Optical,
depends what soup you want to make, but a nice vegi soup is just put a load of vegs into a pan, like carrot, courgette, pumpkin, squash, cauliflower, anything you like really, too much cabbage makes it a bit peppery but a bit is nice, with some water and a stock cube, salt, pepper, and some dried mixed herbs if you like then boil it all up til all the vegis are soft and then add a tin of tomatoes, and blitz it all up with a hand blender to the texture you like, it will go quite thick and creamy if you blitz it well.
If you make loads you can keep it in the fridge for a few days and use as you need it, the water may seperate a bit when it stands so just stir it up and it will all mix back in.
I used to make this daily when i was on weight watchers because its one of those things you can eat as much as you like as long as you don't put potatoes in it as they counted as carbs!
I had it with weight watchers bread and a small slice of cheese!
SisterRose, you could buy a small loaf for you and keep it in the freezer, just use it when you need it, that way you wont be getting 2 loves every time, you don't need to get weight watchers, a hovis brown small loaf the slices are about 50cals a slice the same as weight watchers bread, and some how feels a bit more to it.
I usually get the reduced bread because i can freeze it the same day, and the weight watchers malted danish keeps really well also if you don't want to freeze xx
Chicken again for tea, not roast today, but wrapped in bacon with roasted veg, better get peeling and chopping! yumski xx
2 quick ideas while i think of it!
Roasted veg to serve with any meal.
Courgette, red pepper, orange pepper, potato. carrot, red onion all chopped into cubes the same size and in a roasting dish, salt, pepper, and mixed herbs, a small bit of oil to coat and roast.
Vegi Lasagne
Do the above with the veg (but with no potato) then add a tin of chopped tomatoes to the cooked roasted veg, mix and use to layer between lasagne sheets with cheese sauce (made with skimmed milk)
Top with the sauce and a bit of cheese and put in oven til brown and lasagne cooked through.
Makes a really tasty alternative to meat lasagne and vastly less fat!
and let you all know the damage and my goals etc!
