I’m getting really in to soup at the moment, it’s great for winter and you can make so many delicious low syn varieties for Slimming World! It’s also great for meal prepping as you’re assured to have days worth of healthy lunches in the freezer to take to work! My other half is also getting very into soup, after all it gets cold on building sites at this time of year and it’s always nice to have a warm lunch to take away that chill, proving that soup isn’t just great for slimmers! One of his favourite soups is that Cream of Chicken Soup that Heinz make, but a can of that will set you back 10 syns and and I really try not to have high syn food in the house, and I’m always looking out for his health too, so it was down to me to work out how to make a suitable, low syn equivalent…and that’s how I came up with this! 

As you can see I managed to create a thick, creamy chicken soup, and the wonderful thing is that it’s just 0.75 syns per serving! Amazing right?!? That’s almost a tenth of the higher syn Heinz version and you get 8 portions from this recipe! Not only does that make it a very healthy, and incredibly Slimming World friendly recipe, but it also means it’s super cheap to make which is great if you’re trying to save some money like I am! It’s a win win on all sides, especially as it’s seriously tasty too. 

You can see from the video that that this isn’t a complicated recipe and doesn’t require any difficult ingredients! Just chicken, onions, stock, sweetcorn, herbs and some flour and milk. The creaminess of the recipe comes from three parts, the milk, flour and surprisingly enough from the sweetcorn! Sweetcorn, when blended, gives you a really creamy texture…something to remember when you’re coming up with recipes in the future! Other than the ingredients you just need a large saucepan and some way of blending the soup. I use a hand blender (like these ones) as it’s the simplest way, but if you don’t have one you can use a food processor and blend it in batches too. 

I love this soup, and I hope you love it too! It’s serving as lunch for the next five days for both me and my other half so my freezer is stacked full of zip locked bags! If you enjoy this you’ll more than likely love my Syn Free Slimming Vegetable Soup too, so give that a go and fill your freezer up with healthy, low syn and filling options to keep you on plan!
