Below are 4 soup dishes to eat instead of dinner to help you lose weight quickly without worrying about hunger.

Mixed vegetable soup

Mixed vegetable soup is an ideal dish with vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, cauliflower and spinach.

According to a study by the British Dietetic Association (BDA), vegetables are rich in fiber and water, helping the body feel full for a long time without consuming too many calories.

Vitamins and minerals in vegetables also support metabolism, effectively burning excess fat.

In particular, antioxidants in vegetables such as beta-carotene and polyphenols help reduce inflammation and prevent the accumulation of visceral fat.

Chicken and mushroom soup

Chicken and mushroom soup is a high-protein, low-fat dish. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the protein in chicken (especially chicken breast) helps increase satiety, reduce cravings, and promote fat burning in the body.

Mushrooms are also a natural source of vitamin D and fiber, which helps control weight effectively. Mushrooms contain beta-glucan, a type of soluble fiber that helps improve gut microflora and supports better digestion.

Pumpkin soup with ginger

Pumpkin is a high-fiber food but low in calories, with only about 26 calories per 100 grams. A study from Harvard University found that pumpkin contains antioxidants such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which help reduce the risk of excess fat storage.

When combined with ginger - a spice with thermogenic properties - this soup helps boost metabolism, stimulate calorie burning and reduce belly fat quickly.

Ginger also helps improve digestion and reduce feelings of fullness and discomfort after meals.

Seaweed soup cooked tofu

Seaweed is rich in iodine, which helps to improve the function of the thyroid gland - an important organ in controlling metabolism. Tofu provides high-quality vegetable protein and is low in calories.

According to research from the Korean Institute of Medicine (KIM), seaweed soup with tofu helps maintain a feeling of fullness for a long time and limits cravings. At the same time, seaweed contains alginate - a natural compound that helps reduce fat absorption from food, supporting the weight loss process effectively.

Recommended use:

When eating these soups instead of dinner, be careful not to add too much seasoning such as salt, sugar or fat to optimize the weight loss benefits. You can eat them with some raw vegetables or low-sugar fruits to ensure nutritional balance.
