Healthy Spicy Cabbage Soup Recipe for Weight Loss | Easy and Nutritious Soup Ideas

This spicy low-calorie soup contains plenty of flavor and fiber to keep you full and satisfied. Though fiber is well-known for its gut health benefits, it also plays a role in weight loss. Research shows that people who simply eat 30 grams of fiber each day without making any other significant changes to their diets lost just as much weight as those who follow more complicated weight-loss diets. This low-cal soup packs in nearly 9 grams of fiber per serving plus brings the metabolism-boosting heat from spicy chile peppers.
