The Benefits of Asian Soups

In winter, our bodies become especially vulnerable. Temperature fluctuations and reduced sunlight negatively affect our well-being, vitamin levels drop, and the immune system becomes weaker.

One of the best and most enjoyable ways to support your physical condition during this period is with hot Asian soups. Tom Yum, Pho Bo, and Miso Soup each have their own flavors and properties, so we decided to tell you more about each of them. Read on and add your favorite to your order!

Tom Yum

Our bodies love spicy, hot, and sour foods, and this soup contains ginger, lime, lemongrass, and red chili. This combination improves digestion and blood circulation, helps warm you up, and helps you recover faster from a runny nose or a mild cold thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.

Shrimp and seafood are rich in protein, zinc, and selenium. They help the body become more resistant to viruses and improve the condition of the skin and cardiovascular system.

Pho Bo

This soup is made with one of the healthiest broths — beef broth. It contains a high amount of iron and amino acids, which give us more energy to work, especially on gloomy days when all you want is to stay in bed.

Natural antiseptics are present here too — namely cilantro and mint, which contain vitamins C and K, as well as essential oils.

In this recipe, beef provides the valuable protein our immune system needs — boiled and sliced into tender pieces.

Miso Soup

The state of our gut microbiome affects both our mental and physical well-being. That’s why we also need probiotics — and this soup has plenty of them. It’s all thanks to miso paste, a fermented ingredient. Because of this, miso soup is rich in B vitamins, including B12, which is very rare in plant-based foods.

Soy isoflavones from miso paste help reduce free radicals and support the body during chronic inflammation. This makes it easier to fight off colds and recover more quickly.

Wakame seaweed adds iodine and antioxidants. These nutrients are often lacking in our diet, yet they are incredibly beneficial for thyroid health and metabolism.
