Box of 6 single-serve sachets

Available in Spiced Pumpkin & Herbs, Carrot & Chives and Tuscan Tomato

In keeping with our focus on high-quality Functional Food formulations, we are proud to introduce Dr Soup®, a range of three dried vegetable/herb/spice combinations. Each serve is the equivalent of 300 grams of fresh vegetables per sachet.

The all natural Dr. Soup® range was developed to help address the extremely poor vegetable consumption which is prevalent around the globe. Low vegetable consumption directly correlates with disease prevalence across all age groups.

Who can benefit from Dr Soup®?

Dr. Soup® was designed to provide a significant proportion of the daily adult vegetable requirement, thereby benefiting the whole family – children who are fussy eaters, teenagers who refuse vegetables, busy adults reliant on convenience foods, the elderly who prefer soft-textured foods which may not include vegetables. Dr. Soup® is a versatile addition to any diet.

Consumers are advised to choose at least one serve of fresh green leafy vegetables to complement the variety supplied in a Dr. Soup® sachet.  Most nutrients are retained when a vegetable is dehydrated but fresh greens are the exception, losing most of their folate, an essential vitamin.  This is why Dr. Soup® has focused on vegetables, herbs and spices other than greens.  One standard 75-gram serve of fresh broccoli or other green leafy vegetable, together with 300 grams fresh equivalent in one Dr. Soup® sachet provides the daily recommendation of at least 375 grams of vegetables (5 serves).

It is generally accepted that we consume too few vegetables and too little dietary fibre.6 Health authorities continue to promote the value of fruits and vegetables as being essential for good health and recommend as few as 5 serves of a variety of vegetables daily, an amount that approximates 375 grams in total.  A 2020 Australian survey showed that the average adult vegetable consumption is less than 230 grams daily – or just 61% of the recommended daily requirement.

Adult males are recommended to consume 30 grams daily and females 25 grams daily.  A 2018 study showed that males average 22.9 and females 19.1 grams daily.

• Each Dr. Soup® sachet contains an average of 6.5 grams of bamboo fibre, enabling adults to normalise their dietary fibre intake with one Dr. Soup® sachet daily.6
• Bamboo fibre is a rich source of xylo-oligosaccharides shown to effectively promote the growth of gut Bifidobacteria.7

Each of the Dr. Soup® varieties is formulated from a range of dried vegetables, herbs and spices such that each 30-gram powdered serve is equivalent to 300 grams of fresh vegetables. Dr. Soup® has been designed to generously complement the diet, without completely replacing fresh vegetables.

Each box of Dr Soup® contains 2x 30g sachets of the following flavours:

• Tuscan Tomato
• Carrot & Chives
• Spiced Pumpkin & Herbs
