Hello World! Welcome Friends! It is no secret that soup is comfort food. Were you also aware of just how good soup is for you? Depending on which soup you eat, the benefits of having a bowl of soup can be amazing.
With the increased responsibilities and less time, we live in a world of packaged foods and convenience; so it lends to the reason why so many people take vitamin and mineral supplements like a gluten-free probiotic to support their often compromised diet. One great thing about slow simmering soup is the fact that it can be a super nutrient packed dish with tons of vegetables, spices, and herbs. If you can get in the habit of making soup and storing it in single-serve containers you have all of a sudden provided yourself with food that is healthy and convenient all at once! As soon as your body gets in tune with your supplement protocol and a cleaner diet you can start to see results fast, whether it is weight loss, decreased blood pressure, or even healthier skin.
Perks
Soup offers some unexpected benefits that you may not be aware of. Typically the caloric intake from soup is lower than other foods, which means you can indulge in more soup and feel fuller on fewer calories. Those who eat soup regularly also consume more vegetables than non-soup enthusiasts; the main reason is that soups tend to be abundant in dark green and orange vegetables as well as legumes.
Soup can also help parents deliver otherwise unwanted vegetables to fussy children. If your child is resistant to the notion of eating certain vegetables, you can easily conceal the fact that they are eating them by dicing or puréeing them into a tasty soup.
User Friendly
Another added benefit of soup is how easy and user-friendly it is to prepare and store. As a rule, making soup is a fairly inexpensive meal to make. You can also make much more than you need and freeze what you don’t need immediately. Making soup can also save you money; if you have vegetables in the fridge you were meaning to make and haven’t gotten around to it yet. Instead of throwing them away, you can breathe new life into them by throwing them into a soup instead. On the other hand, if you wanted to make a certain soup and find that you may be lacking a certain veggie, you may not have to run out to the store if you have it frozen. You can easily throw frozen vegetables in a soup and not have to worry about compromising the taste or flavor.
Making soup for a meal or starter to a meal doesn’t have to even be labor-intensive. If you are like most people today and have to work all day, you can easily throw all the ingredients in a slow cooker, like a Crock-Pot, and leave it to simmer away while you go to work. You can walk into a fresh and homemade meal that is delicious and good for you and your family. Again, if you make more soup than you need, you can prepare lunches or quick dinners for another day by portioning them and freezing them for another time.
Healthy and Hydrated
Not only does soup offer you a simple, inexpensive and delicious meal choice that is easy to meal prep days or weeks ahead of time but an added benefit is offering you additional hydration. Especially in the winter months, when overall your fluid intake is less than other times of the year, eating soup also helps to hydrate you by simply eating your soup for a meal.
In short, soup is a quick fix to keep you healthy and your body happy. Why not have a look for some new recipes and see what new and exciting soups you can spice up your mealtimes with?
