This satisfying pasta soup provides a tasty alternative to many canned soups.

ingredients

1 onion, 3 carrots, 2 potatoes, 3 tomatoes and 2 parsnips
125g each spinach and cabbage
Low calorie cooking spray
1 litre of vegetable stock
3 tsp Italian seasoning
7 tbsp passata
150g dried pasta
400g can butter beans, drained
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly chopped thyme

method

Roughly chop the vegetables. In a pan sauté the onion in low calorie cooking spray. Add a little stock and the Italian seasoning and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining stock, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, parsnips and passata and simmer for about 1 hour (add water if you want a runnier soup).
Add the pasta and cook until almost tender. Stir in the spinach, cabbage and beans and cook for a further 3 minutes.
Slow-cooker alternative: Brown your onion in a frying pan using low calorie cooking spray for 2-3 minutes. Spray your slow cooker with low calorie cooking spray and add all the ingredients except the pasta. Cover and cook on ‘medium’ for 4 to 6 hours. 45 minutes before serving add the pasta.
Season with black pepper and serve garnished with thyme.

Tip: You can vary the vegetables, beans and herbs you use when making this soup.

Slimming World Snack – Hummus & Carrot sticks

Syns: Free on Extra Easy

I was feeling a little peckish this afternoon and thought I would try a recipe I had spotted in an old

Slimming World Magazine:

400g Chick Peas
1/2 Lemon (the juice)
2 Tablespoons of low fat Yoghurt
1 Teaspoon of Cumin
1/2 Teaspoon of Salt
2 Garlic Cloves crushed

I whizzed all of the ingredients in a blender and added a tablespoon of water. I served it with Carrot sticks. I would have preferred Pitta Bread but I wanted something syn free, which this is.

The Hummus was really nice, quite a strong taste of Garlic, but I really enjoyed it. Very simple and quick to make for a syn free treat.
