Healthy Broccoli and Stilton Soup – Unofficial Slimming world broccoli and stilton soup

Broccoli and Stilton soup is one of my favourite soups but shop-bought ones are often so full of cream and less healthy. This tasty healthy broccoli and blue cheese soup recipe is still creamy tasting but low in calories and does not use cream.

Soup making tips

If you enjoy soup then these tips could help you.

Use reduced or yellow sticker vegetables where you can, you won’t taste any difference but it will save money.

If you use a soup maker remember to defrost any frozen vegetables first as it works much more smoothly that way.

Soup is a great snack on cold winter evenings and could be a good alternative to other comfort foods. If you always make a little extra and freeze some you could have a choice in the freezer every time you need a snack or a bit of warmth.

Soup is a great way to get extra vegetables into your diet. Why not add a mug of soup to a meal that doesn’t have vegetables in as an alternative to a side portion of vegetables for a change?

Why you need vegetables to lose weight

Everyone knows vegetables are good for you, don’t they? They are healthy and filling for very few calories!

The best vegetables are those with low-calorie density.

This means if you eat 100g of spinach, for example, it is just 23 calories and 100g of crisps, which would be just as filling, is around 536 calories!

Budget shopping tips

I try to ensure all of the recipes I make are accessible for everyone. By this, I mean that they do not use obscure hard to find ingredients. I also believe that recipes should use as few ingredients as possible and avoid expensive ingredients. We would all much rather spend money on holidays than expensive ingredients wouldn’t we?

Buying herbs and spices in bulk is something I really recommend. It can save a lot of money in the long term but also mean you never run out! I find putting them on Amazon subscribe and save helps too!

Additionally don’t forget to check out the yellow sticker reductions and freeze what you can.

Frozen vegetables are nutritionally just as good as fresh usually so do keep an eye for those too to save money. Do you have any particular frozen vegetables you love? Do share them with me it is always nice to hear people’s recommendations.

Healthy snacks tips

There are so many tasty healthy snacks you can make if you are watching what you eat. It means you don’t have to get bored of one thing and can vary your diet considerably. This is one of my favourite savoury snacks in the winter!

Do you enjoy snacks when really you are not hungry and instead are boredom or comfort eating? I do this a lot so this is why it is so important to find low-calorie snacks when you can.
