Is Vegetable Soup Healthy?

This vegetable soup is low in carbs and calories and is packed full of fiber and water! Starting a meal with a broth and vegetable soup can help lower your overall calorie intake and also increase your serving of vegetables in the meal, helping you feel full on less calories.

Also because soup is served hot and requires you to slowly eat it, it forces you to slow down during your meal, helping your hunger signals reach your brain by the end of your meal instead of 10 minutes after your meal.
