Even though we feel full and satisfied after a bowl of broth, it’s not like the fullness we experience after eating a bowl of pasta. “Soup can be a healthy and delicious way to create balance after a season of heavy meals or even a particularly indulgent weekend,” said Robin Foroutan, a registered dietitian and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “It gives your digestive system a chance to reboot and de-bloat.” Regularly eating soup might help you shed some unwanted pounds, too. Several studies have shown that when soup is eaten before a meal, it fills you up and helps you eat fewer calories in one sitting. In one study, when people consumed soup for a snack instead of chips and pretzels, they lost 50 percent more weight — even though both the soup and snacks, as well as the total day’s diet, had the same amount of calories. What’s the slimming secret of soup? Binding water into food slows down gastric emptying, keeping your stomach fuller for longer, accord- ing to Barbara Rolls, a professor of nutritional sciences at Pennsylvania State University who has authored studies on soup and its effects on satiety. Plus, she added, “The water in soup adds weight and volume so that you can have a satisfying amount without too many calories.” The weight loss benefits of soup have led to soup cleansing — a trend that has become increasingly popular over the last few years. In fact, according to Pinterest, “souping” is one of the top 10 food trends for 2018. And unlike juicing, which removes fiber from fruit, soup can help to sta- bilize blood sugar for more sustained energy, especially when it includes tons of fiber-rich veggies, protein and healthy fat, according to Foroutan. “Soups still contains the whole food, so fiber is still intact, but it’s easier to digest because it’s cooked,” said Foroutan. Juice is high in phyto- nutrients and antioxidants, but if it’s made from all fruit, it can be very high in sugars, and this can cause one’s blood sugar to spike and drop, which can lead to feeling more tired overall, she explained. Foroutan said having only soup for a few days or only soup for dinner for a week is fine — she even does it herself — as long as you pay attention to your body and listen to its cues.
