The Benefits of Using a Soup Maker – Group Talk – Week Commencing 12th January 2026.

“While this soup is cooking, I want to talk a little about why I love using a soup maker, especially for weight loss and overall wellbeing. A soup maker isn’t just a kitchen gadget – it can actually be a really powerful tool for healthier eating.”

1. Supports Weight Loss Without Feeling Deprived

“One of the biggest benefits is that soup is naturally filling but low in calories. Because it’s warm, full of fibre from vegetables, and packed with water, it helps us feel satisfied for longer. That can really reduce snacking and overeating later in the day. You can have a big bowl, feel comforted, and still stay on track – no deprivation involved.”

2. Encourages More Vegetables and Fibre

“A soup maker makes it so easy to get more vegetables in. You can throw in onions, carrots, courgettes, peppers, spinach – whatever you’ve got. That means more fibre for digestion, better gut health, and steadier blood sugar levels, which all support weight loss and energy levels. It’s especially helpful if you struggle to eat enough veg in the day.”

3. Saves Time and Reduces Stress

“For wellbeing, time and stress really matter. With a soup maker, you chop, add liquid, press a button, and walk away. No standing over a hob, no extra pans, no constant stirring. Less stress around cooking means we’re more likely to stick to healthy habits instead of reaching for convenience foods.”

4. Helps with Portion Control and Planning

“Soup makers are brilliant for batch cooking. You can make several portions at once, freeze them, or keep them in the fridge. That means healthy meals are already prepared when you’re tired or busy – which is often when we make less helpful food choices. Planning ahead is one of the strongest tools for long-term weight loss.”

5. Comfort Food That Supports Wellbeing

“Soup is comforting. It’s warming, soothing, and can feel like self-care in a bowl. That’s important for emotional well-being. When we feel nourished and cared for, we’re less likely to turn to food for emotional reasons. And because you control what goes in, you can keep salt, fat, and sugar low while still having loads of flavour.”

“So a soup maker isn’t about dieting – it’s about making healthy choices easier, more enjoyable, and more sustainable. It supports weight loss, saves time, boosts nutrition, and looks after our wellbeing. And best of all, it helps us enjoy food rather than feel restricted.”
