Recipe for the most amazing soup ever!!!!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BBK1zRdSxki/?taken-by=maryannesw

Fry garlic and onion in a little bit of frylight. put the bags of veggies in next and stir, add 500ml waters, 2 chicken stock cubes and salt and pepper.
I used 100g red lentils too.
I added two carrots and a parsnip diced into it, ad left for an hour and a half simmering. Add water if needed, and belive me its just what you find in a restaurant.

It is absolutely amazing. I blitzed it down but left a few lumps and it was just fab. I rarely eat/drink a full bowl of soup but this one and my red pepper are the best.

[marybobs]

Oh it was so good and himself loved it which is always a bonus.

Lots of water, diet lilt and almond milk.

[Jessieh90]

How was the family party hun? xx

 

[marybobs]

It was good to see everyone. Home now since Sunday but had a busy few days my friend came up for a visit to see my new home and I was busy playing tour guide. We even climbed a mountain but I am soon tired and sore now. Tough going but I realised I have come so far already 6 months ago I couldn't have done it.

Food wise

I am so bold. I did my best and I had lots of speed. But being out and about is tough trying to stick within syns.

Starting tomorrow is lent. So 40 days of no choc, no crisps, no takeaways and no crappy food. So well see how the lbs go! Not gonna let a few bad days ruin my week. Fish tomorrow and casserole Thursday. Just jumping back on it 100%

But picture of me in black from sat vs July at a wedding. So I'm proud of how far ive come.

 

[Cavegirl21]

You have come a long way in such a short time. Well done.
