Soup season is officially here.
With the temperatures dropping and the skies turning grey, many of us are cranking up the heating to fight off the chill. But there's another comforting way to warm up.
user Lauren Scully, known as @leanwithlaurenx, who regularly shares healthy online, has come up with a "zero calorie" soup that's perfect for those wanting to enjoy delicious food while .
The best part? She doesn't suggest having it as a standalone meal. Instead, Lauren recommends it as a fantastic addition to incorporate more nutritious elements into your diet.
Given its extremely low-calorie content, it's not something you need to keep track of. In a revealing video detailing the recipe, she said: "This has zero calories, and it's an absolute game changer when trying to lose weight. It's officially soup season and, I don't know about you, but I absolutely love autumn."
She added: "The key to fat loss is bulking up on your micronutrients, but sometimes you don't want a salad for lunch. This is where my zero calorie soup comes in."
All you need, according to Lauren, is a bag of vegetable soup mix, two tins of chopped tomatoes, a bit of pink salt, some mixed herbs and garlic. Dissolve two stock cubes in boiling water, pour into the soup mix and let it simmer on the stove.
Once cooked through, blend the ingredients for a simple, delicious treat. Lauren boasts about its simplicity and "unreal" taste. Plus, it's fantastic to dip your toastie into.
As we tiptoe through the winter months, this trick could be a clever way to sneak more vegetables into your diet - or your child's -and is super quick to make, even when you're pressed for time.
The video tutorial has garnered hundreds of views, spurring prompt reactions from viewers. People seem a bit torn as to what they think though.
Fans who've tried this fast recipe affirm that it's "perfect". Some point out it may not strictly be "zero calorie", but Lauren's emphasis was on its health benefits and low-calorie nature.
Enquiries streamed in, with one curious viewer asking: "Is it 0 calories, or hardly any calories?" Meanwhile, another queried: "How many calories?"
