If your January resolutions are starting to wane, try this super-easy soup cleanse. Every day this week, start one or two meals a day with a cup of broth-based soup, which will curb cravings, pack in produce, and reduce overall calorie intake. The goal is to eat 5 to 7 each week.
First step: the broth. You can either purchase a low-sodium variety from the store, or if your inner chef is feeling up to it, make your own from scratch. Broth will stay good in the refrigerator for up to five days, and it also freezes well, so you can make a large batch to have on hand for quick weeknight soup.
Once your chicken, beef, or veggie broth is done, you have your base for one of these delicious recipes — perfect as a low-calorie starter to your meal.
