Warm up this winter with Avonmore Soup.

Put down that take-away menu and say hello to our favourite comfort food.

Everyone loves soup at this time of year, right? It’s a year-long love affair if you ask us and fits perfectly into every season and NOTHING beats the winter blues like great big bowl.

It’s our top go-to comfort food when it’s cold outside and nothing is more soothing if you ask us. A bowl of tomato soup has the power to warm up our body and soul especially when it’s freezing.

Our love of soup is so great, we are sharing our top 5 reasons why you need it in your life this winter.

1. It’s hard to mess up

Do you struggle to pull off a decent meal in the evenings? Struggle no more…

Soup is one meal that’s almost impossible to mess up and if you’re not happy with your first attempt, add more of something and you’ll have delicious soup in no time.

This is why we LOVE soup…

2. Comfort food

Are you on the sofa or tucked up in bed sick? Chances are you’re indulging in hot soup to make you feel better – there’s a lot to be said about soup and it’s restorative powers.

Soup covers all bases – when you’re sick, feeling sorry for yourself or just need to be comforted.

Time to curl up with a big bowl of our favourite bowl of tomato soup.

3. It warms you up

Soup is a quick, hot meal that offers plenty of health benefits. If you’re struggling with the weather, the trick to warm fingers and toes might lie in a bowl of soup.

According to nutritionists, hot soup can increase your body temperature to warm you inside out.

As if we needed any other reason to love soup!

4. Soup’s a no-brainer if you’re on a health kick

Soup is a popular food for people striving for a healthier diet and for good reason as well. Studies show that simply starting meals with a healthy soup promotes healthy weight loss – hooray.

Because it contains so much water, it fills you up with fewer calories – giving a lot more satiety for a lot less calories. A large plate of chips will keep you reaching for more, while you can just have one bowl of soup and feel satisfied and fuller for longer.

Yassss!

 

5. So many flavours to choose from!

Variety is the spice of life so when it comes to our dinner, we like to shake things up to get our taste buds going. This is the main reason why we love soup – with so many flavours to try from, meals never gets boring!

We are loving Avonmore’s fresh soup range – you’ll have fun trying out all of the flavours.
