⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better

For those monitoring blood sugar, the added sugars and refined carbs can cause a spike. To counteract, pair it with a protein like chicken or beans and a fiber source like a side salad to slow digestion and enhance fullness.

FAQ
Is this soup a good source of protein?
No, with only about 1g of protein per 100g, it is not a significant protein source. It's best paired with protein-rich foods like grilled chicken, tofu, or beans to make a balanced meal.
Why is it so low in calories?
The low calorie count (53 kcal/100g) is primarily because it's mostly water and mushrooms, which are very low in calories. The cream adds richness but in controlled amounts in this ready-to-serve format.
Can I use this as a cooking sauce?
Absolutely! It's a classic shortcut for creamy sauces. It works perfectly as a base for casseroles, a sauce for pasta or meat, or to add creaminess to gravies and stews.
