What are the benefits of eating soup? Soup is a quick, hot meal that offers plenty of health benefits. You can throw a variety of ingredients into a slow cooker in the morning before you leave for work or school and return home to a delicious meal in the evening. The healthiest soups include fresh, low-fat ingredients and a minimum of salt and extra fat. You can use up leftovers in a soup pot and create new variations of favorite recipes, since soup lends itself to experimentation. Vegetables The American Heart Association recommends adults consume eight or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day. That's 4 ½ cups. Soups can contribute to that total. Almost any vegetable lends itself to use in soup, from creamy squash or tomato bisques to vegetable beef or chicken vegetable soup. Add fresh or frozen vegetables to canned soups to increase the servings of vegetables and add flavor. Nutrients Soups made with beans and lean meats such as fish provide lean protein. Beans also give you fiber. Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene. Vegetables in soup contain many vitamins, such as A and C. Cream soups supply calcium and vitamin D. Low Fat Most soups, if made with lean meat, are low in fat, making them a good choice for anyone concerned about fat in his diet. Use fat-free broths and lean meat to reduce the fat content of soups. se skin milk for cream soups; or, instead of milk, you can use pureed white beans to thicken soup. To further reduce the fat content of your soup without sacrificing flavor, chill it and skim off the fat before reheating and serving. Filling Because soup contains so much water it fills you up with fewer calories. Research at Penn State University discovered that students who ate chicken and rice soup instead of a chicken and rice casserole, consumed fewer calories yet reported being equally satisfied. Phil’s Soup kitchen I love soups. All kinds of soup. While most people have a sweet tooth, I don’t – soup is my thing. And so here’s how I do my soup. Basically, I have a simple foundation that I complement with low-cal canned soups – my favorite being chicken noodle soup. The foundation
Just cut all these in small pieces and sauté them with garlic paste. Just as they all become soft, add water and chicken bouillon. That’s it. You should prepare enough for the week, aka 2 big bowls per day. Daily soup prep and assembly Basically, what I do is to take my soup foundation and run it through my nutribullet to get a really nice velvety base. Then I add organic chicken noodle like Yes or Rao’s. And then one more flavor if I feel like it, for example Amy’s black bean and vegetable canned soups. And voila! Healthy, hearty, and filling soup every day! @philippemora > I come from the future. I work and I workout. Always be kind and passionate.

Wow! It’s been about a year since I last updated my fitness log. But a lot of things have happened, of course – besides the pandemic. I changed my job and moved to Northern Colorado and most importantly – and finally! I managed to shed 30lbs and I am just getting started: 20 more lbs to get back in the game. So, I thought I would now get back to my log. It’s so important today to get back to fitness and clean eating and to stay there in the age of covid. And after being a really bad boy during the first lockdown, I decided that working virtually and more in control of my social life (or lack thereof = no temptations!) was a fantastic opportunity to get back on track to my athlete shape of 5 years ago! Fort Collins was founded as a military outpost of the United States Army in 1864. It succeeded a previous encampment, known as Camp Collins, on the Cache La Poudre River, near what is known today as Laporte. Camp Collins was erected during the Indian wars of the mid-1860s to protect the Overland mail route that had been recently relocated through the region. Travelers crossing the county on the Overland Trail would camp there, but a flood destroyed the camp in June 1864. Afterward, the commander of the fort wrote to the commandant of Fort Laramie in southeast Wyoming, Colonel William O. Collins, suggesting that a site several miles farther down the river would make a good location for the fort. The post was manned originally by two companies of the 11th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry and never had walls. Today, Fort Collins produces 70 percent of Colorado's craft beer and seven percent of the United States, but my favorite fun fact about Fort Collins is that Fort Collins is home to some of the famous Budweiser Clydesdales horses. If you’ve seen Budweiser ads over the years, it’s likely you’re familiar with the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses: they’re known for their long white hairs on their lower legs that cover their hooves, Clydesdale horses have long been used for Budweiser promotion and even made appearances at two presidential inaugurations. Anheuser-Busch owns a total of about 250 Clydesdale horses, which are kept at various locations throughout the country, including in Fort Collins. The Clydesdales West Coast Team is housed at the company’s brewing facility in Fort Collins, and other touring teams are based in St. Louis, Missouri and Merrimack, New Hampshire. @philippemora > I come from the future.
