Can anyone recommend any shop bought soups? I’m not massively keen on carrot and coriander… I’m 4 days in and lost 3lb and not feeling hungry, really enjoying it. I’ve had lots of time to prepare food this week and worried about when I’m in a rush and the potential to grab something bad, so would like some tinned soups in the cupboard as back up! Got 3 small children so am around food a lot 😕
Any other tips also welcome – I’ve mainly been eating courgetti, salads, tuna, smoked salmon, eggs, natural tog, green veg…
Thanks!

Hiya – like the forum name – was it after the Stones version or Melanie’s decades ago? RE: soup, I’ve often made homemade in a slow cooker over the years so that might be one option, and since I’ve been on the BSD I’ve tried Miso for the first time and added a few microwaved bits of veg from the freezer and a slithered up mushroom which is a very low calorie option. If you visit a wholefood shop you might find some packets that don’t have sugar added and a lot of carbs – I’ve yet to do this but it might be another solution.

We often have New Covent Garden Classic Chicken Soup which is 213 calories for a half carton portion.

Thanks for your help 🙂
Haha the title was a complete fluke!
I tried miso but I really didn’t like it – such a shame and very unlike me, there isn’t much I don’t like in terms of food!
Do people have soups that have cornflour etc in? Maybe I’m being too strict?

Hey Rubytuesday,
Do you have a spiralizer? I take a homemade fresh soup to work each day by spiralizing some veg – courgette, carrot, chop some cabbage/pak choi etc. I will also put in around 30-40g of steak. To flavour I add half a stock cube, a small teaspoon of oyster sauce & a small teaspoon of chilli sauce. Add hot water at work, leave for a couple of minutes & bam – soup. Literally takes me 5 mins to put together in the evening x
