This is a real winter warming soup and it feels hearty and filling.
You will need:
1 large onion finely chopped,
1 clove garlic finely chopped,
1kg (2.2lb) of root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, swede, potatoes, beetroot, turnips etc) chopped into 1 inch cubes,
Olive oil for cooking (approximately 2 tablespoons),
1.5 pints of vegetable stock (home-made or from a sugar free stock cube).
What you do with all this:
Heat the olive oil in a large pan.
Fry the onion and garlic lightly until the onion becomes transparent.
Add all the vegetables and give them a good stir.
Add the vegetable stock and bring everything to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer lightly for about 30 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked.
Turn off the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Leave chunky, or use a hand held blender to blend the mixture until smooth.
Add a dash of Tabasco if you like your soup with a bite or freshly ground pepper

Hi
Have been reading your 3-step plan and it makes loads of sense to me. However, I already eat a diet based on meat/fish/eggs/veg/salad and grains/pulses with very little processed food (the odd jar of curry sauce etc). Will be diet work as well for me for weight loss as for those eating a lot of junk?

Hi Zoe,
I am currently on Phase 1 and the only thing I’m struggling with is not being able to drink anything but water as I normally have a lot of fruit juice (I don’t drink any hot drinks – tea/herble tea/coffee)and so in Phase 2 is it possible for me to flavour water with fresh fruits?
A friend of mine introduced me 2 this diet so glad she did cos I lost 5lbs in 4days.
Im just starting the second phase and can’t wait 2 see the results in another 4 days.
Brilliant soup me and my husband really enjoyed had some left for me to take to work lovely. So glad I read the article in the Sun newspaper.
Just wondering what snacks I can have that are Harcombe diet friendly…I have both books but find at night after dinner I feel like some sort of desert or snack. I know that snacks are frowned upon but it will help me keep to the diet. I don’t snack all day mind you. Just in the evening. Thanks Deb Melbourne Australia
