Few pieces of information for you -

Soup is awful for your digestion. Dilluting your stomach acids with a bunch of water (on top of what you normally drink) literally makes digestion slower, and digesting food is what takes up the large majority of your energy throughout the day.

Therefore, eating soup will not help in any way to get you out of your "sluggish" feeling. If anything, it's part of what's causing it.

Water is not good to keep you from dehidration after a certain point, and that's because depending on the water you're drinking it likely doesn't have electrolytes, which is what actually hydrates you.

Instead of eating soup and drinking twice as much water drink 300-400 ml of electrolytes every 2-3 days alongside your regular water intake, it will actually keep you hydrated and you will feel much better.

Funny, I experience the exact opposite, soup is great for your digestion and improves your general well being.

Maybe im wrong and should go with brawndo like you suggest since it has electrolytes.

The one upside soup has is that it fills you up with water, so you don't end up eating as many solids.

If it's working for you, by all means go for it.

Different stuff works for all of us I guess, I was literally just repeating what 4 different nutritionists said to me at some point lol.
