#SouperFreshStart

Happy New Year!

So to get straight into those resolutions, eating well, moving more and generally trying to keep ourselves tip top… we all know how important healthy diet and exercise are. Here at SCPN we wanted to give you some souper (pun intended) recipe ideas to try through January to help you hit the ground running (so to speak, we’ll maybe get to running later on!). We know it is important eat a lot of vegetables, but did you know a healthy diet actually helps prevent cancer? After much indulgence over the festive period (yup, guilty), it is SO important that we get back into healthier habits, nourishing our bodies, ditching the bad stuff so we feel GREAT.

Our #SouperFreshStart campaign is all about eating lots of soup! Rejoice! It’s cold and dark outside, we want to eat something warm and comforting but it’s also January so we are being extra good. What better way is there to fuel your body through the rest of winter than with lots of yummy, fresh homemade soup!?

Here are a few reasons why we want you to join us this January, for a SouperFreshStart to 2018, packing in all those vegetables and why we think eating soup is one of the easiest ways to achieve it:

• Soup is quick and easy to make/store/transport when needed. Most offices have microwaves or a canteen you can use one in, so you’ll have a healthy lunch in just 2 mins.
• You can make double up on the portions giving you leftovers, meal prep done for the following day. Soup also freezes well, just whip it out the freezer in the morning and you’re good to go by lunchtime.
• All our recipes are packed full of veggies, you will be well on your way to 5-a-day and helping to prevent cancer.
• Soup is filling and cost effective. Especially if you use frozen vegetables, which still include all the nutrients and goodness as fresh.
• Suitable for all. Most of our recipes are suitable for most dietary requirements and are easy to amend if you need to. We’ve tailored our recipes to low salt content and replaced butter for olive oil for a reason, these ingredients are ones to watch out for especially when buying soup pre-made from a supermarket.
• Soup can be as fancy or as simple as you want it to be. It is fun to experiment with flavours and adaptations, but if you do see an ingredient you don’t fancy using, simply swop it out for one that you do like or just remove it all together.

Check out our recipes below and see if we can tempt you to try some of them out. We’d love to see how you get on, so be sure to tag us on Instagram or Twitter and use the hashtag #SouperFreshStart

Enjoy!
