Best vegan fat burning soup recipes

Chili soup

Who doesn’t love a warming bowl of soup? All year round, soup is a great, nutritious lunch meal which can be made to be low in calories yet super filling.

But what about the chili? It might sound like a strange addition, but it can perfectly compliment your soup, giving it a spicy taste and also powering it with some additional fat burning potential.

Chili peppers are already super low in calories, yet they also have some excellent fat burning qualities. Capsaicin found in chilis has been linked to weight loss in two ways.

Firstly, some studies have shown that it can reduce your appetite, meaning you’ll eat less and potentially cut out some of the snacks.[1]

Secondly, it’s been shown in studies to increase your body’s fat burning ability, helping you burn off more calories than you usually would.[2]

So with a healthy, tasty vegan chili soup, you get a nutritious filling meal, easy to meal prep for the week, with added fat burning power. Win win.

Broccoli & Spinach Soup

Broccoli is a fantastic source of both fiber and protein, also containing a large mix of vitamins and minerals, giving your body lots of super green goodness.

Despite what some might tell you, broccoli is also super tasty, and works brilliantly in a soup, giving it lots of flavor and a great texture.

Like broccoli, spinach is a super green that has been shown to reduce oxidative stress[3] and even lower your blood pressure.[4] Not bad for a humble leaf.

Spinach tastes fantastic and even better when combined with broccoli in a delicious soup. Packed with vitamins, minerals and goodness. Best of all, it’s really cheap to make.

These ingredients cost next to nothing, and you can easily cook up a big batch and freeze it. Perfect for a quick lunch, snack meal or even main meal with some carbs.

In most recipes you can also add asparagus for a bit of additional flavor.

As it’s super low calorie, this makes it a perfect soup if you’re trying to burn fat. Give it a shot!

Gazpacho

Controversial for some as it’s traditionally served cold, but we’d highly recommend a hearty bowl of Gazpacho for any soup lovers out there.

Traditionally eaten in Spain and Portugal but now enjoyed worldwide, this cold soup is perfect for a refreshing meal on a summer’s day, but equally, as a great lunch time fat burning soup any time of the year.

Easy to prepare, simple to make, cheap ingredients, really good for you. What have you got to lose? Oh and it tastes fantastic.

Common ingredients are cucumber, red and green peppers, red onion, tomatoes and some garlic. You can serve with bread or anything you like. Perfect as a side, starter or main.

Full of natural, low-calorie ingredients, this a perfect soup for anyone looking to cut down on fatty, unhealthy meals.

It’s really easy to make and as you can eat it cold, you don’t even need to reheat it. Put it in the fridge, the freezer or take it out on the go. It’s a really simple way to enter a calorie deficit by reducing your unhealthy intake with better, low-calorie options.

Baked Potato Soup

You’ll usually find this winter-warming favorite loaded with a base of heavy cream, making for a bowl over 400 calories. But by choosing a recipe that switches to chicken stock as the foundation and adds a splash of half-and-half, the calories can be cut in half!

The mellow potato flavor shines through to deliver a hearty meal that’s filling, low-calorie and good for you. Better yet, this recipe includes a dash of capsaicin-packed tabasco, cheese and bacon, all of which work with the potato to deliver an indulgent taste. Who knew you could enjoy cheese, bacon and potato while cutting calories?

You can also add black pepper to this soup, which is known for its ability to block new fat cells from forming[5].

Batch cook this delicious fat-burning soup and you’ll be well prepared and motivated for those cold winter days.

Split Peas Soup

Packed with a variety of health-boosting vitamins and important macronutrients like fiber and protein, split peas are ranked as one of the best super-foods available.

But why? Split peas are one of the best vegan protein sources, with 8.3g of protein found in a 100-gram cooked serving. You’ll also find 118 calories and 8.3g of fiber in the same amount[6]. These macronutrients are seriously important for fat loss.

Protein is thought to help boost metabolism[7] while fiber keeps you fuller for longer and stops you overeating[8].

When it comes to preparing the soup, many people combine split peas with smoky ham, chicken broth, bay leaves and thyme to create a thick, creamy broth that will warm you up on the coldest days.

Being rich in fiber and protein, this fat burning soup recipe could help you a great deal in your weight loss efforts. You’ll feel fuller for longer and gain all the essential nutrients your body needs to stay energized, including vitamins B1, B5, K, folate, iron, magnesium and zinc.

Summary

Weight loss in the winter isn’t easy. Alongside your Hourglass Fit, it takes commitment in the kitchen and gym. And when salad just won’t cut it, sometimes you need a warming fat-burning broth to keep you motivated.
