Hey there my Flawsome friend,
Hope the day sees you well?
So today I thought I’d share with you all one of my fave go to Autumn ‘Fall’ lunch. I always crave comfort food as the seasons change and get cooler after the summer.
It’s really quick and easy to make and it’s such a time saver to have a nourishing soup on hand that is loaded with nutrients that your body needs. It’s mega tasty and will keep for about a week in the fridge.
You will get protein from the chicken, and loads of vitamins and macronutrients and a small amount of carbs from the vegetables.
This soup takes minimal prep to make.
Literally chuck all the veg in with the stock, cook and blend. Soooo easy!
If you wanted to add some extra carbs to fill you up a bit more or post workout then feel free to add rice or quinoa.
Hemp Seeds are also great to sprinkle over for added protein and some healthy fats.
And you could always add half an avocado on top to serve as a healthy fat too.

How to Make:
• In large saucepan add Courgette, Cauliflower, Onion, Garlic, Dried Rosemary, Pepper and Salt and Stock.
• Simmer for 20 minutes or until veg all softened.
• Transfer to food processor/blender (Do in 2 or 3 parts or will overflow as mega hot-BE VERY CAREFUL HERE!)

I store in a large Tupperware in the fridge once cooled and heat up as needed, will keep for about a week in the fridge, if it lasts that long!
YUM, YUM!! ENJOY!
Need a quick and easy meal plan to help you on your own healthy journey
