Are soups a good way to lose weight?

Absolutely, vegetable soups especially are perfect for weight loss when they're made healthy and simple. Rich in nutrients and fibre that will nourish your body, they're mostly less in calories.

Well, like with most vegetables, this weight loss vegetable soup has a lot of good nutrients. I particularly chose these veggies so that you can get the best of their nutrients.

After the end of the year holidays, you need potassium if you indulged in salty food.
Potassium will regulate the sodium in the body. Sunchokes and sweet potato will provide you with enough potassium.
This vegetable soup is low in the glycemic index, making it perfect for weight loss.
Lots of high sugary food somehow end up killing the good bacteria in your gut. This vegetable soup is full of dietary fiber that will feed your good bacteria thus increasing their amount.
This weight loss soup is also low in carbohydrates, the sunchokes ( also known as Jerusalem artichoke) are not digested by our bodies, so their carbs go directly to your gut microbiome which will break them for food.

You'll love this weight loss soup as it's easy to make, really you don't have to stir up the vegetables. Just let them simmer on their own and you'll have a delicious vegetable soup to enjoy.

Turmeric in this vegetable soup will help you reduce inflammation while ginger will improve your digestion.

How to prepare leeks for this weight loss vegetable soup

It can be difficult to deal with leeks as they come with a lot of dirt!

If grown organically, and they are fresh, then you don't worry about eating some clean soil.

Clean soil is good for your microbiome.

For this weight loss soup, choose rather young leeks, they're thin and long with less green leaves.

Chop off the top greens and the base, keep them for a homemade vegetable broth.

Clean the leeks and cut small pieces diagonally. If you want them to maintain their shape like in the photos, then don't manipulate them.

Are vegetable skin healthy?

Vegetable skins are very healthy and sometimes hold most nutrients of a given plant. So consider eating the peels or making vegetable broths with them

In this recipe you don't have to peel the sunchoke, clean them well to remove sand.

For the sweet potato, it depends on how the skin looks like.

Fresh sweet potatoes have clean skin that is edible. However, if you get like the one in the photo, it's better to peel it off and add it to your vegetable broth.

I am looking forward to reading how you find this weight loss vegetable soup. Have you used sunchoke before? Leave me your comment.

A very happy and blessed New Year to you. I love you, Githu.
