You won’t add Noodles to a soup if you want to make the soup low in calories. However, you can add Konjac Noodles, which are called ‘Shirataki’ OR ‘Ito-Konnyaku’ in Japanese, because they are mostly water and dietary fibre, and extremely low in calories. This soup is packed with a variety of nutrients, low in calories, yet very satisfying and comforting.
