9 times the health of soup

  1. Soup is always possible. Whether it's a nice light vegetable soup in the spring, a cold gazpacho in the summer or a creamy pumpkin soup in the fall. And on a cold winter's day, we of course enjoy a lot of crispy bread. Nine times the (un) healthy of soup.

1. Vegetable

  1. Soup is a very easy way to eat vegetables. How many vegetables you get in a plate of soup is of course strongly dependent on what you put in your soup yourself. A pan with 600 grams of vegetables in a liter of water for four people will give you about 150 grams of vegetables. Then you are already well on your way for the recommended 250 grams.

2. Moisture

  1. With a cup of soup you not only get the recommended daily amount of vegetables more easily: it also helps to maintain your moisture balance. A portion of soup is 250 milliliters. At least one eighth of the 1.5 to 2 liters of water you need every day.

3. Fills well

  1. One of the great benefits of soup is its satiating effect. Soup fills the stomach, which expands and sends signals to the satiety center in the brain. A soup before a meal ensures that you eat less, but a meal soup can also be filling. Soup with pieces of vegetables saturates longer than a soup that is completely pureed. This is highly dependent on the stock. A watery broth makes you feel less full than a thickened or thick soup with (some) of the ingredients mashed.

4. Vitamin and fiber

  1. A soup in which you process vegetables yourself is full of fiber: the less you process the vegetables, the more fiber. In addition, vegetables are an important source of vitamins and minerals. When cooking the soup, something is lost, but there are also substances that come into their own better through cooking. Lycopene from tomatoes, for example, is much easier to absorb after cooking. The same goes for beta-carotene in carrots.

5. Slim soup

  1. Most soups contain relatively little fat, but of course you can make it as crazy as you want. Cream, butter and fatty stock can also turn soup into a calorie bomb. Do you make your own stock from chicken legs or a marrow pipe? Let the stock cool down first: you can then skim off the fat from the soup. Starch containers such as potatoes, pasta and rice also give a soup more calories. You don't necessarily need potato for a bound soup either: zucchini, pumpkin and celeriac work just as well.

6. Be careful with salt

  1. With a homemade soup you determine how much salt you want to add. Usually you don't even need salt at all: herbs also enrich the taste. Be aware of the fact that many stock cubes are quite salty, they sometimes contain 7 grams per liter. Most salt is found in ready-to-eat and instant soups.

7. Health Benefits

  1. Several studies have been conducted into the benefits of soup. Among other things, to the famous pan of chicken soup when you are sick. The soup strengthens resistance according to various studies. Chicken soup also appears to improve digestion and help repair your nasal mucous membranes. To prevent colds and flu, it is smarter to eat tomato soup. The lycopene in tomato soup benefits your immune system. In addition, regular soup eaters would suffer less from increased cholesterol and obesity.

8. On a diet with soup

  1. A soup every day is not bad at all, but you should definitely not overdo it. Living on soup is not a good idea, it is too one-sided and does not provide all the necessary nutrients. The same goes for the soup diet. You can lose weight quickly by only eating soup, but that is temporary. As soon as you stop the diet, the kilos will be back on it in no time.

9. Keep soup

  1. When you prepare soup, you often make a large pan. A great idea, because you can then eat the soup for several days. It is important that you keep the soup well, otherwise it will quickly sour. Let the soup cool down as soon as possible and do not put it in the fridge until it is really cold. It is better not to leave soup at room temperature for too long and it is also unwise to heat it up several times. In these ways bacteria are given free rein. Portion your fresh soup and only heat what you really need. You can also freeze soup in small batches. Looking for tasty soups? Then download our free recipe booklet Soup.
