Slim-spiration Soups

If anyone is stuck for thinking of a lunch or dinner choice, try one of these delicious ideas from Belinda, who 'graduated' from FB camp one in April, having lost 13lb. And as you can see, she didn't skimp on having tasty dinners.


Quick Fish Soup

* 1litre water in saucepan, bring to the boil.
* Add 2 packs instant miso soup - add chopped garlic & ginger & cook for 2mins.
* Add 8 chopped mangetout, 1 chopped red pepper, 1 cup cubed chunks of boneless & skinless haddock (or other white firm fish) and cook for 5 mins.
* Add 1 finely sliced pak choi & 2 finely chopped spring onions and cook for 5 mins.
* Add handful of fresh peas & handful of beansprouts and warm through before serving.

(I started having this for lunch to begin with, but found at the end of boot camp it was enough to have for dinner once I had got used to no carbs and smaller portions)


Broccoli Soup

* 1litre boiling water in saucepan, add either 1 wheatfree stock cube or 2tsp bouillon powder.
* Add 2 cups finely chopped broccoli & 1 finely shredded fennel bulb and cook for approx 10mins or until soft.
* Remove from heat and add handful of fresh tarragon & handful fresh sage. Cover and leave to stand for about 5mins.
* Blend using handheld blender or food processor.
* When in bowl top with handful of alfalfa sprouts.

(This is so nice and I found it instantly stops a rumbling tummy and stops bread / sugar type cravings, especially good for first couple of weeks on diet
