What are the benefits of making a soup with lemons?

• It’s a great way to cut down on salt intake. There are some people that will actually add lemon juice to their recipes and soups over adding salt.
• Lemon is an appetite stimulant, so it will make all the other vegetables in this soup even more enjoyable! Perfect for those children who aren’t so keen on veggies.
• Lemons contain a high amount of vitamin C, soluble fiber, and plant compounds that give them a number of health benefits. Lemons may aid weight loss and reduce your risk of heart disease, anemia, kidney stones, digestive issues, and cancer.
