Eating a healthy, clear soup at the beginning of a meal can help to reduce your total calorie intake in that meal. Â Soup made with plenty of vegetables can partially fill up your stomach because of the volume and fiber present in vegetables. Â Warm soup in cold weather also has a feel-good factor. Â If pepper, garlic or ginger is added to the soup, it also helps open up your airways. Â But remember that adding cream, whole milk, butter or corn flour can shoot up the calorie value of the soup. Â So stay with the clear vegetable version.
