I often make this soup when I ate too salty, drank little and suffer from water retention. It helps to deflate naturally, because it is made with ingredients with a natural diuretic effect, but cooked and combined in order to enhance this characteristic. Plus it’s very simple to do. I call it my vichyssoise light. For the type of ingredients, it resembles a vichyssoise, only this can be eaten warm or hot, the vichyssoise is cold. It has about 200 calories in the basic version and about 300 in the complete one with 25 grams of buckwheat. Obviously it replaces a meal, followed by an apple if you are on a diet.

Ingrediants

For 4 people.
Two white or copper onions.
A big fennel.
Four small sticks of celery.
Half a green apple.
A small potato (weighing a pound).
125 ml of sour cream.
250 ml water.
A spoonful of oil.
One and a half tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
Parsley and nutmeg.
A pound of buckwheat (optional).

Instructions

In a non-stick pan such as a wok or a large pan pour a tablespoon of oil and all the vegetables in coarse pieces, including the apple.
Cover with a lid and simmer the vegetables until completely cooked (adjust from the potato).
Season with a little salt, parsley and nutmeg.
Pour the vegetables into a blender and add the sour cream, water and apple cider vinegar.
Blend the mixture and put it in a container, heating it almost to a boil (do not boil).
Separately, boil a pound of buckwheat in this way: wash it very well under cold water, rubbing it vigorously.
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and boil the wheat for about twenty minutes.
Drain well and divide it into four plates.
Then ladle the soup over it and serve.
