If there is one thing I love about the cold winter weather (and there isn’t much honestly) it’s soup! Warming, filling, delicious, hot, tasty soup. I love the fact that soup can be so versatile.. it makes for a very low calorie lunch option, or serve with a big hunk of bread for dinner. However and whenever you choose to eat it, I have my best ever Slimming World friendly soup recipes here for your viewing.
One of the positives about soup is how it is absolutely perfect for batch cooking. Cook up a huge portion and reheat from the fridge for almost a week. Or pop it in the freezer and reheat batches over the coming months. I find soup a great way to get hidden veggies into my two beautiful kiddos too! “Mmmm mummy, what’s in this?”….. “Errrm nothing son, just carrot, broccoli, potato, leek, cabbage and courgette” (like I would ever admit it).
Tips for making the perfect homemade soup
- Because soup is so freezer friendly, I highly recommend always making a larger batch. Store portions for later, it will save you so much time in the future.
- Season to taste.. it is always temping to throw in a big pinch of salt before cooking. But actually you should season at the end once you have tasted the soup.
- Only ever simmer your soup… never allow it to boil away!
