We are a family of soup lovers here. My youngest will often ask for a bowl of tomato soup for dinner, especially if it's accompanied by a few slices of home made bread. As well as being a hearty meal, it's a great way to get some extra veggies into our diets, which can be especially difficult with teens.
Having soup for lunch is also a great way to feel satisfied at lunchtime when I'm watching what I eat. I'm currently following the Slimming World plan, albeit intermittently at times (in between wine weekends and Wispa Wednesday), and this soup is not only easy to make, it's also very satisfying and doesn't make me feel like I'm eating diet food, as it's so rich and creamy.

I sometimes buy frozen broccoli and cauliflower for an emergency veg fix at the end of the week. They're not great eaten on their own as they can be a bit on the watery side, but are perfect thrown into a curry or soup. I like to spice up my soup, but the chilli flakes can be left out if preferred. The cheese triangles give the soup its creaminess without adding the extra calories that would come from cream, as they are only 19 calories each.
