Nutritional values

Whether in classic red or, as here in green: thanks to a concentrated load of vegetables, the cold soup is a hot tip for the nutritionally conscious. It is stingy with fat and calories, but it satiates in a gentle way due to the abundant fibre. Plenty of vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances also ensure fitness - even at 30 degrees in the shade.

Your kid doesn't like to eat vegetables? With this soup he gets a big portion without noticing it. But then leave out the chilli pepper and season with just a little pepper. By the way: the soup is also ideal for picnics or lunch breaks: just keep it cool in a thermos flask!
