Cream soups with fewer calories

05.12.2008 1 minute read From Editorial team

I really like cream soups, but unfortunately they are usually prepared with heavy cream, which contains quite a few calories. However, with a few small tricks, you can easily cheat a few calories away and still enjoy them:

Cream soups with fewer calories

Sour cream

If the recipe calls for heavy cream or crème fraîche, it can easily be replaced with sour cream. This has less fat and also makes the soup wonderfully creamy.

Hot milk

It is also possible to refine the soup with a hot cup of milk. Just make sure to froth it up with an immersion blender.
