Woman shares 'weight loss soup' recipe with 38g of protein per serving
A woman has shared a chicken and vegetable soup recipe she calls her 'weight loss soup'. She says each serving contains 38g of protein and 459 calories.
Chicken, lentils and beans form the base of a hearty soup that TikTok user Sarah Bernardo says packs 38g of protein into each serving. She calls it her 'weight loss soup' and regularly enjoys it for lunch.
For anyone after a warming meal without an elaborate recipe, the dish combines everyday vegetables with stock and ready-cooked chicken. It also lends itself to batch cooking, whether you're planning lunches or want an easy dinner to hand.
Sharing the recipe with her followers, Sarah said: "If you need a filling high protein meal to have while losing weight with PCOS then give this a go! I love having this for lunch on a daily basis."
Sarah often uses her TikTok account to discuss living with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common condition affecting how the ovaries work. It can cause irregular periods and higher levels of hormones called androgens, which can lead to excess facial or body hair. Weight gain can also be a symptom.
To make her soup, prepare two carrots by slicing them into half moons, dice four celery sticks finely and chop one brown onion into chunks. Alongside the vegetables, you'll need a tablespoon of garlic, five cups of vegetable stock, a cup of red lentils, a tin of four bean mix and 400g of roast chicken.
She sautéed the onion in avocado oil before incorporating the garlic and vegetables, allowing the mixture to simmer for two minutes. Sarah then poured in five cups of vegetable stock and brought it to the boil.
Once bubbling, she introduced a cup of red lentils, the beans and the cooked chicken, leaving everything to cook for 10 minutes.
Sarah revealed that each portion of the soup totalled 459 calories and 38g of protein. For those curious about how high protein content could assist with weight loss, the answer came from the comments section, where one TikTok user noted: "Protein helps you feel fuller longer and can help regulate hormone levels."
The recipe generated considerable enthusiasm amongst viewers, with one follower querying whether chicken broth could be swapped for a vegetable alternative. Another user wrote: "This is great! Thanks so much for sharing."
