In the meat.

After the meat is stewed, only some soluble substances come out of the meat, such as myoplasmic protein, amino acids, peptides and so on. And the main nutrient protein, it is difficult to get into the soup.

Generally speaking, the protein content in broth and chicken soup is only 1% to 2%. And the protein in meat is as high as 15% to 20%, obviously much more than in the soup. As for minerals, there is only soluble potassium in the soup, and all that calcium and iron you'd expect is not soluble in the soup. No matter how you make soup, the 'essence' is still in the meat, not the soup. Similarly, fish soup, chicken soup, duck soup, is the same thing.

Seeing this many people will certainly think: meat is better than soup, in fact, not, in the end which one is good, specific also have to vary from person to person.

For pregnant women, or some post-partum, post-operative weakness of the group, if the digestion and absorption capacity is low, may not be able to fully digest the protein in the meat. At this time, forced to eat meat, on the contrary, there will be a loss of appetite, indigestion state, and in serious cases, even intestinal obstruction. From this point of view, chicken soup and broth allow the frail to quickly absorb some nitrogenous substances, which play a role in improving appetite and digestion.

So the ancient belief that "drinking soup is nourishing" can not be said to be completely wrong.

And for the vast majority of people with normal digestion and absorption ability, every day only drink some chicken soup, broth, and do not eat into pieces of fish and meat, to get the protein is too little, and can not play the role of calcium and iron supplement.

Additionally, it is worth noting that, although the soup is not something great, but do not drink soup, after all, the soup also contains three major "harmful substances".

1, salt, ordinary saltiness 100ml of soup inside about 1 gram of salt or more. Adults are recommended to eat no more than 6 grams of salt per day.

2, fat, broth often contains more fat, especially the kind of creamy soup. Although there is no greasy feeling when drinking soup, it is easy to consume too much fat.

3, purine, it is the culprit of gout, soup cooking meat, the longer the cooking soup dissolved more purine.
