Nutritional values

With this soup you feast yourself slim. With not even 200 calories per serving, you still provide the body with a good supply of various nutrients. Potassium is the most important mineral nutrient. Together with the asparagine acid contained in asparagus, potassium contributes to dehydration - a desired effect in weight loss programmes!

To bring a little more filling fibre into play, sprinkle the soup with croutons. You can also easily make the toasted bread cubes yourself: Dice whole grain toast or bread scraps and fry them in a coated pan with a little oil. Done!
