gastroenterology Gut Health Insight

The ginger, onion, tomato, and cabbage bring some digestive support and a little fiber, so the soup feels light on the stomach in spite of the rich broth. But this one is quite heavy in fat and very high in sodium because of the stock, butter, and added salt, which can make it feel salty and sluggish if you have it often. A simple tip: pair it with something plain like steamed rice or have a smaller bowl, so the broth doesn’t end up being the whole meal.
