Weight Loss Soup (burns fat)

Ingredients:

· 6 scallions or 2-3 leeks or large red onion

· 1-2 cans of tomatoes (Muir Glen Organic are very good)

· ½ to 1 head of cabbage

· 2 cps. Dark leafy greens such as kale, collard greens, etc.

· 1-2 cps. sliced Daikon

· 2 green peppers

· 4 stalks celery

· rosemary & tarragon for flavoring

· 4-6 dried shitake mushrooms

· 1 hot pepper or pinch of cayenne

· 2 or 3 cloves of chopped garlic

· 4 inch piece of kombu seaweed

· 1 strip wakame or ½ TB. shredded wakame

· vegetable bouillon or water

· Extra-Virgin, cold pressed olive oil.

Cooking herbs such as rosemary, sage, thyme, tarragon or oregano can be added as desired toward the end of cooking. These particular herbs are helpful in dissolving fats, so I would include a few of them. Season with unrefined sea salt, pepper, parsley, or hot sauce. However, with the bouillon, it probably requires little or no salt.

Reconstitute the shiitake in cold water for 30 minutes. Slice and discard stems. Use the shiitake water in the soup.

Cut vegetables in small to medium pieces, sauté in olive oil along with the garlic and herbs & cover with water. Boil for 10 (ten) minutes. Reduce to simmer & continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Add reconstituted wakame last 5 minutes of cooking. This soup can be eaten any time you are hungry. Eat at least one big bowl a day for a week. The ingredients help disperse fats in the body.
