Key differences

  • Neither is a meaningful source of protein: 3.1 and 4.8 g per 100 kcal.
  • Vegetable broth has fewer calories: 5 kcal per 100 ml, versus 26 for gazpacho, so the same calories come with more grams of food.
  • Gazpacho has more fiber: 1 g per 100 ml, versus 0 g for vegetable broth.

Per typical serving

With typical servings, 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) of gazpacho has about 65 kcal and 2 g of protein, and 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) of vegetable broth about 13 kcal and 0.6 g.

The typical serving is a common amount used for the math, not a recommendation. Ounces are rounded US equivalents; the values come from the database entries cited in the sources.

Which is more filling?

Gazpacho and vegetable broth have the same estimated satiety score: 3 out of 5.

  • Gazpacho: Calculation: 1 (base) + 2 (very low energy density: 26 kcal/100 g) + 0 (protein: 3.1 g/100 kcal) + 1 (fiber: 3.8 g/100 kcal) − 1 (liquid, less filling than a solid; 2.8 g of sugars, under 8) = 3.
  • Vegetable broth: Calculation: 1 (base) + 2 (very low energy density: 5 kcal/100 g) + 1 (protein: 4.8 g/100 kcal) + 0 (fiber: 0.0 g/100 kcal) − 1 (liquid, less filling than a solid; 0.6 g of sugars, under 8) = 3.

The 1 to 5 score is our own estimate: it starts at 1 point, adds points for low energy density, for protein and fiber per 100 kcal, and for the water in solid foods, and subtracts points for drinks with calories. It is useful for comparing foods with each other; it is not a measurement in people.

When to choose each one

Gazpacho

  • If you want to add fiber: 1 g per 100 ml.

Vegetable broth

  • If you want to eat more grams for the same calories: 5 kcal per 100 ml.
  • If you prefer a lighter typical serving: about 13 kcal in 250 ml (8.5 fl oz).
  • If you have nausea or fill up quickly: it carries our “Easy to digest” tag.

On a GLP-1 medication

Gazpacho. “Low energy density”: plenty of volume for few calories; make sure it does not push protein foods off your plate. “Hydrating”: a lot of water, which contributes to hydration when you eat and drink less.

Vegetable broth. “Easy to digest”: a soft or low-fat food that many people tolerate well when they feel nauseous or get full quickly. “Low energy density”: plenty of volume for few calories; make sure it does not push protein foods off your plate. “Hydrating”: a lot of water, which contributes to hydration when you eat and drink less.

These are general guidelines, not medical advice: everyone tolerates foods differently.
