Really easy home made soup recipes for one

Give yourself a Boost: 6 Winter Warmers

Beat the winter cold with these 6 super simple home made soup recipes for one

No acidity regulators here!

Read any soup labels lately? Our guess is probably not, but if you had you’d be in for a bit of a surprise. Further lockdown restrictions together with all the unknown ingredients lurking in some soups sold in supermarkets are two excellent reasons why you should think about having a go at making your own. Its much easier than you think. So take a few minutes to try out some of our home made soup recipes for one, (with not so much as a spec of ‘Acidity Regulator’ included in any of the ingredients).

Here’s why you should make your own soup:

Homemade soup tastes MUCH MUCH better than canned or supermarket-bought soup.
You get to control the quality of the ingredients you put into your soup. Ready made soups, particularly cheaper variety’s, are often made with lower grade ingredients along with additives, preservatives, flavourings and all sorts of other things. Not the sort of things we have in our own kitchens.
Homemade soup can be very low in calories, and a great way to fill you up. (Enough said- especially at this time of year!)
You also get to season your soup to your own taste and control the salt content. A big problem with prepared foods, many of which come with really unhealthy high sodium content, – not good for our long-term health prospects.
Soup is really easy to prepare and cook. There’s very little work involved and it’s a good way of experimenting and using up spare food and veggies loitering in your fridge. You can’t overdo or burn soup. (If you’ve burnt some we’d be interested in hearing how you did it! – it could be a world first🙂!! )
You can freeze most soups, so double up on ingredients or make more, – enough to freeze to keep you going.
Any spare portions are also a really good ‘door opener’ or ‘ice breaker’ to share with friends, neighbours or family, there really is nothing like it for bringing a smile on a cold or gloomy day.

Check out our own soup recipes for one below and give it a go, or share and send us your recipes (written or video from your kitchen), we’d really love to hear from you, – with or without your burnt soup pics!
