I knew I could never manage to stick to this if I didn't batch cook Rosie but I'm very pleased I did. I have enough soup for most of another week of challenge haha or it might just be lunches as I probably won't do two weeks in a row. I don't like butternut squash but I have been having roasted carrot and quite liking that so will carry on with that

Doing ok thanks upndown, how are you finding the week? This challenge feels so much easier than the salad challenge! What are sw blueberry muffins?!
Your tomato soup looks really flavoursome snow. I hope to make tomato for the weekend- forgot to pick some up at supermarket yesterday.
My stomach feels like its on fire, I think my soup was too spicy lol xx

Yum my kind of meal!

Everyone is doing so well and fab inspiration with some scrummy sounding soups

Yes know what you mean - I thought I'd 'planned' my day today - even separated food in the fridge - then noticed I'd got free stuff but only on RED days grrr... but noticed before I ate it whew! It's great everyone's doing so well - Kay will be pleased!! You may have seen on her diary that she's ill at the mo - so our good progress will give 'teacher' a lift when she gets back!!

Here's the muffins recipe:

Yes I agree the soup's more filling and it's nicer to have a bowl as a snack than a salad! I love tomato soup sooooooo comforting!! I'm doing ok but getting RED/GREEN mixed up sometimes!!

 

[Poppet12]

Ooh thank you very much! Ill keep my eye out for blueberries I know what you mean re green/red, green seems easy but red does baffle me at times lol.
It sure is quiet without the bunny, hope she is feeling better soon. Iron deficiency is horrid, makes you feel so weak.
Lets all have a fab week and cheer her up with a big loss!! X

Ah I think some of the fresh made soups look nicer than mine - especially the thai one mmm - I love the look of all the chicken on top and I love spice but the tomato one is really nice. I have made it with roasted chillis in too in the past but it is hard to judge the heat (mainly because I always think that doesn't look like many chillis to the ration of tomatoes and then I up it and end up with super hot soup.) I do red and green days once a week anyway (mostly I am sure I still make the odd mistake) to mix things up so am okay with what I am allowed so most of my low carb struggle has been not being able to use my b's on carbs

Ah thanks for that, it's easy to lose track what day we are on!
I'm doing ok I think- how about you?
I now have Bon jovi in my head too haha. Only 3 days to go! Does anyone do any different soups on a weekend? I was thinking I could but getting stuck for a recipe now I've done all my faves x

I wonder if its just other people food envy cos I think yours look lovely!
The Thai one was very nice but a little on the hot side for me haha. The tesco paste is nice but the blue dragon one is better I think. I bet chillies are yummy in a tomato- I like a bit of heat esp with this weather. I'm going to wander to the greenhouse and see if there's enough tomatoes.. X
