Nutritional values
The bright green of the watercress is due to chlorophyll. This substance promotes, among other things, the formation of blood cells and the transport of oxygen in the body. Eggs are small nutrient bombs and score points with iron, zinc, and B vitamins. The latter performs many important functions in the metabolism, for example in energy production.
The potato soup can also be prepared without watercress - or you replace the herb with spinach, wild garlic, or basil.
