    HFG tip

    Amie says: "I started making this soup as I was starting a healthy eating and fitness programme. The soup is low in fat yet still manages to fill your hunger and satisfy your taste buds. It takes no time at all to make and is equally good if you're in a hurry or want to have a sit-down meal. I'm a diabetic so I enjoy wholemeal bread with it as the carbohydrate part of the meal."
