Nutrition & Health Benefits

A serving of this soup has only around 140 calories but a hefty 6.5g of protein – not too bad for an entrée soup. It’s also rich in fat at over 8g. Still, do stick to one serving as it will give you 8g of net carbs. Carrots provide lots of vitamin A, which is important for skin and eye health. Lightly cooked cabbage, on the other hand provides a nice dose of vitamin C, an important antioxidant vitamin.
