I lost 5lbs in 3 days- Soft diet challenge

Is a soft diet worth it? I am going to say that although I wasn't constantly starving and I do prefer this over a Juice cleanse...I don't think its something I would recommend for long term results. Soup Recipe: Olive oil 1 diced onion Minced garlic (sauté until fragrant) I seasoned until my ancestors told me to stop with the following: Pepper, salt, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, chili powder, sage, rosemary, ginger powder, bay leaves, garlic and roasted herb seasoning. I browned 1lb ground turkey in my pot along with the onions and garlic, once it was cooked I added the rest of my ingredients 1.5 cartons chicken stock (about 6 cups) 1 large sweet potato cut into bite sized pieces 1 can cannellini beans- rinsed cook until sweet potatoes are tender and then at the end I added 2 cups spinach 2 cups chopped kale. I don't like to let the vegetables cook so long that there are no more vitamins left lol I forgot to buy my can of diced tomatoes so I chopped a few grape tomatoes and popped them in.
