When it comes to winter comfort foods, it doesn’t get much better than soup. There’s just something so soothing about tucking into a warm bowl of deliciousness on a chilly night. Plus, they’re super cheap and easy to make in the slow cooker — so you can leave it cooking while you’re at work.
The only problem is — unless you serve them with a sandwich, soups generally don’t make the most filling meals. So, you end up ravenous half an hour after you finish! Or, you can’t even convince the male in your life to let you have it for dinner in the first place, as they don’t consider it a ‘real meal’!
The good news is, there are soups out there that won’t leave you (or your partner) raiding the pantry at 11pm. It’s all about going for recipes that are loaded with protein, good fats and healthy sources of carbs. To save you the hassle of scouring through the internet, we’ve rounded up 9 soup recipes that are equally healthy and hearty.
