Soup Recipes
Soup recipes are some of the most valuable for any cook at any level.
Offering variety, health benefits, ease and a range of great tastes for any palette – it has long been considered a mere starter course to a main meal, or something to ease a cold or sore throat.
Yet, this is no more, with many of us appreciating getting ourselves back in the kitchen – looking to get involved every step of the way, soup is not long a means to an end but the main meal at many dinner parties.
Benefits
Soup is not only low in fat, but most specifically – and importantly – low in saturated fat. Very important for those who are looking to or require taking care of their hearts.
Whilst soup has become more than the go to meal when feeling unwell, it is ideal for recuperation and rehabilitating your stomach after and during illness.
It has been said that incorporating soy based soups such as Miso into your diet can help lower breast cancer. A Japanese study showed that the breast cancer rates in the East are around ten times lower than those in the West where soy is less consumed.
Soup also offers a fantastic dietary option for those looking to lose weight quickly and preferably for a short period of time – not only is soup healthy and low in fat, but offers such a wide range of tastes that you will not become bored.
Soups
Thicker soups such as those which contain puréed vegetables, béchamel sauce and eggs can be eaten as a main dish and are also a fantastic way of introducing vegetables into your diet.
For a modern twist, cold soups such as Gazpacho and Borscht are a great option, especially in the warmer summer months.
