Eating a bowl of soup for lunch and/or dinner several times a week is one of my favorite strategies for staying slim. (So much so, I wrote a best-selling eCookbook of Slimming WW friendly soup recipes!
Did you know that studies show that people who eat a broth-based soup as part of a meal, especially a chunky one, eat less at the next meal, and fewer total calories throughout the day?
Probably because broth-based vegetable soups are packed with lots of water and fiber, so you feel satisfied with relatively few calories.
