to lose weight you have to spend more calories than you consume.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and that's how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, ice cream, candy etc) and nothing fried in lots of oil.
you can spoil yourself once in a while, of-course:)

You need to make sure you are getting the right amount on nutrients through out the day. If you are almost starving yourself by eating soups and stuff you are sending your body into shock, which will cause it to store fat instead of burn it.
Try eating healthy foods like meat, veggies, olive oil, etc. Your body can use the nutrients to burn the fat for energy and make you feel better while you loose weight!

Find out how many calories are right for you to eat each day, according to your weight. Then you will know how much to eat to sustain your weight or lose some.
Vegetable soup is good for you; just go light on the crackers and cheese, if any.

Well, it is not healthy to starve yourself. The Japanese eat miso soup before a meal to feel less hungry during the meal, thus eating less. It sounds like the soup you have chosen here is healthy, but i am afraid if you eat it every day, you will become bored with it. Check your local health food store to see if they recommend any other types of soup for variety. i do personally recommend miso soup with seaweed. It is quite good. Best wishes!

I'm sure you'll start to see a difference in a few weeks. It also depends upon what else you eat during the day. You should also try to get at least three days of cardiovascular activity to help with the fat burning process.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!

Maybe.
What else are you eating through the day? How many calories are in the soup?
