Soup is an all-time classic, whatever the weather. Some might even say it’s the best meal in the world, but did you know all these little facts about the ultimate warm-you-up-and-hit-the-spot food?
The word soup is of Sanskrit origin.
It is derived from the su and po, which means good nutrition...
No arguing there!
Thin soups became all the rage in Europe during the 17th century, because the spoon was invented. (Before spoons they drank soup straight from the bowl - classy!)
The spoon was invented to accommodate the giant ruffles that people wore around their necks at that time. The spoon made having soup much easier.
Steam is a real benefit. Sipping the hot soup and breathing in the steam helps clear congestion.
Soups are great as fillers when you are on a diet. Don’t want to stuff yourself at dinner? Have a pot of soup just before. It also makes for a smart low-cal snack. Simply pick up an undeniable classic like our Tomato & Herb to make sure you keep calories low and taste high. Have it with a slice of wholegrain toast for a tasty and healthy meal.
Do you often cringe at the sight of vegetables? The perfect way to incorporate vegetables in your diet is soup - not only is it nutritious but it’s very tasty too. Go for creamy Mushroom & Chives, the mushrooms provide critical Vitamin D while chives boost your
immune system.
