Famous Fat Flush Soup

So, I ran into this recipe recently while scouring the internet for low calorie dishes.  This recipe first appeared in Woman's World magazine last year and some of the reviews I have read on it SWEARS by the soup.  One lady claiming she was stuck at a certain weight for weeks, started eating this soup and dropped 1.4 pounds over night.  Well, I have been eating it for a couple of days and have not gotten such results but I can tell you one thing.  This soup is delicious!!!  And by looking at the ingredients, really healthy for you as well.  I did tweak a couple of things from the original recipe because of personal preferences, such as it calls for mushrooms and I despise mushrooms!  So, here is the recipe:

Ingredients

2 tsp.Olive Oil

1 1/4 lbs. of lean ground turkey (or chicken)

1 medium onion (chopped)

1 bell pepper (seeded and chopped)

4 cloves of garlic (chopped)

1 jalapeno (chopped)

1 (14oz) can of crushes tomatoes

1 (32oz) bottle of reduced sodium spicy tomato juice

1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice

1 (14 oz) can rinsed and drained black beans (navy or pinto can also be used)

1 Tbs. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (or to taste)

1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Directions

1.  Heat olive oil and brown ground turkey/poultry.  Drain and set aside.

2.  Saute onion, garlic and peppers until soft (about 5 minutes).

3.  Stir in all remaining ingredients (except cilantro) and cover and simmer for 20 minutes.  

4.  Stir in cilantro and cover and simmer for 10 minutes longer.
