Easy to prepare and ultra-comforting, vegetable soups can be a good option for a balanced meal in winter. A dietitian-nutritionist explains how to choose them wisely at the supermarket.
Rich in vitamins, minerals and above all very hydrating, vegetable soup is an ideal dish in winter for a light and comforting meal. Be careful, however, with certain industrial soups, which may turn out not to be as healthy as you think, and contain additives, added sugars, fat or a high salt content. In a video posted on her Tik Tok account, the dietician-nutritionist @latiktokdiet analyzes the composition of around ten supermarket vegetable soups.
The specialist analyzes the compositions of each of them and provides advice on how to choose this type of product in supermarkets. The key points to look out for in the list of ingredients: the number of ingredients present (the list should be as short as possible), the vegetable content (they must appear in the first ingredients), the presence of additives and the quantity salt. The expert also advises favor frozen soups which, thanks to the freezing system, make it possible to better preserve all the minerals and vitamins of vegetables.
