weight-loss soup I think it’s a happy coincidence that January is not only national soup month, but also the peak of people’s efforts to lose weight. Research shows that soups can help you lose weight: in one study, published in the journal Physiology & Behavior, people consumed the fewest calories on days when they ate soup rather than the same ingredients in solid form. Soup has a high water content, which can help you feel full. Broth-based soups packed with veggies give you the biggest bang for your caloric buck. And, just like salad, soup is a good vehicle for vegetables (the fiber in vegetables also promotes feelings of fullness for few calories). And in a study published in Appetite, people who started lunch with vegetable soup ended up eating 20 percent less than those who skipped the soup.

Abuela's Sopa de Avena con Pollo (Grandma's Chicken and Oat Soup) recipe on Food52.com Author Notes: While living in Spain, I dated a man whose best attribute was his grandmother's cooking. She had been a naturopath and good heavens, she made Sunday lunches an absolute joy! I remember once when I had a cold, my-once-upon-a-time prince pulled a couple of containers of her "Avena" from the freezer, thawed them out and served them for dinner. I was never able to procure the recipe from his grandmother, but this is a pretty good approximation.

Let stand 20 minutes. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Chicken Lentil Soup — Dinner Recipes from The Kitchn For me, especially when I'm focusing on my health or losing weight, there is nothing more comforting than having many containers of this nourishing, delicious, filling lentil soup with chicken stashed away in the freezer. Lentil soup is actually the very first dish I learned to cook, and I am still amazed at how easy it is to make something so much better than you get from a can. I'm also sentimental about this soup, so it will probably always be among my favorite things to make. I do prefer using bacon fat here—I spend extra on premium bacon so I always strain and save the rendered fat for making this soup. The smoky flavor it brings to the soup is a great complement to the earthy lentils, but butter and olive oil also work well. For a vegetarian version, just leave out the chicken and bacon fat (use olive oil instead). Chicken Lentil Soup Serves 8 to 10 Melt the bacon fat or butter in the bottom of a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic.

Coconut Curry Squash Soup When I first got to the Twin Cities I was enamored with co-ops. I got a job cooking at one as I settled into the new city. We put out a couple of vegan options alongside the other food in the hot bar everyday. It was all priced per pound….$7.99 a pound for ready-to-eat, hot organic food. Not bad if you don’t have the time to cook and are hungry. One particular woman was interested in the squash, simply roasted with salt and pepper. What came out of it though is the feeling that maybe something as simple squash can be prepared perfectly and worth much more to someone else. The garnish is an Asian play of the classic Italian gremolata. I’ll never forget the day I watched a woman pay $48 for 6 pounds of roasted butternut squash. Coconut Curry Squash Soup{gluten-free, vegan} Makes just over one quart of soup 4 onions, diced 2 large squash (use anything from kuri to kambocha to butternut) 2 tablespoons curry 2 tablespoons salt 1 can coconut milk

Coconut Broccoli Soup A few weeks ago we saw broccoli soup on a menu. It was the first time Matthew told me not to order something I really wanted. “I’ll make it for you,” he said.
