Reasons You Should Be Eating More Soup

 
  • It’s as nutritious as a salad. We tend to prefer warmer meals during the winter months. So if you can’t fathom the thought of a cold salad for lunch or dinner, opt for soup instead. Cooking the vegetables also makes them softer and easier to digest.
  • Keeps you hydrated. We often underestimate our hydration needs in the winter and can become dehydrated as our craving for water decreases during this time. The good news is broth-based soups are primarily water, making soup the ideal way to stay hydrated during the cold, dry months.
  • It’s filling and satisfying. Soups are a great way to introduce more fiber into your meals. By infusing our recipe with fiber-rich noodles, veggies, and beans, you’ll give your body essential daily nutrients and feel more satisfied for longer between meals.
