Healthy Options for Wholesome Soup:
•
Using vegetable stock as your liquid addition gives the soup a great added flavour.
•
Sauté onions and garlic in vegetable oil for a healthier option rather than oil before adding to
your soup maker.
•
Certain vegetables increase in antioxidant content when they’re cooked. For a real health
boost, make soups that include these vegetables: carrots, spinach, green and red peppers,
asparagus, broccoli and red cabbage.
•
For a boost to your immune system include these ingredients in your healthy soups: garlic,
sweet potatoes, tomatoes and kale.
•
Include potato to bulk up a soup, add some energizing carbs and to fill you up a little more.
This will also thicken the soup naturally.
•
Garnish your soup with fresh basil, which is thought to ease stress and help with problem skin.
•
For low fat soups, replace crème fraîche or soured cream with low fat fromage frais
•
Always remember to season your soup with salt and pepper after cooking.
•
When you’ve finished cooking your soup and you’re getting ready to serve it, try adding some
fresh herbs or a dollop of fresh yoghurt or cream - the fresh ingredients will really highlight the
delicious flavours in the soup.
Making Stock:
Good quality stock can help give soup a delicious, flavourful taste. For some soups, you may wish to
omit stock and just use water. For others, a stock cube thrown in with the rest of the ingredients and
topped up with water will do. Making your own stock is nutritious and economical.
For those recipes that you want to go the extra mile with, we’ve got a great basic vegetable stock
recipe for you. See Page 10.
