Turbo-Charged Weight-Loss Soup Diet image

I am a big fan of the Good Housekeeping Soup Diet and I've enjoyed it just as it is for awhile now. Recently I came across a new recipe in Woman's World magazine which is loaded with Antioxidants and it inspired me to combine the two recipes with a tweak or two here and there. I have posted this recipe in metric measurements as I have found that weights convert better than cups when it comes to vegetables and canned items.
