The amount of nutrition that soup provides really depends on the way you cook your soup. Boiling vegetables for a long time results in denaturation of the nutrients in the vegetables and therefore the soup will not contain all the nutrients that you could have obtained from the vegetables directly. However, cooking vegetables for a short duration ensure that any pathogenic entity is killed and thus makes vegetables more safe for consumption. Moreover, cooking activates a few nutrients in vegetables like carrot but you should cook these vegetables lightly (stir fry, steam, or light boiling). You can follow the following rules lightly cook vegetables like carrots, spinach, cabbage and other vegetables high in fiber. If you want to make soup then lightly stir fry your vegetables and add them to your stock after you have boiled it. If you wish to consume your vegetables directly then wash them properly before consumption. Your soup is only as good as the amount of nutrient it has. Soup has been proven to aid digestion if you have it before your meal.
