This recipe is adapted from the amazing I Breathe I’m Hungry Turbo Atkins Soup – created as part of a low carb keto reset. I enjoyed the flavour so much I thought I would punch it out a little – plus it makes an excellent amount to keep in the fridge for lunches and also have in the freezer for those Cant Be Buggered days.

Thanks Tinks, all I can say is yummy!!!
It is absolutely delicious – I have eaten my body weight in it this week!!! The other thing that I think I would probably do next time is add some chickpeas or quinoa to bump up the fibre a bit.
Have printed and will try. Sounds yummy! Thanks xox
You’re welcome! I can’t take credit for creating it but I’ve tinkered with it for New Zealand grocery stores and vege markets.
Let me know if you like the taste! X
