It used to be that soup was an everyday occurrence. Today we’re moving away from it a bit, which is a shame! They are a huge wealth of vitamins and minerals and are great for your daily diet.
In soups various ingredients are combined: vegetables, meat, groats. Soup itself is not caloric, so you can eat it to your heart’s content even on a weight loss diet. Just be careful about the amount of additives: potatoes, pasta, etc.
In addition, soups are wonderfully warming on cold days, and the vegetables present in them, such as garlic and onions, are a huge support on the way to the best possible immunity. If you have trouble motivating yourself to eat vegetables on a daily basis, it’s in soup that you can sneak them in.
