Nutritional values

The fish provides a lot of good things: vitamin B12 for blood formation, vitamin D for strong bones and niacin for smooth metabolism. In addition, fish contains particularly high-quality protein, is easier to digest than meat and even has better bioavailability than protein from dairy products.

This low-calorie food is ideal for everyone who likes to eat a high-protein diet in the evening. And if you want to do without carbohydrates, you can of course eat the soup without bread.
