Weight Loss Magic Soup is the secret recipe for anyone looking the shed a few pounds quickly and get back on track. It is also helpful for weight loss surgery patients who have;
- Hit a stall
- Clear liquids during post-op diet
- Pre-op diet before gastric sleeve or bypass
- Need to reset their pouch
Not only is this soup packed with many vitamins and nutrients, it really fills up the stomach with very little calories. It tastes great, filled with flavor, and is extremely low in calories.
Is the weight loss magic soup all I need for the weight loss diet?
Sadly, no. One would still need to consume about 1,000 calories per day in order to lose weight at a healthy rate. In addition, you should also do the following as well:
- Eat a healthy breakfast in the morning with lean proteins (eggs, chicken, fish, turkey).
- Consume a bowl of weight loss magic soup for lunch, somewhere in the afternoon, and dinner with whole-grain crackers
- Remember to drink at least 64 oz. of water a day to stay hydrated
- Exercise at least 30 minutes a day 3-5 times a week for a healthy body
Weight Gain After Weight Loss Surgery
Please keep in mind that this is an extremely strict diet and we don’t recommend one follow it for more than five to seven days. After a week of this diet, make sure to consume more nutrient-rich foods. If you continue to gain weight after weight loss surgery, read this guide.
Weight Loss Magic Soup Cooking Instructions
The weight loss magic soup is approximately 57 calories per serving and can last up to three months in the freezer. One can honestly use any vegetables for the soup.
INGREDIENTS
- 32 ounces chicken broth you may use low-sodium
- 3 cups V-8 juice *see recipe notes
- 28 ounces Italian diced tomatoes
- 3 medium shallots
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 3 carrots peeled and sliced
- 1 zucchini diced
- 2 cups green beans fresh or frozen
- 14 ounces kidney beans drained and rinsed
- 3-4 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon parsley
- Salt and Pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine in a large oiled frying pan garlic, onions, carrots, and mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes.
In a large crockpot, combine sautéed mixture with the remaining ingredients.
Cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until vegetables are fork-tender.
FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS
As this makes a large batch of soup, freeze portions of it to use later. To optimize quality, undercook the vegetables just a little. Pour the soup into freezer Ziplock bags and let as much air out as you can. Lay the bags flat on a cookie sheet and freeze, this flattening method will ease freezer storage as you can layer them. To thaw, place the bag in the fridge for 24 hours and then reheat.

How much is a serving?
Would also like to know serving size.
2020/COVID restrictions have been emotionally exhausting. I’ve always loved cooking and found it a productive way to be productive/creative. With gyms closed/stores restricted getting my exercise in was very difficult. Now thru winter I’m very unhappy with the 10 pounds I’ve gained. I’m 3.5 years post Sleeve surgery and done well avoiding weight gain. Will spend Lent getting back on track!
I’m 4 years out from my sleeve surgery, but I still vomit when I mix solids and liquids. I tried the soup and it made me throw up. Would it be as effective if I strained it and just ate the broth? Thank you!
After my sleeve surgery I was the same way. So I used an immersion blender and just blended it all up so that I only had one texture. It still tasted really good and didn’t make me sick anymore.
Can we leave out the V-8 juice? I don’t tolerate it.
Hello Manie, You can also use low-sodium V-8 juice, tomato juice, vegetable juice, or homemade tomato juice.
I am 2.5 years post op and I also still vomit if I mix solids and liquids and if I even eat one bite too much. Did yours ever get better? Food just sucks for me and I really hate it so I tend to “forget” to eat sometimes because I dread the after part of meals. I am thinking tomorrow I may start the reset.

Hi Melanie, You can use red cabbage after the solids phase but it should be cooked soft and it can make you gassy.

Hi Annette, thank you so much for the feedback! We will work with our nutritionist to add that information.
Hallo und Danke für die Information. Bin 4 Jahre nach Magenbypas, habe von 117 kg auf 80 kg runter, aber dann habe Probleme mit meine Schilddrüse bekommen und jetzt bin ich wieder 96 kg. Habe in Klinik angerufen als ich gemerkt habe, das mein Gewicht hoch geht, wurde aber gesagt, sie können mir nicht mehr helfen, das es an meinen Stoffwechsel liegt. Jetzt bin hier auf die Reset Diet gekommen und werde es umgehend ausprobieren! N die letzte Zeit habe ich auch keinen Sättigungsgefühl und merke das ich immer mehr esse. Danke für die Information! L.G. und Erfolg für alle!
