Ten Soups that are Ideal when Dieting


When you are dieting, you can safely think in terms of soups. There are many delicious soups that you can concoct to lead a healthy life. Tiffany Tse is a Lifestyle writer with a focus on healthy living. She writes regularly for Shape Magazine. She firmly believes that soups can provide ample nutrition when you are dieting. She has compiled eleven ideal soups for people to eat regularly when they diet. 1. Lentil Chili Soup – This is a healthy stew and the fiber rich lentils that are low in fat keep the calorie count in control. Spice could be added with a little dash of chili powder. This recipe is provided by Maris Callahan who is a writer for `Diets in Review’. 2. Mushroom and Barley Soup – You can use nutty grains of barley to get that chewy texture and mushrooms would be able to satisfy as a low calorie treat. This is one of Tiffany Tse’s favorite dieting soups. 3. Red Pepper Bisque – You can shop for crisp and sweet bell peppers and yellow onions. Liquefy them into a colored puree. This will be full of antioxidants and the concoction can turn into a healthy meal with an addition of mixed greens and whole grains. This recipe is also provided by Maris Callahan from `Diets in Review’. 4. Chicken Zucchini and Potato Soup – Good chunks of potato, chicken breast and zucchini make up this stew and it is ideal for a cold day. The vegetables make this stew a filling one. This recipe was taken by Tse from Chris Powell who is a trainer from Extreme Makeover. 5. Crème de Tomate – This is a simple one and must have been made numerous times at home. It is better to make fresh at home than rely on the canned soups. You can chop, roast, simmer and blend the tomatoes to give that silky mélange touch with the combination of onions and red peppers. The recipe remains one of Tse’s top few when dieting. 6. Turkey Rice Soup – When you want to make use of some leftovers, brown rice and turkey cooked in chicken broth with some frozen mixed vegetables can give you a “mouth watering, robust gumbo” as per Tiffany Tse. 7. Spaghetti Squash Noodle Soup – This a low carb combination with strips of spaghetti squash noodles mixed with onions and potatoes. Cook the spaghetti squash and then bake it. Prepare vegetables in a pot and heat with olive oil. Add the squashed noodles and cook for about ten minutes. This recipe was supplied to Tse by `Veg Obsession’. 8. Chicken and Dumplings Soup – This is usually high in calories and sodium but can be turned into a healthy recipe with many nourishing vegetables for a stew and whole wheat pastry flour for the crisp dumplings. This recipe has been provided by the `Gracious Pantry’. 9. Moroccan Chickpea Stew – Tender chickpeas will give this stew a nutritious pep. The chickpea nuggets will be full of protein and fiber and can serve as a filling addition to any meal. Cook the chickpeas in tomato sauce and let it boil. You can add frozen spinach and noodles to the stew. The recipe has been provided by `Gluten Freedom’. 10. Minestrone – This soup is low in carbohydrates and calories. It is made with potatoes, corn, carrots, tomatoes, white beans and lentils. As with the Crème de Tomate, this soup will provide you with lycopene. It will add fiber, protein and iron to your diet. This combo has been supplied to Tiffany Tse by `Young Married Chic’.
