Is broccoli cheddar soup good for weight loss?

I'm trying to cut down on junk food and eat healthier to shed some kilos. I saw a recipe for broccoli cheddar soup online and it looked quite tasty. Is it something I can include in my diet for weight loss, or is it too rich?

Broccoli is very good for health, but when you add too much heavy cream and cheddar cheese to make soup, it becomes very heavy. For weight loss, it is better to have simple clear vegetable soup with a little ginger and black pepper. If you have severe weight issues or thyroid, please consult a doctor.

Buying fancy ingredients like cheddar cheese and broccoli for weight loss can get very expensive. Instead of spending so much on gourmet soups, you can make a simple local cabbage or tomato soup at home for a fraction of the cost, which is actually much lower in calories.

I used to feel so guilty eating anything with cheese when I was struggling to lose weight, and it really messed with my mental peace. While broccoli cheddar soup is high in calories, having it once in a while is okay. Don't be too hard on yourself during your fitness journey.

Listen, don't get fooled by the word 'broccoli' in the name. The cream and cheddar cheese add a lot of fat and calories, which might slow down your weight loss. If you love it, make a healthier version at home with skimmed milk and very little cheese.

Honestly bro, restaurant-style broccoli cheddar soup is basically just a bowl of melted cheese with a few green pieces in it. It's definitely not going to help you lose weight. If you are serious about shedding fat, stick to black coffee and chicken breast or paneer salad.

I fell into this trap during my weight loss journey. Traditional broccoli cheddar soup is loaded with butter and cream. My tip is to blend boiled broccoli with a potato for thickness, and just sprinkle a tablespoon of cheese on top for flavor. It saves hundreds of calories!

I am trying to start a diet for the first time and I really like this soup. Is it possible to make it without cream so that it doesn't increase my weight? Please guide me if anyone has a simple recipe.
