From the former head chef of London’s renowned NOPI comes a soup cookbook unlike any other; with a focus on the revitalizing health benefits of soup, Ultimate Soup Cleanse offers over sixty delicious, healthy, restorative soup cleanse recipes to fit any lifestyle.
There is just something about soup: it has the ability both to revitalize and to soothe; it’s packed with nutrition and offers variety, deliciousness, and comfort; it’s also a fantastic aid for weight-loss and improving digestion.
Discover all that soup can do for you in this healthful guide packed with over sixty delicious, nutritious recipes, all organized into four different categories of soup cleanses—Reduce, Restore, Renew, and Resolve. Recipes as varied as asparagus mimosa soup, saffron broth with prawns, and smoked aubergine and kefir soup are all part of the Reduce cleanse, proving that losing weight by eating nutritious, filling soups is not only possible, but also delicious. And hot cucumber with barley soup and wild garlic & baby spinach with olive soup are both tasty, healthy meals as part of the two-day Resolve cleanse and perfect to attempt over the weekend. If you’re feeling more ambitious, you could sample an array of recipes from the five-day Renew cleanse, such as barley bone broth, mussels and leek soup, or wild rice, edamame, and rainbow chard soup.
Whether you’re swapping a stale sandwich at lunchtime for a vibrant bowl full of grains and greens that will help you lose weight, or relaxing at home over a velvety blend of Jerusalem artichoke and fennel soup to help strengthen digestion—it’s always the right time for soup.

I don't even know where to start with my complaints, but I guess I'd begin with the fact that these ladies feel like it's ok to tell people it's perfectly acceptable to let yourself go hungry. No, it's not - if you're feeling hunger pains look at what you're eating: is it enough, enough protein, complex carbs, etc. Glorifying feeling hungry is the breeding ground for eating disorders. Eat when you're hungry and stay active, that's healthy - NOT going hungry. Then there's the fact that I'm supposed to be impressed that this woman lost and kept off 35 pounds - honestly not that much weight - if she lost 300 pounds and kept if off, then I'd be impressed.
Finally, the recipes: some weird, some disgusting, most of them containing barely enough calories to keep a five year old alive, but the thing about this book that really pissed me off is the fact that this is a book about soup and yet one of the recipes asks me to go out and buy a miso soup mix packet. That's right, a book with nothing but soup recipes is telling me how to make a soup with a store bought packet with a few veggies thrown in. Wow, so glad I found this book that will teach me how to starve myself and add boiling water to a soup packet.

This is a book I was given for Christmas. Not sure what my family member was trying to tell me!
As of yet I have not tried any of the recipes but I found the authors' descriptions of different foods and types of cleanses extremely informative.
The one drawback I found to the book was the ingredient list. Some items, such as coconut oil, are no longer considered healthy. A few other ingredients are not items found in an average pantry. That said there are some interesting sounding recipes that I will be trying in the near future.
All recipes included in the book are for two servings, no giant pots of soup, which I think is much nicer when trying new recipes. One won't be stuck with a week's worth of leftovers if the recipe is not to their taste.
Looking forward to trying the recipes and I will keep the book handy as a reference.
