For many of us, the beginning of the year is the healthiest time of the year. We feel motivated to detox and try out new cleansing recipes to recharge our bodies (and maybe lose a bit of weight, too). A bowl of soup is perfect for your detox endevaours—it’s super filling, low in calories and easy to incorporate pure, healing ingredients. In fact, the Hallelujah Diet® 7-Day Detox Program centers around soups for the most appetizing, energizing detox. Sign up today for your FREE soup and juice recipes!
Even those of us in sunny cities are feeling the ongoing chill, so a comforting bowl of soup is still a welcome part of our entrée rotation. This week, Chef Rich has created for us a delicious soup that also accommodates to many of our resolutions to cleanse our bodies. This soup is just 180 calories per serving!
The heart of this soup is the mighty carrot. Did you know that its name comes from the Greek word karoton, which describes the beta-carotene so abundant in carrots? Beta-carotene is what makes your fruits and vegetables red, yellow and orange, and they provide almost half of the Vitamin A you need through food. Vitamin A does virtually everything for our bodies, including helping the liver flush out toxins, improving vision, helping to prevent disease and stimulating the renewal of skin cells.

Q: For those of us who are a bit afraid of spice, what can we do to temper it?

Q: Do you have any tricks that will make this easier for those who aren’t the best soup makers?

If you’ve ever been to a traditional Mexican restaurant, you may’ve noticed a simple side of carrots that accompanied the main entrée. If you ate them, you were probably surprised by their tangy deliciousness. Chef Rich has made a Hallelujah Diet-friendly version that are serious treats for your mouth (and far from the temptations of a burrito). At only 10 calories per serving, these scrumptious carrots are the perfect guilt-free accoutrements for dishes that may need some extra flair.
Whether or not you’re in the thick of a New Year’s cleanse, this 4-ingredient health juice is perfect for any time you want to drink to heal. A special note on beets: They’re not only detoxifying but they’re also anti-inflammatory, which is a root cause of many issues including weight gain and disease. The ginger adds a bit of heat and further enhances the cleansing benefits of the drink. Make this as a snack, to accompany a meal or even breakfast. It’s just 220 calories per serving. Your body will love the unexpected downpour of nutrients!

Just what I’ve been looking for… recipes with none of the inflammation producing foods I’m not allowed to eat right now. I’ve been diagnosed as TOXIC and am hyper-sensitive to wheat, soy, eggs, and nightshade vegetables. So this will be a good diversion from beans and lentils.
I don’t know of anyone addressing this issue, so I’ve been using anti-inflammation recipe books for meals. I’ve been on a version of the Hallelujah diet (inclusive of organic eggs and fish) for nearly twenty years since I had breast and ovarian cancers in ’94 and ’97.
Recently I had reduced my Barley Max to one a day, so I’m adding the second drink back again. In recent years, I began substituting man made alternative foods (like soy cheese, milk and tempeh). Even using Bragg’s liquid aminos now causes me to become inflamed. I’ve really overdone it, I’m eating the old fashioned way with slow cooking and lots of beans, legumes and rice. Any input would be appreciated. At least warmer weather makes having salads more appetizing to me again.
