Souping:
Introduction
The juice cleanse has long been in the mainstream of modern health food, growing in bounds from its previous place in the secret caches of health gurus and yogis. These days everyone is aware of the virtues of fresh fruits and vegetables and the irreplaceable anti-oxidants they can supply. Even the corner gas station is today’s supplier of fresh-pressed juices.
But now a new craze is quickly obsessing with the health virtuosos of America! The concept of souping is pretty basic — instead of consuming
versions of the kale and carrot and beet recipes, some ‘soupy’ additions are thrown into the mix, like chicken broth and broccoli puree. However, the entire ‘souping’ enterprise still ‘boils down’ to a basic liquid diet.
And of course the marketing behind it
preaches nourishment and not deprivation. Instead of using plastic or glass bottles of juice, many of the soups are presented in appealing bowls and perhaps decorated with an attractive organic garnish. And the soups can be served hot or cold and can tout their organic ingredients. And instead of losing the vegetable pulp or the fiber you’re getting the entire vegetable.
Also it ends up being much more cost effective since there is no necessity to buy expensive and up-to-date juicers with all the bells and whistles. Another appeal of souping is the multitude of recipes available on the Internet or recipe books that can be replaced with organic veggies and fresh vegetable juices.
Five days of soup sounds more do-able and attractive than guzzling down green liquid kale and cauliflower for the same amount of time. But for folks who undoubtedly screw up their faces at the mere thought of drinking your vegetables but find warm savory soup to be infinitely more appealing plus still get
the benefit of the cleanse, the appeal of souping seems to make a lot of sense.
When you decide to heal yourself via juicing- hunger is a daily shadow and no matter how many jars of kale and carrot you end up consuming. And your uncomfortable stomach will torture you with its rumblings. It is used to nourishment in the form of solid foot so, in this way, souping introduces some actual bulk into the mix including actual fiber and protein that should put a curb on that appetite for hours. If you have managed, in the past, to survive a five-day juice cleanse, souping may seem like a veritable breeze.
Winter invites the right feel for souping
as the thought of warmth from a bowl is very appealing. The brusque weather already dictates to our psyche to eat warm, comforting foods so the thought of making thick stews into thick and colorful bisques is not a stretch. In actual fact, the deliciousness of the cleanse definitely lessens the sacrifice and some people may actually look forward to it. Not many people will rush to do something if it is not appealing.
But the variety of soups now available from every day to the more exotic ones like curried lentil and kale, wild mushroom bisque and Moroccan chickpea and tomato might not sound like something that you’d look forward
to on a “cheat day” but they are superbly alluring in themselves. Plus, when you actually make the soup at home you can incorporate the flavors of your personal tastes, not to mention individual and flavor-inducing spices and therefore, customize the end product to your liking.
And more to the point is the undeniable fact that getting more vegetables into the diet is a super way to get a power punch of nutrients and antioxidants that you probably would never get otherwise. Plus the fact that Flu season is still here and those germs are on the lookout for any run-down soul with low resistance, it is of superb wisdom to probably get a little more vitamin C and manganese, B
vitamins, magnesium, etc. from all the vegetables. But keep in mind that souping is simply being used as a cleanse when it is incorporated singly into the diet. It is also a darn wonderful unit of gourmet food when eaten before a meal or with other food as well.
Just eating better is actually a viable alternative to depriving oneself of bulk and fiber, as it is in actual juicing. It’s not our natural inclination to drink our meals, no matter how healthy the juice concoction is. As a quick cleanse it works well but the recipient quickly loses interest and goes into a “When will this be done? -mode.”
The truth is that if we eat a veggie-loaded, well-combined diet on a regular, daily basis and at the right times with no
late night binges or bags of cookies, our bodies will be able to actually go through its own natural cleanse without all the liquid.
To accelerate from eating no or very little vegetables to eating a load of them is almost a natural cleanse on its own. That is a good first step. Fine tuning it to eating so much more vegetables as you incorporate other healthy habits, raises the bar to a cleanse.
It has been said that everyone needs to detox and rest their body occasionally, but the select few who always eat a balanced diet, high in organic fruits and vegetables, devoid of excess sugar and fats, necessitate minimum detoxification
Proper souping is a less intensive, less extreme method of detoxifying our well-worked bodies.
What is souping?
Souping is a satisfying and delicious way to cleanse and infuse your body with tons of nutrients without the cold, impersonal method of drinking down cold juices.
How does it work?
Simple. Just make some batches of veggie-loaded soups and eat only these soups for a period of a few days. This allows your body to rest and get rid of toxins. It should also add notable energy to your step as you go.
Souping is more cost efficient. Have you ever found yourself paying $60 at the Organic Food counter only to be able produce a few glasses of green goddess homemade juice, you will understand the high cost of juicing. And then just to toss all that pulp? It can be almost heart-breaking. Soups are remarkably more inexpensive with absolutely no waste.
Souping has less sugar than juicing.
During the juicing process, the natural sugars of the fruit or vegetable will become concentrated in the juice whereas there is much less natural sugar
in vegetables and that sugar will stay with the fiber which will reduce the amount you are absorbing.
Souping needs no special equipment.
There is no need to have to purchase an expensive juicer with all the components and features- you just need a large saucepan with a lid.
Soup is so easy to store. An added benefit comes in the fact that you can easily store your homemade soups in the refrigerator for up to four or five days and up to 4-6 months in the freezer making the whole venture more sustainable.
Souping retains the fiber of the vegetable. When you don’t have to throw
out the bulk of the vegetable as you do with the pulp of the fruit you hold on to a good part of the fiber. So, not only providing your body with a wide variety of nutrients and minerals, souping retains the fiber and the integrity of the vegetable. And don’t forget that you can add barley, quinoa, brown rice and fiber rich potatoes to the mix to add even more fiber.
And since fiber supports detoxification, that fact is a very good thing. Soluble fiber will aid and promote successful movement of the feces through the intestines and colon, as it binds many of the toxins in the bowel. This improves elimination.
Souping is mentally less challenging to sustain than juicing. Because souping is more appealing it becomes more natural for the person doing the cleanse to participate. Souping is also kinder to your body and your mind. Naturally, it takes a bit of time for foods to travel to our stomachs and for our psyches to register that sensation of fullness. Juices are ingested quickly and take hardly any time to travel through the digestive system so rarely do you get that full feeling from juicing. Thicker more concentrated food takes a good deal more time to digest. It can be critical to weight management, as well, to experience that sensation of fullness. It
also leads to better assimilation of nutrients from the food.
It’s also wise to give your body a little break for a few days or a week just consuming soups and provides a variety of vegetables that perhaps you have never had before or in such combination or amount.
Soups are loaded with a variety of veggies. Juicing allows you to pack more servings of vegetables into one single meal but soups provide the same benefit while adding a wide variety of diverse vegetables to be consumed. Vegetables and many legumes like beans, root veggies and green leafy vegetables can be easily pureed in a
blender. They not only provide increased energy and all the antioxidants you need, but they stabilize blood sugar as well.
Soup allows a benefit of the addition of a variety of herbs, spices, and
broth. Juicing uses fruits and sugars to create flavor and variety, but there are so many herbs and spices, as well as broths you can use to customize your soup.
Juice limits the flavor diversity. Since juices are basically sweet by nature, they become limiting in the amount of flavors we can incorporate; ginger, parsley, mint and cinnamon and any sweet-complimenting taste is all that can
be done. Souping lends itself to a whole new world of savory flavors, such as cumin, turmeric, pepper, cayenne, coriander, lemon, citrus, etc. to flavor the dish.
More Benefits from Souping
Herbs, spices and vegetables are rich in phytonutrients, which are nutrients inherent in vegetables and plants and possess an array of other active ingredients that are associated with the prevention and treatment of many common illnesses, conditions and disorders. These include cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, high blood pressure, and cholesterol and even chronic skin diseases like psoriasis and
eczema.
You can literally also boost a soup’s nutritional power in an instant! By using bone broth, or adding a scoop of miso (be doubly sure the soup isn’t too hot when adding), or stirring in some chopped greens like, a bit of parsley, kale, chopped spinach, finely chopped Swiss chard, dandelion, beet greens or collards.

It won’t leave you feeling hungry. The extra bulk and fiber in soup, along with the soothing warmth will stay with you and not leave you wanting more food. Raw foods are actually more difficult to digest than food that is cooked. With souping, not only are you cooking the
foods, but the combination of more fiber and protein has staying power to keep you satisfied longer.
More textures. Juice can get a bit mundane as you get tired of just drinking your meals. The variety of textures can help so much in keeping you interested longer. So if we can get all the benefits of cleansing through a more satisfying, flavorful and comforting means then why not?
A Final Word
Souping is a ‘soup-er' project to start now in the cooler weather but it really does work year round. Look at different recipes and start to enjoy the soothing warmth of soups as well as their detoxifying effects soon. Start by making a variety of soups so you can choose the ones you love the best and you can be on the receiving end of all that nutrition.
A soup cleanse is not as difficult as you think as it does taste great and is not difficult to do. Just write down some of your favorite recipes and look some up if you don’t have any favorite soup recipes already.
Happy Souping!
Chapter Two - Cleansing and Detoxifying Your Body
What is it? Why should I do it? How can I do it? What’s in it for me? What are the benefits compared to other cleanses out there and are there any disadvantages of souping? In this chapter we will take a look and discover the answers to all these questions so you can weigh up the pros and cons for yourself.
What is Body Cleansing?
Body cleansing, also referred to as detoxification is an age-old method of alternative medicine, dating back thousands of years. The premise of body cleansing is to rid your body of harmful toxins, chemicals and impurities that, if left to build up over time, can cause chronic pain, illness and a variety of life-altering ailments.
Detoxification History
While several forms of detoxification such, as reflexology, acupuncture, etc., have been used for centuries around the globe, a more recent form, emerging around the mid-1900s has become more prevalent. This more modern type of detoxification is more focused on cleansing the body through forms of diet alterations such as types of fasting and flushing away toxins through coercing and encouraging the bodies removal of waste. The main principal of fasting is avoiding solid foods and consuming only liquids of various types for certain periods of time. A balanced cleanse or
fast is believed to flush toxins and impurities from our bodies and internal organs, giving them a chance to rest, therefore improving our overall health.
Why Do I Need to Cleanse?
There are numerous reasons why cleansing is presumed to be essential for our health and well-being. It is inevitable that over time our bodies become overloaded with poisonous toxins and these toxins can cause disease, weight gain, circulatory issues, and overall life-altering health issues, but these ailments can be reduced and even eliminated entirely by regularly cleansing our bodies. One of the more common uses of body cleansing is weight loss, cleaning out our systems, boosting energy and basically kick-starting a more successful weight loss
program.
Types of Cleansing
Body/Organ Cleanses Versus Liquid Cleanses
There are countless forms of body cleansing and detoxification with new and improved trends, fads, and miracle cures surfacing constantly. A few of the more tried-and-true forms that have been researched, tested, endorsed by medical
professionals, recommended by celebrities, and having proven success rates include, but are not limited to the following:
Body/Organ Cleanses Colon Cleanse
Kidney Cleanse
Liver Cleanse
Full-Body Cleanse
Liquid Cleanses – liquid cleanses, one of the more popular types of cleansing, are based on the concept that no solid food is consumed during the designated time period, only the liquid of choice.
Water Detox – Water detox is the simplest form of liquid cleansing, consisting of only drinking water, although its success is based solely on drinking exact amounts of water at specific times, paying particular attention to avoiding over- or under-drinking. The purpose of this cleanse is to serve as a ‘clean detox’, giving you a
clean, light feeling by flushing harmful toxins out of your system through the urinary tract. It is common to use this cleanse at the start of a weight loss program to eliminate excess water weight.
Juice Cleanse/Detox – Juice detox has become very popular as juicing machines or juicers have become more advanced and efficient. Fresh fruits and vegetables are simply put in the juicer, pureed together, and consumed. There is no heating, cooking, processing, chemicals, preservatives, etc.
Master Cleanse – The Master Cleanse, also referred to as the Lemonade Diet has been around longer than most of the
liquid cleanses, dating back to 1940. The developer and author of the book, “The Master Cleanser” stated in his book that “This diet will prove no one needs to live with their diseases. A lifetime of freedom from disease can become a reality.” The premise of this cleanse is that the specifically prepared lemonade concoction includes enough calories and nutrients to not only cleanse an individual’s digestive system, naturally encouraging healing, it has been proven suitable for weight loss and approved and endorsed by millions of people from around the world.
Milk Fasting – Milk fasting, as the name infers, is a type of cleanse in which only
raw milk and water are consumed. This cleanse has not been tested to the extent of some other liquid cleanses, however, an article posted on the website ‘Cooking God’s Way’ called “30 Day Raw Milk Fast” recounts the results of the experiment performed by Jeff, the man who decided to test the effectiveness of the cleanse. He had to drink up to a gallon of raw milk per day to even come close to the nutritional requirements for his body type. From the beginning and through the entirety of the cleanse, Jeff experienced high energy levels, lower blood pressure numbers, small amounts of weight loss, and didn’t feel hungry. He did, however experience
some bowel issues at the end of the second week due to a few necessary nutrients that the raw milk did not provide enough of, but with supplements the issues subsided. The only other adverse effect he experienced was a lack of energy on the first day after re-introducing solid food into his diet, but this was presumed to be due to the fact that his body had to become re-acclimated with using higher energy levels to digest solid food. Overall, Jeff felt like the fast was a success, giving him softer skin, a stronger mental outlook, and generally feeling ‘well’ throughout the entire month.
Beer Fasting – The beer fasting diet,
while sounding rather comical or made-up, actually originated with the Monks, who vowed to only drink beer, a homemade brew, during the season of lent. The proposed purpose for this fast was to inspire increased awareness and spirituality among the Monks. This fast is not highly recommended by modern medical professionals, nor is it effective for weight less or increased awareness and spirituality.
Soup Detox or ‘Souping’ – Souping, or soup detox is a form of a liquid cleanse with the premise still being the consumption of only the one product, being soup. Experts claim that souping helps boost weight loss, increase energy,
and even give your skin an added glow. The difference, and according to some professionals, the benefit to souping over juice detox is that instead of only containing raw fruits and vegetables, the soup additionally includes some
processed ingredients, containing carbohydrates, fiber, and protein that the juices don’t contain. There are a variety of soup recipes and types to choose from, including broth-based, cream-based, purees, and soups with grains and pastas. This variety and the added heartiness in some of the soups is believed to play a large role in the preference of the soup detox over the juice detox as the soups and the extra
ingredients used makes individuals feel fuller longer and not have as many cravings for solid food.
Benefits and Disadvantages to Cleanses, Detoxes, and Fasts
As with any diet, procedure, alternative form of medicine, or any health-related topics, there are benefits and disadvantages to all the forms of cleansing, just as there are differing opinions of each by individuals experimenting and evaluating the results and the medical professionals who are developing and researching them.
Souping Versus Juice Detox
One of the big issues many people have with the modern soup detox is that it may simply be a trend: a fad that is popular for the moment but will not be a long-
term accepted form of body cleansing. Alternatively, according to some researchers, souping is a healthier form of cleansing than juice detox due to one simple difference: soups retain fiber which is imperative to flushing impurities and toxins. In addition, the fiber content stabilizes blood sugar, making individuals feel less hungry. Another non-health related reason for souping preference is financial: it is cheaper to boil a big pot of broth, adding in a few vegetables and having a large amount to freeze and keep longer than it is to buy all the fresh fruits and vegetables needed to make one single glass of juice.
Juicing Advantages and Disadvantages
Consuming fresh, organic juices all day is beneficial to your digestive system as it allows it to rest as well as giving you the vitamins and nutrients your body needs. A disadvantage of only drinking juices with fresh fruits is the consumption of sugar. Some medical experts feel the sugar, without the fiber and protein to balance it out may be too high a level to be healthy. An alternative to juices made mostly from fruit, therefore higher in sugar content, is ‘green juice’. Green juice is made of vegetables such as broccoli, kale, collards, or leafy greens, which means
lower sugar and is a huge benefit to individuals who have problems getting the recommended servings of vegetables in a day. Most green juice provides up to 2 servings of fruits and vegetables per bottle so it is a healthy alternative to fruit-only juice. The downside is that by juicing the vegetables, the fiber is being ‘stripped’ due to being found in the pulp and skins, however you can physically add the pulp back in to the juicer or even add fiber & protein powders. Additionally, to add extra protein, you can crack a raw egg into your juicer and blend it in with the juice, actually thickens the drink and adds 3 to 5 times more nutrients than normal juices.
Medical Professionals Question Necessity of Cleansing/Detox
According to “Shape Magazine”, a multiple-day, juice-only detox diet doesn’t seem essential or even necessary for individuals as our bodies are designed to naturally rid themselves and detox through our organs including the liver, the GI tract, and the kidneys. Additionally, there is no scientific evidence to imply that our bodies truly need assistance in terms of ridding ourselves of waste, so it is generally not recommended to replace a normal, well-balanced food diet with a juice, soup, or liquid diet.
Chapter Three – Recipes
Are you looking for some healthy and tasty meals to promote detoxing as well as weight loss? There are so many recipes to try and start a brand new lifestyle. A decision to improve not only your health as well as to lose a few pounds it is best to start preparing your mind as well as your body.
The key to any lifestyle change is to make a commitment to yourself and once a commitment has been made, a reward. A reward system in place will keep you in line for what is most important to you and that is becoming a healthier you.

and garlic need to be finely chopped and added to a stockpot that has olive oil. A dash of salt to the onions and garlic is all the seasoning you need at the moment. The stove needs to be on medium heat to cook the mixture till it reaches the aromatic stage, which usually will take no more than a minute or two. Broccoli that has been previously chopped is now ready to join the aromatic ingredients.
When spinach is added to the stockpot, do not worry about adding too much. The leaves will soon wilt. A can of drained beans with the following ingredients such as, turmeric powder, cilantro, bouillon, lemon and water will
be the last fixings to join the crew. From time to time the mixture needs to be stirred to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the large pot. Burnt soup will not taste good.
Within fifteen to twenty minutes of allowing all the ingredients to marry one another on low to medium heat, the soup will be ready for consumption. The stockpot should be removed the heat to prevent from the soup from being overcooked.
