October is here and it’s that time when we all like to indulge in wintery comfort foods – but don’t forget, it can still be healthy!

 

Why not experiment with a new healthy soup? You can have so much fun with soups and experiment with a wide range of different flavours. One of my favourite vegetables to make soup with is broccoli; it’s great with blue cheese! For all you broccoli lovers out there you’ll be pleased to know that it’s in season this month - so in other words it tastes its absolute best right now.

 

Did you that that a single serving (100 grams) of broccoli will give you more than enough of your daily vitamin C allowance? And with it being packed with fibre it’s also great for the digestive system.

 

To get you going this week, why not start with The Inside Out Diet’s very own ‘Cream of broccoli & Brussels sprouts soup with almonds’ (page 38). It tastes absolutely delicious, it’s packed full of vitamins and is high in fibre, which is vital for good gut health – so all in all it’s very healthy!

 

Let me know how you get on and don’t forget to let me know if you think of any other healthy soup recipes!
