Doctors have compiled a list of the healthiest soups

Doctors have studied soups for their benefits to the human body and identified the healthiest first courses.

Despite the truism of the benefits of eating “liquid” dishes, it turned out that not all soups are equally healthy. Studying the extensive list of soups, doctors critically evaluate the usefulness of most first courses.

Based on medical opinions, you should consume sour cabbage soup, rassolnik, solyanka and borscht in meat broth in moderation. The reason for “caution” is the active substances that the ingredients of the dish may contain. These components often irritate the stomach, which should alert people with digestive problems.

In addition to warnings, experts have compiled a list of definitely healthy first courses. It included: noodles in low-fat chicken broth, vegetable puree soups, sea fish soup, and cream of mushroom soup (if there is no intolerance to mushrooms). In general, all creamy and puree warm soups are very beneficial for the stomach. In addition to the fact that they are easily digestible, such dishes also help other dishes to be better digested.

It is curious that among the first courses there are even soups with medicinal properties. Doctors distinguish three types: broccoli soup, tomato soup and pumpkin soup. Broccoli soup is beneficial because it contains sulforaphane, a substance that protects against breast and colorectal cancer. The effect of a beneficial effect on the body is achieved due to the resistance of the component to the heat treatment process. Tomato soup is beneficial due to its lycopene content, which protects men from prostate cancer. The unique property of lycopene to accumulate during heat treatment of tomatoes makes the soup even more healthy. Doctors recommend pumpkin soup based on the presence of beta-carotene in pumpkin, which is converted into vitamin A in the human body, which is important for normally functioning vision.
