NEW Kays Soup Challenge - OCT to MAR

[Kay003]

Hope everyone has a good result day tomorrow.

I have made Roasted tomato soup I posted, the celery and sweetcorn recipe someone else posted, and some lentil and veg (lots of things chucked into together. Couldn't make the cauliflower cheese one as ran out of cheese spread so I was will make that if I don't have enough portions of tomato soup as if I leave the potato out it can be a red day soup. I didn't have enough tupperware for all my soup so someone from my sw group has kindly popped round with some foil cartons for me so am feeling really prepared for this week

Yay ! Well done lovely, that's fab preparation for the challenge ! Your soups sound yummy. The sweetcorn and celery soup is Vonnies recipe . Looking forward to seeing the pics tomorrow. Good luck with day 1 hun !

Yes - amazingly to me at least - I will have managed 7 days on plan for the first time in 2 months - so whatever the scales say 2moro the challenge has been a major success for me YAY!!

A big well done to you Upndown! It's been hard getting back on track after your hol I know but you really smashed it this week (as our lovely Kay would say ) and you should be very proud of yourself!!

I hope you get the loss you deserve tomorrow! xx

Just a quick question. I know tomorrow is a rest day and it says no exercise. Can I still do exercise as I usually do zumba? X

Just in time for next week's challenge if anyone fancies this one.

Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup

Frylight
One medium onion, peeled and diced
Medium butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and cut into chunks
Four medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Freshly ground black pepper
900ml vegetable stock (I use the lower salt oxo cubes)
A few sprigs of thyme (optional)

Spray large pan with frylight and cook onion for 2mins over low heat until soft
Add squash and carrots and cook for another 2mins, then add garlic and seasoning. Pour in stock and cook for approx 20 mins or until veg are soft.
Using a hand blender or processor you can either blend until smooth or blend half of it and add back to the pan, to make it thicker with chunky veg. Serve sprinkled with fresh thyme if you like or could use chopped parsley.

Good luck to all those starting the Challenge this week.

Speedy pea soup (for green/EE days)

1.2litres of vegetable or chicken stock
1 chopped shallot or small onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
275g frozen peas
2tblsp freshly chopped mint
Black pepper to taste

Put stock in large pan and bring to the boil. Add the onion or shallot, garlic, peas and mint. Cook at a brisk simmer for about 10mins until peas are tender.
Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Season to taste and serve hot, topped with a swirl of fat free natural yogurt if you wish.

Last for now...

Squash and red pepper soup

1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and chunked
2 red peppers, deseeded and cut diced (you can skin it if you wish but I don't bother)
1 onion, peeled and diced
Frylight or similar
1.1litres vegetable stock (low salt if poss)
Freshly ground black pepper
4tblsps fat free fromage frais
Freshly chopped chives to garnish, optional

Heat a large pan sprayed with frylight, add squash, peppers and onion and fry until they start to soften. Add the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer until vegetables are all soft.
Blend half with a hand blender or in a liquidiser, then stir back into the rest (or you can blend the whole lot if you prefer your soup smooth). Serve garnished with a swirl of fromage frais and then sprinkle on the chopped chives.

I love this one and put LOADS of black pepper in, as I really like it quite peppery
