Chipotle Asparagus Soup for HCG Phase 2
Nothing is more satisfying and warming on the HCG Phase 2 than a bowl of delicious soup. Soup is a filling and delicious way to enjoy your hCG diet vegetables and is one of my favorite tips to help curb any hunger pangs you might have on P2 VLCD (Phase 2 Very Low Calorie Diet). This Chipotle Asparagus Soup recipe for the HCG phase 2 was one of my favorites on P2. I love the spicy, smoky flavor and found that it was a great way to cook up asparagus.
One way to make this recipe even more flavorful is to substitute chicken or beef broth instead of water to add extra flavor if you are having chicken or beef for that meal. Remember that variety is the spice of life and keeping your hCG Diet meals fun, delicious and interesting is one of the keys to weight loss success! Enjoy the recipe and Happy Dieting!
