Post Cleanse Day 1

So i ended my cleanse yesterday. My last day was a breeze. I was already thinking of preparing my Veggie Soup and drinking it. I was high spirited too.

For today, I skipped the Orange Juice and had Veggie Soup straight away. I never like Orange Juice anyway, haha...

My recipe for Veggie Soup:

Corns (Chop it) I never knew corns are so hard to chop!
Onions
Carrots
Potatoes
Tomatoes
White Cabbage
Mushrooms
Bean Sprouts
Tofu...
and Water

Salt (to taste)


Method:
1. Peel and chop everything that's needed to.
2. Start by boiling Water in a big Wok? or whatever you call it.
3. When water starts to boil, add in Corns and Carrots and the stem part of the White Cabbage (they took longer time to turn soft). These are some of the ingredients that are "Sweet" and they doesn't mushed up even after long time of boiling. At this point i added Onions too cos i think Onions have stronger taste and i prefer to eat them when i can't really see or eat them cos they became like thin and transparent after long boiling. lol
4. When you start smelling corns' fragrance and when Carrots turns soft, throw in Potatoes, Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Tofu and the rest of White Cabbage. Keep boiling...
5. Test the softness of Potatoes. Keep boiling until Potatoes turned soft but before it turns too soft that when you touch it they disperse everywhere in the soup.
6. Throw in Bean Sprouts for quick boil if you like it crunchy. (Beware: The smell is really strong!)
7. Add in Salt and taste. You will realised just a little amount is enough cos the Soup itself is SWEET. Also, learn to enjoy the natural flavor of the vegetables.

Lastly, when my Soup is done, i realised i had more Vegetables that the soup itself. haha... By the way i took about a hour to finish cooking it. And is it Paradise in a Bowl?? Veggie Soup never taste so good before!!

Note: Prepare a big amount cos you get hungry easily by just eating the Veggie Soup. I had several bowls throughout. You can do leftover and have some for next day too. Just refrigerate the whole thing and boil it up the next day.

By right, you're not supposed to eat those Vegetables in the soup for your Day 1 after breaking the fast. I ate them anyway. I didn't experienced nauseousness or stomach upset so I'm fine with eating on first day of Post Cleanse. Everybody's body differs. I try to avoid meat however.
