Or are they all roux-based down there? Otherwise it's pretty low-carb stuff.

WOE: whole foods, lower carb
Curried Califlower Soup (my own recipe )

1/2 yellow onion
1 stalk celery
1 small carrot
2 cloves garlic
1 t hot pepper flakes
2 tbsp curry powder
salt and pepper
1 1/2 lbs califlower (frozen or fresh)
4 c water
1 small can lite coconut milk

Cut the veggies into small pieces. Cook the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in some olive oil. When cooked, add the spices and cook for a few more minutes. Add califlower, add cover with spices. Add the water and let it simmer for about 20-25 mins. Use a stick blender (or a reg blender) to puree the soup. Finally, add the coconut milk and enjoy

Split Pea Soup

1/2 yellow onion
1 carrot
1 stalk celery
salt and pepper
1 bay leaf
1 tsp dried thyme
1 bag split green peas
7 c water

Dice the veggies and cook in some olive oil until cooked. Add the spices and dried peas. Add the water and simmer on low until cooked (45mins-an hour). You can puree the soup for smoother consistensy or keep it the way it is.

Maybe you'd be better off posting this on the 'challenges' board. Just an idea. You could be a leader!

Absolutely. It's somewhere between a 'bloody ton' and a Costco-sized jar of it (the latter being the largest of the 3).

People use different soup recipes (some posted at the beginning of this thread). I usually use the one that calls for cabbage, tomatoes, green onions, etc with no carrots. It's posted here somewhere, just having a hard time finding it. I did a web search and found the instructions. Will post...

SOUP:

1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
3 plus large green onions
1 large can of beef broth (no fat)
1 pkg. Lipton Soup mix (chicken noodle)
1 bunch of celery
2 cans green beans
2 Green Peppers

Season with salt, pepper curry, parsley, if desired, or bouillon, hot or Worcestershire sauce. Cut veggies in small to medium pieces. Cover with water. Boil fast for 10 minutes. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook until veggies are tender.

This soup can be eaten anytime you are hungry during the week. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories. The more you eat, the more you will lose. You may want to fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day.

DRINKS:
Unsweetened juices
Tea (also herbal)
Coffee
Cranberry juice
Skim milk
Water, water, water

DAY ONE
Any fruit (except bananas). Cantaloupes and watermelon are lower in calories than most other fruits. Eat only soup and fruit today.

DAY TWO
All vegetables. Eat until you are stuffed with fresh raw, cooked or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas or corn. Eat veggies along with the soup. At dinnertime tonight reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Don't eat any fruits through today.

DAY THREE
Eat all the soup, fruit and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have eaten as above for three days and not cheated, you should find that you have lost 5-7 pounds.

DAY FOUR
Bananas and skim milk: Eat at least 3 bananas and drink as much milk as you can today, along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates, as is the milk but on this particular day, your body will need the potassium and carbs. Proteins and calcium to lessen the cravings for sweets.

DAY FIVE
Beef and tomatoes: you may have 10 to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes, or as many as 6 tomatoes on this day. Eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SIX
Beef and veggies, eat to your heart's content of the beef and veggies today. You can even have 2-3 steaks if you like with green leafy veggies but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once today.

DAY SEVEN
Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and veggies, again, be sure to stuff yourself and eat the soup. You can add cooked veggies to your rice if you wish.

By the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated on this diet, you should have lost 10 to 17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for two days before resuming the diet again.

This diet is fast. The secret lies within the principle that you will burn more calories than you take in. It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does not lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time. Because of the fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 14 hours before any intake of alcohol.

Due to the variety of digestive systems in individuals, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day three, you will have more energy than when you began, if you do not cheat. After being on the diet for several days, you will find that your bowel movements have changed. Eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don't need caffeine after the third day.

The basic fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry during the seven days. Eat as much as you wish. Remember the more you eat, the more you will lose. You can eat broiled, boiled or baked chicken instead of the beef. Absolutely no skin on the chicken. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef on only one of the beef days. You need the high protein in the beef for the other days.

Continue on the diet as long as you wish and feel the difference both mentally and physically.

DO NOT - DO NOT
No bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Remember, absolutely no fried foods.

DO - DO - DO - DO
Drink plenty - at least 6 to 8 glasses - of water a day, as well as any combination of the following beverages: black coffee, unsweetened fruit drinks, cranberry juice and skim milk.

Funny we are discussing this. I picked up the book, "souper Weight Loss Secrets" by Lillie Ross at a yard sale. It has the identical diet in it and the receipe except she used V-8 as a base.
