Many diets recently have been taking a page from the book of the Negative calorie foods diet. Diets like the Cabbage Soup Diet borrow from the principle of negative calories, and it's the cabbage soup diet in particular that has a lot of people interested in finding a quality negative calorie soup.

While it's nearly impossible to make a soup that is completely negative calorie (at least one worth eating) a hearty soup full of negative calorie foods can be made that keeps the belly full while burning off nearly all the calories that you eat. This tasty soup has already helped thousands lose excess weight.

The way to make a low calorie, or even negative calorie diet soup is simple: make a basic vegetable broth for the soup, with absolutely no meat, and add in a wide array of negative calorie and low calorie foods. The base could be vegetable broth, or say V-8 juice. Then add a wide array of veggies you like such as carrots, celery, mushrooms, bell peppers, fresh green beans, tomatoes, beets, cabbage, and other similar foods (but avoid potatoes).

Since this is an extremely low calorie soup, don't be afraid to pour on the spice to flavor the broth to your liking! Spice it up with a lot of garlic, black pepper, white pepper, and even a little bit of salt and other seasonings (although don't go nuts with the salt). You can even throw in some cayenne or Cajun seasoning for a little extra kick if that's what you personally like.

The more different seasonings, flavors, and veggies you have in your negative calorie diet soup, the more likely you are to enjoy it. This is key in order to be able to stay on the diet without sliding backwards, and the tastier your negative calorie diet soup, the better.

There isn't one single recipe for negative calorie soup, although all of them are the same base, then it's just a choice of what you toss in. The cabbage soup diet is maybe the most famous low calorie soup, and that recipe is easy to find, as well as several variations of it.

There is no single one recipe for this specific type of diet soup. Basically look at the list of foods that are options, use some common sense, and the rest should be easy. Flavor it up and you have a great tasty soup to help you keep off (and even shed) those extra pounds!
