On days i dont feel like cooking i just make a packet soup. But these are processed na, so wondering if its fine once in a while during pregnancy. Anyone else having these?
I used to crave hot spicy soup and panicked after reading online about preservatives in Knorr. My doctor reassured me that having it occasionally is totally harmless. So don't stress over a single bowl, just enjoy your meal!
When I was staying with my parents, my mother never allowed me to eat packet soups. She would make fresh tomato and beetroot soup for me daily, which was so comforting. Try to eat fresh home-cooked meals as much as possible for the baby.
Honestly, instant soups have a high amount of sodium and preservatives, which isn't great during pregnancy. If you are really craving it, having it once in a while is absolutely fine, but try to make fresh vegetable soup at home as a healthier option.
I always prefer making fresh soup at home with ginger and garlic to boost immunity during pregnancy. Instant ones have too many artificial flavors. But if you feel very weak or have severe nausea and can't digest anything, do ask your doctor.
