The dietary and draining 100-calorie soup

The dietary and draining 100-calorie soup

Do you love soups? I do, but the big problem with soups and the like is that they are often indigestible, and paradoxically cause water retention.

In fact, boiled vegetables retain their mineral salts, with the result that yes, we keep ourselves light, but after the meal we feel heaviness and swelling.

This diet soup is phenomenal.
With the right preparation and the right mix of ingredients it is particularly deflating, it is very low-calorie (104 calories per serving) but also has 5 grams of protein, 2 times more than an average serving of minestrone.

Ideal on its own as a compensation meal, or followed by lean meat or fish (120g) or 150g cottage cheese for a 250-calorie dinner!
Perfect, practically.

The recipe I got from the amazing site Eat this, not that!
