Soup as a Meal
Vegetable soup is an ideal meal because;
- It's easy to prepare and it keeps in the fridge for days.
- Vegetable Soup doubles as a filling meal with some grain bread or as a FAIL-SAFE-SNACK which can kill your appetite in an instant. Bowl or cup - your choice.
- Soup is low in kilojoules/calories (energy) but high in fibre to fill you up without empty kJ/calories - vegetables are nutrient dense.
- And most important - vegetable soup gets your numbers up. The longest living, healthiest races of people in the world consume 15 or more varieties of plant foods every day. This soup gives you 12 in one hit!
Dr John Tickell says that Vegetable Soup provides the VARIETY of plant foods that the human machine is searching for each day.
"Health Expectancy is far more important than Life Expectancy."
