Soups are reported to be the most highlighted foods this winter. On one hand as soups become hearty, the level of cholesterol shoots up in our bodies. An article points out the fact that amidst broth-based, tomato-based, cream-based and flour-thickened soups, the flour-thickened ones can be anywhere from 260 to 520 calories, because of cream and dairy.
Therefore your chicken stocks, vegetable stocks, tomato pureed or vegetable pureed, seafood pureed or chicken pureed soup bases are low in calories. Soups are primarily concocted for health and they should be kept as less gooey as possible.
Bisques and clear soups are mostly made of herbs, seasonings and condiments and they are best things to reserve the uniqueness in the soups by preserving the natural flavors of the ingredients.
