Fat Burning Vegetable Soup

I saw this recipe online and made a few minor changes to make it vegan. It's pretty low in calories, fat, sodium and has no cholesterol. I'm not sure how it burns fat, but it sure tastes yummy. Serves 8 1-1/4 cup servings)

  • 2 small (or 1 large) sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (I used Better Than Bouillon)
  • 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (do not drain)
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)


Prepare your sweet potatoes, carrots, celery, onion and garlic.

All all ingredients, except spinach and olive oil, to a soup pot.

 Cover and simmer until all veggies are tender, about 45 minutes to an hour. Stir frequently.

Add spinach at the end of cooking time, allow spinach to wilt.

If using olive oil add a drizzle over each serving.
Enjoy!!!
