A bowl of warm soup, with steam rising off it and scenting the room with an enchanting aroma, during the winter is some kind of magical. You almost feel giddy as you grab the bowl, clamping your hands around it for warmth. For some strange reason, perhaps a childlike notion, you feel as though your mom made it for you…and that makes it taste even better.
Soups are often rich in nutrient-dense vegetables, and the slow cooking helps these ingredients retain their nutritional value. Not only is soup easy to digest, but it is commonly a low calorie meal that works to keep you satiated without consuming excess calories. Unless your soup is chock full of cream, butter, sodium, or other unhealthy ingredients, most soup recipes are beneficial for healthy digestion because of their high-fiber content.
Do not waste your time opening a can of soup and warming it up in the microwave or in a pot on the stove.
