Sometimes, A Hearty Bowl of Soup is All You Need

There’s nothing like comforting yourself with steaming hot soups on very cold, damp days. Not only do they keep you healthy and happy, but they also leave you and your family feeling warm and toasty all the way through winter.

While we can all agree that soup is an excellent companion during the winter months, there’s actually more to it than that. Let’s take a closer look at the health benefits of soup and why it should be a staple at your dinner table.

1.     Soup helps you get your vegetables in for the day. Adding a variety of vegetables to your soup can help you achieve the recommended five to 8 daily servings of vegetables.

2.     Soup keeps you hydrated. Because the major content of soup is water, filling up on broth-based soups like chicken noodle or vegetable soup can help you meet your fluid intake requirements.

3.     Soup aids in weight loss. Due to its low-calorie nature and its ability to increase satiety, regularly consuming soup can reduce your total calorie intake and can help in shedding some unwanted kilos.

4.     Soup is good for digestion. Fluids like soup and broth are generally easy to digest, but fiber-rich soups like vegetable and lentil soups can keep your digestive system healthy and prevent bloating and constipation.

5.     Soup improves your well-being. Soup, being a popular “comfort food”, is often associated with feelings of comfort and being cared for, which can boost your spirit and lift your mood.
