S OUPING, THE NEW craze in town, often refers to making a blended drink or raw soup, and it is a way to cleanse your body and lose weight. When souping, you can make blended raw soups as mentioned above, and these soups provide fiber, biophotons, enzymes, and vitamins. Some people actually call these concoctions juice, hence our title, Souping Is the New Juicing. Souping also encompasses making gently warmed soups and the old-fashioned stove-top-simmered hot soup.

Soup can be a great part of a cleanse program. Raw blended soups can give you more substance during a fast, and warm soups are especially helpful in the winter when you need something to take the chill off your body and soul or something more substantial than a glass of clear juice. You can eat just soup or soup and fresh juices throughout the day. Youll cleanse right down to your cells. Im all for that since Ive been promoting detoxification for a couple decades. But even though souping is great for cleanses and detoxes, I actually see souping as a way of life; it is not just a trend or something you do when you want to lose a few pounds or detox.

According to Dr. Nada Milosavljevic, the director of the Integrative Health Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, The allure of souping continues to grow.... Not only do the herbs and spices have a host of health benefits, but the vegetable pulp contains fiber which can increase our sense of satiety.

Im known as the Juice Lady. Ive been juicing for decades and teaching people about the healing power of fresh juice. Im not convinced that souping is better than juicing because nothing is quite the same as live, raw juice. That being said, juicing does have strong benefits, including less mess and less fuss and more fiber than juicing. It also can be more satisfying than juicing. Juicing is to extract the juice from the fiber. Raw blended soups retain all the fiber from vegetables; they are the whole food blended up. Souping also includes making gently warmed, cooked soups and the more traditional long-simmered soups. In the winter when its hard to drink just juice for a short cleanse, warm soup can be a lifesaver. And many people need something more substantial than just clear juice when they fast or do a cleanse. Actually, any time of year soups, including blended soups and smoothies, can be combined with juice to make a healthy and satisfying menu plan.

People love the idea of making raw soup because it is so easyjust chop, drop your ingredients in the blender, and go. Such raw soups are the ultimate on-the-go meal. Take your blended soup with you to drink on your commute. Keep some in the freezer for a busy night. Make them healthy with organic ingredients and the freshest produce available to get the most health benefits possible. Making your own soup helps you avoid preservatives, bad fats, BPA (sometimes found in canned soups), and sugar.

You can sip your way to a slimmer you because soup is filling and nourishing. It satisfieswhether its a cold, raw soup or a hot soup. Soup is a way to pump up your metabolism and keep fit. And it is excellent for the immune system, helping you prevent colds and flu.

Im about to show you how this ultimate comfort food can help you lose weight, detoxify your system, and heal your body. Soon you will be blending up yummy, raw soups and simmering pots of comforting aromatic soup. Grab your stockpot and blender. Its time to make soup!

Those who think they have no time for healthy eating will sooner or later have to find time for illness.

EDWARD STANLEY, EARL OF DERBY

W HEN I THINK about soup, the first word that comes to my mind is comfort. How many times have you needed a comforting, soothing bowl of soup when you were sick? Like you, Ive had my bouts with upper respiratory infections and flu. When I was a child, chicken soup with lots of vegetables and garlic was always my grandmothers remedy for such illnesses. It is a part of my healing regimen to this day.

But Ive had more serious challenges as an adult, times when I needed a huge bowl of comfort that included but reached far beyond a bowl of soup. I share my stories with you to give you hope that you can overcome whatever challenges you face. This is chicken soup for your soul.
