Highlights
There is something about a big bowl of hot comforting soup that makes us forget all our day's woes. Soup has been our go-to favourite in sickness and in health. There are reasons aplenty why it is such a hit with dieters. It is filling; the high-liquid content of soups imparts a sense of satiety. If you feel full, you would not give in to cravings so easily and maintain a safe distance from all things fried and fattening. You can also be super creative with your soup preparation too and make it healthier. Think herbs, spices, fresh veggies, mushrooms and greens. Unlike juicing, you do not lose a whole lot of fibre in 'souping', and fibre is a crucial component of a weight-loss diet.

One of the most preferred ingredients in a soup is spinach. Spinach is rich in fibre; it is the perfect example of a 'good carb'. It does not get digested too soon, it stays in your system for a while, giving you the feeling of fullness. Spinach is also super low in calories and replete with nutrition. Spinach is a rich source of iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, folate and vitamin A.
