The Chicken Soup Diet works on a very simple
idea. You have 1 breakfast each day (see breakfast choices listed below)
and as much chicken soup as you want during the day.
Breakfasts Choices
On the chicken soup diet you are allowed one
breakfast a day. Now you can try a different breakfast every day, and
this is the best way because it will give you a good nutritional balance.
Since there are only 5 different ones to choose from, for the last two
days of the diet, repeat the ones you liked the best. Okay, here are
the Breakfast dishes:
Breakfast 1: 1 cup vanilla nonfat yogurt
combined with 1/2 cup chopped fruit salad and sprinkled with wheat germ.
Breakfast 2: 1 cup ricotta cheese combined
with 1/2 tsp. of sugar and a dash of cinnamon. 2 pieces while-grain
bread, toasted 3 dried figs
Breakfast 3: 1 1/2 cups Total cereal
1/2 cup nonfat milk 1/2 cup calcium enriched orange juice
Breakfast 4: 1/2 cup prune juice 1 small
whole-wheat bagel, topped with 1 oz of fat-free cheddar cheese melted.
Breakfast 5: 1 1/2 cups cooked Wheatena
Cereal 1/2 cup nonfat milk
Now here is the recipe for
the soup..........

Cooking Instructions: Using a large pot,
heat the oil over a medium head. Add the parsnips, celery, turnip, jalapeno
peppper, garlic, salt and cayenne pepper. Cook all the vegetables until
