The Sacred Heart diet is a 7 day diet plan. It
consists of a soup recipe and a 7 day eating guide.
During the diet, dieters may eat as much of the soup
as desired and are often required to eat at least one
serving each day.
Some versions of the diet actually
claim that this soup contains no calories, but as all
food contains some calories this claim cannot be true.
It is however generally a fairly low calorie soup.
The Soup
There are many different versions of the Sacred
Heart diet circulating. Because it is not clear where this
diet originated no one recipe can be considered more
correct than any other recipe. The following recipe
seems to be the most common.
-1 or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes
-3 (or more) large green onions
-1 large can of fat-free beef broth
-1 package chicken noodle soup mix
-1 bunch celery
-2 cans of green beans
-2 pounds of carrots
-2 green peppers
Some versions call for chicken broth instead of
beef broth, or allow for any kind of fat-free soup mix
to be used.
Directions: Chop the vegetables into small or
medium pieces. Add everything to a large soup pot.
Cover with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10
minutes. Reduce the soup to a simmer and continue
to cook until all the vegetables are tender. The soup
may be seasoned with salt, pepper, hot sauce, bouillon,
or Worcestershire sauce if desired.
