Ordinary Vegan Podcast #88-Soup Enhancing Tips To Liven Up Your Vegan Soups

Several studies that have tested the effects of consuming soup on a regular basis found that routinely eating soup can reduce energy intake, enhance satiety, and promote weight loss. Vegan soups are especially satiating because high fiber vegetables are high volume foods. This is called energy density. Energy density is the number of calories in a particular weight of food. It means you can have satisfying portions of low-energy-dense foods with a relatively low-calorie content.

Such high fiber foods like broccoli, squash, peas, cabbage, spinach and sweet potatoes are high volume foods. They add bulk to your meals and fill up your stomach without a lot of calories. They also keep you full longer.

And vegan soups don't have to be boring. There are a lot of ways to liven them up, so today's podcast is dedicated to vegan soup enhancing tips along with:

• Using aromatics to add depth and flavor
• Why soup is only good as your broth
• Using seeds to add flavor
• Whole grains to elevate heartiness
• Umami flavors
• Crunch and brightness
