Healthy, because
The floury potatoes make the vegetable soup nice and creamy and at the same time bring satiating fibre, which is also good for our intestines. The onion and leek contain mustard oils which have an antibiotic effect and these can thus render pathogens in the mouth and digestive tract ineffective.
Even smarter
The creamy vegetable soup can be easily taken away the next day for a quick lunch. You can either heat it up on the spot or pour it hot into a thermos flask in the morning and enjoy it warm at lunchtime. A slice of wholemeal bread goes well with the soup.
