]]>Avoid Instant Soups
If instant soups happen to be your go-to quick meal, keep in mind they’re pretty unhealthy. Most of them contain a high amount of salt, preservatives, and highly processed ingredients, so they’re best avoided.
High Sodium Content
It’s important not to overdo it with salt when you’re making soup, especially if you’re using canned soup. They often have a pretty high sodium content so it’s best to check a label before buying one.
Skip Heavy Thickeners
Many people turn to thickeners, such as full-fat milk, heavy cream, and butter to make their soups extra rich and creamy, but they’ll significantly up the calorie count and fat content of your soup.
Cut Down on Carbs
If you have a habit of eating soups loaded with pasta, rice, or potatoes, keep in mind they’re only adding extra carbs and calories to your healthy dish.
Ditch Bread & Croutons
Croutons and bread are common add-ins many people eat with their soup, but they’re just adding empty calories that you can do without.

]]>Vegan Broth
Most well-supplied grocery stores sell vegetable broth these days, but making your own is also an option. You can make your broth healthier and give it a richer flavor by picking your own ingredients, and onions, carrots, celery, and garlic are a good place to start.
No Dairy
Most people can’t imagine making a creamy soup without some dairy-based ingredients, but it’s not mission impossible. In addition to using naturally creamy veggies, you can replace dairy milk with plant-based alternatives and add some nut butters to the mix.
Using Slow Cooker
If you own a slow cooker, you should use it when making vegan soups because it can take them to a whole new level. This kitchen tool especially comes in handy when you’re using slow-cooking ingredients, such as dried beans and root veggies because it can help you stop them from overcooking.

]]>The Science Behind It
Well, when you have a low-calorie vegetable-filled soup with your lunch, you’ll consume fewer calories at lunch which will, in turn, result in eating less throughout the rest of the day. Soup helps you feel fuller for longer. In fact, soup happens to be more effective with weight loss than consuming a glass of water.
Which Soups Should You Eat?
The best soups are broth-based and clear soups because they’re lower in calories than cream-based, chowders, and pureed soups. For example, chicken soup has a lot fewer calories than cream of broccoli soup. These soups make great first course options and if you want a thicker soup, those work better as your main course. Just make sure there is lots of protein and low levels of sodium in them.
