This fresh spinach soup is wonderfully nutritious and delicious. It is very easy to make and will be ready in just 30 minutes. The perfect lunch that the whole family will enjoy. This unofficial recipe is perfect for any one following Slimming World, Weight Watchers or a calorie controlled diet.
Recently I have been looking for quick and easy lunch time meals to help keep me on plan. Batch cooking is my friend when work is busy and this healthy colourful spinach soup is full of flavour and easy to reheat.
The great thing about this soup is the spinach doesn’t have to be the freshest.. if you have some wilting spinach left in the fridge or you notice a bag in the discount section of your local supermarket grab it and make some delicious soup! Oh did I mention it’s literally only 158 calories per serving too?!?

Looking to take this soup to work?
My dad actually recommended this product after he started his weight loss journey. He is obsessed with homemade soup (and his soup maker may I add..) and he was desperate to take soup to work. His company is tight and wouldn’t fork out for a microwave so he invested in this awesome soup thermos. It will keep food hot for up to 6 hours! Perfect for soup, porridge, curry etc.
Is this recipe Slimming World friendly?
Fatgirlskinny must remind you that all Syn guidance is an estimate by us too. You should always double check with the Slimming World app or your consultant first. The whole portion of soup is worth 2 Healthy extra portions so divide accordingly. Also spinach is a speed food so devour as you please and know you are not straying from the plan.
