Benefits of Eating Soup

Even the In Summer

When most of us think of soup we don’t think of the hot summer months as a time put soup at the top of the list as a meal. Why would I want to eat soup year-round, even in the summer? Soup as many benefits even in summer months when life is busy and you need a quick meal that feeds your body.

Soup Is Yummy & So Much More

Why would you want to make soup part of your meals on a regular basis or the meal itself? I can think of many reasons why soup is good to eat and great for your body. Let’s take a look at the benefits:

Soup Benefits:

• Soup is easy to digest and good for digestive healing because many soups have a base of chicken or beef bone broth that heals the digestive track. Even if you use a quick soup, like our slow-cooker soups you can add beef or chicken bone broth to them and increase the digestive healing properties of the soup. Bone broth, whether chicken or beef is so easy to make and freeze to add to any soup when you want to add a little added nutrition and healing properties.
• Soup is an affordable meal because it stretches a little meat a long way. Soup is also my go-to meal for large groups or my family because I can make up a large batch, freeze part and have plenty to feed everyone a hearty meal for a very affordable price.

• Soup is easy to make! It’s amazing how combining a few ingredients and simmering or slow cooking in a crock pot for hours can make one of your yummiest meals. Soup is a complete one pot meal with not much effort and minimal clean-up. Chop up your ingredients and toss them into a pot or slow cooker and let it simmer away and fill your house with wonderful aromas. When it comes to after meal clean-up you have one pot in the sink after an incredible meal.
• Soup is good for large batch cooking and freezing. One of my favorite parts about making soup is after you create your soup, eat what you want that evening or afternoon and then freeze the rest in portion sizes that work for your family. Gourmet soup on demand from your freezer, it doesn’t get easier or better than that!
