Benefits of homemade soup vs canned or store bought:
Fresh Ingredients: Homemade soups are made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, ensuring a more vibrant flavor and better nutritional value.
No Preservatives or Additives: Unlike canned soups, which often contain preservatives and artificial additives to extend shelf life, homemade soups are free from these chemicals.
Customizable Flavors: You can adjust the seasoning, spices, and ingredients to match your personal taste or dietary needs.
Less Sodium: Canned soups and store bought soups are notorious for being high in sodium, but with homemade soups, you can control the salt content, making them heart-healthier.
More Nutrients: Fresh ingredients retain more vitamins and minerals compared to those that have been canned or processed
No BPA: Some canned goods contain BPA (a chemical used in can linings), which you can avoid entirely when making soup from scratch.
Better for the Environment: Making homemade soup reduces the need for single-use cans, which are not always recyclable and contribute to waste.
Feel-Good Factor: There’s something satisfying about cooking your own meal from scratch, and you can even freeze portions for future use, saving time later!
Perfect if you are staring your phase 1 of the Metabolic Balance Program or if you are just trying to eat healthy!
