Soup is a healthy meal choice because it can be loaded with nutrient-rich ingredients and it fills you up, so you’re likely to eat less of the other bad-for-you stuff. Beyond that, seafood soups offer additional health perks thanks to fish as the main ingredient. Fish is packed with Omega-3 fatty acids and are high in protein. Dr. Alice Lichtenstein, former chair of the American Heart Association’s Nutrition Committee and professor of nutrition science and policy at Tufts University explains that the health benefits of eating fish are meaningful and they are lasting. “When we talk about the advantages of eating fish, we’re talking about over the long term–-which comes from eating it twice a week.”
