Vichyssoise
Classic French soup used by European women as a way to cleanse the system and popularized in the novel "French Women Don't Get Fat". Be advised: it's not just the soup that makes the French women skinny and hot; it's also that they don't have elevators and they still smoke cigarettes and drink plenty of wine it seems...
