Much in water but...: Many vitamins are in the broth, but much is destroyed by heat. Minerals are not effected by heat, so between the vegetable and broth, its there!

Soup is good: Minerals don't get lost, may get leached into the water. Some vitamins may get lost, but lots stay, and can get into the water.
