7 reasons why homemade soups are good for you
“Soup is a lot like life. It’s all about what you put into it.” – Unknown
Not all soups are created equally. There are many canned, processed soups made in huge batches in factories. In order for them to be shelf stable and last for months, they have preservatives added. Even the refrigerated soups you find in the store are made in factories and still have preservatives added to them.
Then there is the homemade soup you’ll find at Rosie’s Sidekick Sandwich Shop. We’re not getting our soup from a food service company; we’re making it for you. Soup can be good for your health, but not when it is overly processed with a lot of preservatives.
Homemade soup can be good for you for several reasons:
1. Nutrient Density. Depending on the ingredients used, soup can be a nutrient-dense meal, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains often found in soups contribute to this.
2. Hydration. Soups, especially broth-based ones, contain water, which helps keep you hydrated. Staying hydrated is important for overall health and well-being.
3. Digestive Health. Many soups contain ingredients like vegetables, beans, and whole grains, which are rich in dietary fiber. Fiber aids digestion and can help prevent constipation.
4. Weight Management. Soups can be filling while being relatively low in calories, especially if they’re broth-based and loaded with vegetables. This can be helpful for those looking to manage their weight.
5. Warmth and Comfort. Warm soups can be soothing and comforting, particularly during cold weather or when you’re feeling under the weather. They can also help clear nasal passages if you have congestion.
6. Easy to Digest. Soups are often cooked for a long time, which can help break down ingredients, making them easier to digest. This can be especially beneficial for individuals with digestive issues or those recovering from illness.
7. Versatility. Soups can be easily customized to include a variety of ingredients, making them a flexible and convenient way to meet your nutritional needs.
