Low Calorie Soups

The Quick and Easy Alternative to Microwave Dinners...

Low calorie soups can play an important role in most diet plans, whether they are detox diets , quick weight loss diets or low fat diet plans (all of which are described in more detail throughout the site). Choosing to make them yourself rather than buying them pre-packaged also has benefits which go beyond just the diet itself though.


In today’s modern age, we sometimes take for granted the fact that we can buy almost any food or meal that we want ready cooked or made. All we need do is heat it or pop it in the microwave ‘et Voila!’ Dinner is ready! However, making your own soups is not that difficult, does not take too long, and guess what? you will burn a few calories whilst doing it!


There is also the price factor to take into consideration. Creating your ownlow calorie soups will in the long run prove to be more economical than buying them in a can or a carton. Vegetables are cheap (especially when bought from the market), and as they make up the base of most soups in the lower calorie range, a cost saving can be made. In addition, from an environmental point of view, there will be virtually no recycling needed when creating your own soups from fresh produce.


In terms of being part of a diet, low calorie soups can play a vital role. Either as a lunch or a dinner, it is a way of reducing the overall calorie intake for the day, whilst at the same time, providing the body with the valuable nutrients. It can make part of a healthy diet for women and men alike, and is a useful aid in weight loss.


Another positive aspect about making your own low calorie soups, is that it can be fun coming up with your own recipes, and also, if you have kids, a great way to get them involved in the kitchen. This will then help to set them on the path to a healthier lifestyle, where food is both prepared and cooked in the kitchen as opposed to simply heated up.


There are dozens of recipes available for homemade soups, and very few are complex. Some can take just a few minutes to prepare, whilst others may take a little longer. We all lead busy lives, and so if you fear that a lack of time will prevent you from creating your own soups, then you could try setting aside an hour or so on a Saturday or Sunday to prepare a few different ones to last you the week. They will keep fine for several days in the fridge and much longer in the freezer.
