Soup song


Recipe Introduction


Not unlike the cabbage soup diet, but heartier and even cooked in a little oil. It's a great soup and one that you should eat to excess to lose the maximum amount of weight, according to Raquel. Plus you're not on a strict regimen and can take breaks from it as your life demands. You also have a lot of discretion in its making--you decide what and how much. Make a big pot and demolish it...make another pot....


List of Ingredients




onions, sliced thin
1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
cooked beans
lentils or barley, soaked and rinsed
beef, vegetable, or chicken stock
cauliflower, chopped to bitesized pieces
cabbage, shredded
tomatoes, crushed or cut up (from the can)
corn, fresh or frozen
carrots, chopped
green peppers, diced
potatoes, cut in chunks
garlic, crushed
ginger, freshly grated or powdered
chili peppers, chopped
hot pepper sauce
cayenne pepper
salt and pepper



Recipe



In a large stock pot, heat the oil and sauté the onions until tender. Add the beans, lentils, and/or barley with stock to cover, bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer 20 minutes. Toss in the rest of the ingredients, bring to a boil with more stock, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are cooked but not too soft--about 30 minutes or so.
