Soup Cubes!

 
 
Gemma, a very good friend of mine and also fellow blogger, gave me an idea to make u some soup and make them into these handy little soup cubes which are small portions of your soup that allowd you to enjoy it whenever you want to. I decided to make some Slimming World mushroom soup which is Syn Free and one of my favourite soups to have especially with the weather on the change. So how can you try this for yourselves at home, make your favourite, winter warming and healthy soup then once you have made your soup transfer it into some silicone muffin trays, allow to cool and transfer to the freezer. I find these especially good when i do not know what to take to work for lunch, i simple pop one or two portions out the tray and take it work and pop it in our freezer, then when lunchtime comes around i pop my cubes into a bowl and heat through then enjoy. The picture above shows my soup cubes, whilst cooling, before i transfer them into the freezer.
If you would like to try this slimming world mushroom soup here is the recipe.
 
Ingredients
2 onions peeled and chopped
500g mushrooms any variety
2.5 pints of Vegetabke stock, use slightly less if you want your soup thicker
200g Low fat fromage frais
Salt and Pepper for seasoning
 
1. Finely chop all your mushrooms and fry them along with the onions in some fry light in a large frying pan.
2. Add the vegetable stock and bring it to the boil, Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Remove this from the heat and transfer your soup into a food processor, blender or use a hand blender to blitz everything togther.
4. Add the fromage frais and blitz again until smooth and well mixed. Serve immediately or allow to cool slightly and transfer into your trays to store in the freezer as soup cubes.
 
Definately a quick and easy winter warmer, perfect to enjoy whilst at work or simply sitting at home and chilling out on your sofa.
