What's unhealthy about crusty bread?
^^ This
But TBH, I prefer crackers in my soup. Ritz are the best, but saltines are less expensive.
I like goldfish crackers in my tomato soup......saltines with everything else or a grilled cheese lol
Must try! I haven't had goldfish crackers in many years.0 -
I still use rolls or bread to dip in my soup. Unless if' tomato soup. Then I dip in a grilled cheese sandwich (without tomoatoes).0

How has nobody posted this yet?!
:laugh: :laugh:
Seriously though... I don't eat soup very often because it usually doesn't have enough protein for me, but when I do, I pretty much just eat it without dipping anything into it but my spoon. I do eat bread, but usually only the equivalent of one piece per meal and I want to spend it on a sandwich most of the time.
ETA: the earlier poster's idea about Ryvitas is a good one too. Plus, great fiber content AND low in calories.0 -

Depends on how much, and whether it's white bread or made with whole grains. White bread is converted to sugar in the liver, while whole grains are harder to digest and better for lowering cholesterol. Small amounts of white bread aren't harmful with soup, especially if it's a good high-fiber, low-sodium soup.
Not sure what you find laughable... perhaps you'd care to elaborate? Are you disagreeing that white bread is less healthy than whole-grain, or that small amounts of white bread aren't helpful?0 -
I like to dip corn tortillas with avacado in my soups.
I skip bread whenever possible when trying to limit calories. Too 'expensive', not filling enough for its calories. I'd rather have a second bowl of soup.0 -

I'm guessing it's the "white bread is converted to sugar in the liver" part. Enzymes in the digestive tract convert starches to sugars.
Is whole grain healthier? Depends on how you define healthier. I'm a white bread fan because it has less calories and carbs than whole grain bread, which makes sandwiches easier to fit into my plan. Which is good.0 -
The answer is always Tortilla Chips0

Case in point, put butter on the white bread, and now it will be digested even more slowly than whole grain bread.0 -

Ok, I see. I was mistaken about the breakdown - I guess I was thinking of glycogen storage in the liver, released for energy, after the complex carbohydrate is broken down in the gut.
Typically whole grain is considered healthier, because not all of it is broken down, and it does cause a "scrubbing" effect in the blood, which can reduce cholesterol levels. That being said, I can only eat the simpler forms, like white rice vs. brown, or white potatoes, and can't eat gluten at all. I do buy a whole-grain gluten-free bread that is pretty good, and two slices is only 130 calories.0 -
I'd be interested in more info about when whole grains being more healthy was debunked. It seems like most authorities still recommend them.

Only modern agriculture could come up with such a devious plan to increase people's food consumption......and it does cause a "scrubbing" effect in the blood, which can reduce cholesterol levels.0 -

Not so much.

Not sure about the "Scrubbing effect," but eating heart healthy, which included swapping out for whole grains as recommended by my doctor, did lower my cholesterol.

If you think about it, that would be highly undesirable as it means you are fueling your body with an inefficient fuel. Meaning you would need to eat more, not less, to get the same amount of net energy.0 -

^^ Tigersword nailed it, as usual.
And FTR, it's not so much that the comment was hilarious, but mostly I just like this GIF and was happy to post it in lieu of an "LOL."0 -
Find a whole wheat pita that has a high fiber content and tear it up to make pita chips in the oven. They are a great substitute for crackers and you can season them however you like (or not at all if you just want the crunch)!0
