Is soup good for meal planning?
Soup is one of the most filling-per-calorie meals you can choose. Brothy and vegetable soups are usually well under 200 kcal per bowl.
Creamy soups (mushroom, leek, chowders) are higher — 250–350 kcal — but still moderate compared with most lunches.
How to use soup in a meal plan
- Soup + a slice of wholemeal bread for lunch
- Big batch of vegetable soup as a low-cal default
- Add cooked lentils or beans for more protein
- Pair with a piece of fruit for a balanced meal
