Daily Health Tips update for December 20, 2011:
Soups are often forgotten as a diet staple. In some cases, they have
become high calorie, cream laden entrees. But broth based soups filled
with vegetables and beans can provide a delicious, vitamin-rich meal.
Check out these other benefits below:
Nutrition:
Adding vegetables to a soup can get you your minimum serving amount
per day. You can chop hearty veggies and add them to your soup, and
use pureed veggies like sweet potatoes or squash to add flavor and
texture to your broth.
Weight:
Consuming broth based soup before a meal can give you a feeling of
satiety and reduce the amount of food you eat during your main meal.
Easy:
Soup is quick and easy to prepare, and being able to add what you
want to soup makes it perfect for even picky eaters! You can add
all your ingredients to a slow cooker and have it ready to eat.
