Cutting it short, I've had some naughty treats today (my fiance's bad influence at the weekend).
And I knew if I didn't sneak off to whip up something wholesome and filling like this unofficial Slimming World soup, then I would continue to eat whatever was under my nose.
That's my little trick anyhow and it usually works. I much prefer meals that "touch the sides" and this soup has done just this - then I usually save my treats for last!
It's a super quick and healthy soup without an ounce of fat and still holds its flavour with a little stockpot magic and it's the perfect nutritious meal to tide me over until my evening meal. Of course, it would taste so much better with olive oil or pesto and whatnot, but I needed something much healthier so redeem myself and get back on track, so this is what I nourished my body with.
