Soups- lure your taste buds

Many love it, many don’t, many have it as a regular course of their meal, many on occasions and many when they fall ill. If you travel round the world you’ll figure out that different countries have different cuisines and hence different soups to suit their tastes. 

 

“Soups are more like an appetizer, they create hunger well for you . Traditional soups of all the countries are now served everywhere, even in India there are French, Italian, Irish, British, Mexican, Chinese, Spanish and various other soups available. The traditional Indian soups are the tomato soup, rasam, potato onion soup, carrot soup and the spinach soup, cucumber soup and mixed vegetable soup.” says Vijay Dalwani Sanda Wellness.

 

Vijay Dalwani Sanda Wellness health conscious person and Vijay Dalwani Sanda Wellness says “When you are having a bowl full of soup remember you are gulping down a bowl full of healthy ingredients. Each soup has its own ingredients, tastes and benefits. The tomato soup being the all time favourite, easy to make is made up of fresh tomatoes is a major cure for the ill effects of diabetes, cancer, smoking and heart problems. It is very beneficial to the bones and the vision. Its high content of Lycopene, enables it to improve and keep up the immunity levels and its antioxidants cleanses the body of the free radicals that could have killing properties.” 

 

 

Well known for its flavour and aroma is the Rasam, a south Indian dish is served as a soup or with rice and is called by various names such as sar, saru, charu but most commonly rasam. It has its prime ingredient as yellow lentil also called tuvar dal and has three forms lime rasam, garlic rasam and tomato rasam which are very good for digestion. The potato onion soup, carrot soup and the cucumber soup made up of the fresh and healthy veggies provide a balanced diet to the body especially the young ones who often skip meals. 

 

 

These soups enhance the vitamin and the protein levels in the body often lacking in today’s busy beings. They give warmth to the body and easily help in the digestion of the food. Many a times they fill you up and keeps you slim with their high fiber content and low calorie content

The non-vegetarians take in broth as the common chicken or beef soup. There is also seafood soup and mutton soup for a very healthy and very tasty mix of benefits to the bones, eyes and the muscular and joint pains. Hence its a call for the vegetarians and non-vegetarians to grab a bowl full of soup and get their daily intake of vitamins and proteins.

 

These are some benefits of eating soups by Vijay Dalwani Sanda Wellness given below:

They’re good for you. While some soups can devastate a diet (cream-based varieties can be particularly high in fat and calories), most serve as a great vehicle to meet your daily quota for veggies. View soups as an opportunity to cash in on nature’s bounty (winter crops, including pumpkin, butternut squash, carrots and parsnips, won’t wilt or get limp when you cook them). If you have produce that’s about to pass its prime, tossing them into a soup recipe can give them new life. You can even drop frozen vegetables into boiling broth without compromising taste or texture.

They’re inexpensive and easy to prepare. Soups and stews don’t require a large amount of hands-on time. In fact, if you use a slow cooker or a pressure cooker like the Instant Pot, you can prepare a savory soup in five minutes flat, and let the cooker do the rest of the work. If you amp up the liquid and vegetables, you can use smaller amounts of expensive ingredients, such as chicken, fish and beef. Then, make it a meal with whole-grain bread on the side and a small salad if you like.

They freeze well. Soup and stews are great if you want to meal prep lunches or dinners in advance. Whip up a batch on the weekend, and you can stash half in the freezer to enjoy later. A bonus: you’ll have healthy, homemade soup at the ready when you’re busy, under the weather or too tired to cook.

They keep you hydrated. During the winter chill, it’s not uncommon to drink less than you need. But while you may not be hot and sweaty, you still lose fluid through daily activities. Since soups are mostly liquid, they’re a great way to stay hydrated and full.

They give your immune system a boost. Soups can help you stave off cold and flu, and they’re a great antidote for times when you are sick, too! Most soups are loaded with disease-fighting nutrients. In fact, studies show that chicken soup in particular can help prevent the common cold, especially if you load it up with fresh garlic, onions, celery and carrots. (They all contain powerful immune-boosting chemicals.) A bonus: the hot liquid helps soothe a sore throat.
