By now, you’ve likely heard of juicing. But what about “souping”? Essentially, instead of downing green juice all day long, this cleanse involves sipping on soup. In my opinion, souping is a better option than stricter cleanses. That said, you certainly don’t need to limit your entire diet to liquid meals in order to take advantage of soup’s health and weight loss benefits. Here, why and how to incorporate some healthful soup into your diet.
A study published in the journal Appetite found that when people ate a low-calorie soup (about 130 calories for women and 170 for men) before lunch, they naturally consumed about 20% fewer calories overall—but didn’t feel less full. And no, not just any appetizer will do. Other research has shown that compared to solid foods like cheese, crackers, and cantaloupe, soup does a better job at curbing subsequent eating.
Why soup? Scientists say texture is key. Although liquids empty from the stomach faster than solids, thicker liquids like soup are different. They actually tend to cause the stomach to expand a bit more, and remain in the stomach longer, so you feel more full, for a longer length of time. And while some research suggests that form doesn’t matter, one study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition concluded that smooth soup (think: butternut squash) worked even better than a chunky version (such as chicken noodle) when it came to slowing stomach emptying and boosting satiety. Plus, unlike smoothies, which can be sucked through a straw in mere minutes, soups are generally sipped at a more leisurely pace. And additional research shows that slower eating helps you feel more satisfied and consume fewer calories, often without even trying....

I wish there were breakfast soup recipes. I would love something hot in the morning that isn’t mush.
Lots of ‘em.
Just google breakfast soups.
:)
Agree with your comment about questionable origin. The one and only time I bought Costco’s rotisserie chicken the meat was layered with thick globules of fat. As do you, I recommend staying away from Costco’s rotisserie chickens.
I love the onion soup that the local Japanese place makes and could handle that just about every day.
Otherwise I never really cared for most soups.
Eat soup and wear shirts that are too small = Weight loss
Eat soup and wear shirts that are too big = Weight loss
I made a huge pot of cabbage roll soup yesterday. I could eat that stuff everyday, and never get tired of it.
Ha, my mom used to use Ayds
I have to wonder if e-s was referring to the insectoid origins of Costco fowl.

That “fat” that you discovered in the meat is not likely even chicken fat.
Chickens store their fat just under the skin, and that fat is quite healthy to consume, but the stuff in the muscles is not normal.

Take one jar of beef stock, heat until just under boiling, break egg into bowl, pour soup gently over egg and let sit for about two minutes, add croutons if you like. Eat.
AKA caramels soaked in lidocaine
They make a killer soup!!
.
“Killer”
That’s what I’m afraid of.
.
Who needs an excuse to eat soup anyway?
I remember that stuff!
Oh, wait a minute.
Maybe I don’t want to admit it.
Never took it though.
I was still thin in those days being a teenager.
