Are soups healthy?
Experts suggest that soups are not only tasty but also filling and nutritious with optimum fibre content, which leaves less room for calorie-dense foods later. Further calling soups as an “energy booster”, Pratiksha Kadam, consultant, dietetics and nutrition, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Navi Mumbai, said: “If you feel low on energy, ensure that you are properly hydrated. Additionally, eating home-cooked, well balanced meals also acts as a quick fix for this. Consuming liquids in the form of soups or buttermilk help boost energy levels as well.”
According to nutritionist Soumya B Hegde, one should ideally make healthy and thick soups like mushroom soup, broccoli soup, or mixed vegetable soup. “If you are aiming to make a healthy soup for weight loss, avoid adding sugar, honey, corn or butter as they have lots of calories,” she told indianexpress.com.
Anshula, who is a big foodie and loves to try out different foods, revealed in an AMA that she, however, prefers to stick to one type of breakfast, especially when home.
“I am a creature of habit. Same breakfast when I’m home, almost every morning!” she wrote, sharing that she has “5-6 soaked almonds + one egg half fried on top of a piece of amaranth bread+ black coffee”.

In another AMA, Anshula, who has lost oodles of weight in the recent times, also shared her lunch, snack, and dinner preferences.
Lunch: Typical Indian — 1-2 ragi rotis, 100-150 grams boneless chicken + big bowl of sabzi. “I am not picky about vegetables. Cook it Indian style and I will have just about anything,” she said. Occasionally, she likes to indulge in a quinoa or lentil-based pasta with a vegetable salad and some grilled chicken or chicken wings.
Snack: Depending on how hungry she is, or if it’s pre or post workout, any of the following two things: A fruit with nut or nut butter. An egg sandwich or vegetable sandwich, or some chicken and vegetable kebabs; or a protein shake with some nuts, or a thepla or two.
Dinner: Roasted chicken or tandoori chicken with grilled vegetables on the side, or ragi rotis with boneless chicken cooked Indian style + a bowl of sabzi (Indian curry).
Post-dinner: Revealing that she stays up late, Anshula shared that if she gets hungry post dinner, it’s usually a protein shake or a small protein-based snack. However, born with a sweet tooth, Anshula also revealed that she likes to dig into desserts like “most gooey chocolate cakes, the ones with the molten lava in the middle”.
