aw Caraline, My soup is dead easy its my mum's receipe.
You need aprox
90g (aprox two) parsnips
90g (aprox two) carrots
90g of swede.
180g of leeks or onions
chicken stock (i use the cube and hot water)
I use garlic and ginger too
In a pan i use one spray of fry light and put a good teaspoon of garlic and chopped fine ginger i let it warm through then I add the onions and cook until the onions change to opaque. I add the swede, carrots and parsnips all finely chopped to a texture you like. You can add more parsnips and less carrots if you prefer it that way( i am not keen on cooked carrots) I then add another pint or so of water and bring to boil. simmer with lid on for about 30 to 40 mins. it will freeze too as long as all the veg was fresh. You can tell its cooked if the little bits will squash easy with a fork or spoon. You can add black pepper or any seasoning to how you like it. some times I add spring onions and soya sauce. Hope that helps oh and use a big pasta pan. as it does seem to rise up with all the veg. you can use 180g of leeks instead of onions if you find you prefer the taste and that makes a pretty veg broth. If I stick to the receipe it works out about 23cals a bowl. as it will serve 6-8 as I do add quite a bit of liquid as I prefer a more clear soup. I need to check on Wednesday that it will be ok as part of the pre diet. I will update once i find out.
Baxters make good soups too.. I keep them in for emergency.
