Here's a compilation of over 50 Unofficial Slimming World soup maker recipes in one place to help you get started. Most are healthy, low fat and all made using a Morphy Richards soup maker.
There's something soothing about a big bowl of soup. I'm a big eater and love how I can help myself to endless portions while still filling up on the good stuff.
Soup maker recipes are simply satisfying to me. My theory is that I get confused between hunger and thirst. But it's my savior. Particularly when I often experience an upset tummy. I can whip up a batch in my Morphy Richards soup maker and leave it while I do something else.
Soup maker recipes are kind of like my antacids. So, I've spent HOURS creating and adapting my own unofficial Slimming World soup recipes to fit in the Morphy Richard soup maker.
DO I NEED A SOUP MAKER?
Often in my I LOVE Slimming Soup Facebook group, a common question is, do I need a soup maker? And with many raving about one, I can see why people may come across as preachers. Because, no, of course, you don't need a soup maker.
They're only nice to have if you can't be bothered with pot watching like me. And they cut down on washing a separate blend. But did we survive before they existed? YES! So feel free to simmer these recipes until tender and blend if required.
Don't get me wrong though. I don't enjoy cleaning my soup maker as it's not dishwasher friendly. But that's because I'm a glutton for punishment and have often left it a bit long. As long as you clean it quite soon after, it should be a breezy task.
TIPS FOR MAKING SOUP MAKER RECIPES
Soup maker recipes haven't always been easy to make. So if you want to adapt a few of your own, I've put a few pointers together to help you.
? Not all soup makers are the same size. To ensure these work for you, I use this Morphy Richards soup maker with a 1.6L capacity to get the biggest batch I can in one go.
? A soup maker has a sensor. So, the Morphy Richards 1.6L only works when the quantity is between 1.3l - 1.6l. This makes approximately 3 to 4 portions, depending on how much juice your vegetables and pasta soak up.
? When adding quantities for a soup maker, remember that 1g is approximately 1ml.
? Too many foods that have sugar or become sticky when cooking can burn on the base, making your soup maker stop mid-cycle. Ie, 150ml+ milk, baked beans, more than 1 tin of chopped tomatoes, instant mashed potatoes and too much rice.
? Never be abrasive when removing burnt food on the bottom of your soup maker. Here's how I clean burns from the bottom with no elbow grease.
BENEFITS OF HAVING A SOUP MAKER
Obviously, as I've mentioned prior, it's not vital to cook soup with a soup maker. But here's the benefits I've found so far:
- It's great for hiding veggies in your meals
- You increase your vitamins
- Increase your water intake
- The hydration helps me feel fuller for longer
- Soup is great for weight loss
- They create very cheap meals
- You can use plenty of store cupboard supplies
- They taste way better than tinned soups
- I can batch cook soup and freeze in soup containers
- It reduces washing a separate blender or food processor
- If you buy the non-stick version (which I don't have), you can saute your vegetables in there too and cut down even more washing up
- You can find many more benefits listed here!
HOW TO STORE YOUR SOUP
I have a big collection of these soup containers or the porridge size ones. Or sometimes I recycle old tupperware containsers. These are safe in the microwave, dishwasher and freezer.
I either leave them in my fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze them for about 3 to 5 months. However, it's a good idea to label them in case you forget. Trust me, I never learn!
When I want to eat them, I defrost overnight in the fridge, or if I'm in a hurry, I use the setting on my microwave. Sometimes you might find low fat soups separate, but once you fully reheat, they blend back together.
