Healthy Lunches

It is easy to make this easy mushroom soup recipe at the weekend and then keep in the fridge to reheat and put in a flask in the morning!
If you take lunch then you are so much less likely to buy food which inevitably will be less healthy. Taking a variety of food throughout the week to work keeps your lunchtimes interesting and stops you from getting bored.
Even if, like me, you work alone at home it can make such a difference having your food already prepared for you. Why not give it a go and make sure you build a variety of lunches into your weekly meal plan.

This is a really easy recipe to make in a soup maker because you can simply add all the ingredients and let it do its thing!

Soup making tips
If you enjoy soups and this easy mushroom soup recipe 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?
