The Nutritional Value of Soups


Nutritional Value

The nutritional value of the sauce will differ with the type of soup you make. Flour contributes carbohydrates, fat such as butter or oil will contribute fat to your diet, meat will give you protein, and vegetables are a good source of vitamins and minerals. Milk is a good source of calcium. Eggs will contribute protein and fat.

Some commercially prepared soups are high in sodium.  It is important to read the labels when preparing canned or packaged soups to ensure they meet your nutritional needs.
