I made the decision that 2015 was going to be my year. One huge aspect was I want to get in the best shape of my life…. not for anyone else, but for myself. That being said my aunt turned me on to Miracle Soup. The soup is great for weight loss as it takes more calories to burn than it yields. While it’s not the “secret” to weight loss it did help me jump start year in a healthier direction.

Miracle Soup
Ingredients
3 cups water
2 cups V-8 juice
1 large onion
1 green pepper
3 celery stalks
5 carrots
1 can diced tomatoes
2 cups shredded cabbage
dash of garlic powder

dash of red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon basil
dash of salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ envelope dry onion soup mix

Directions
1. Place all ingredients in a large pot.
2. Let simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Enjoy.
