Minestrone soup is great when the weather gets cold. I also think that if your child takes lunchboxes to school its good to have something warm for lunch sometimes so why not include homemade soup in a thermos flask. This soup recipe is easy to prepare and can be made in less than 20 minutes.
Here are some healthy & delicious low fat recipes for you to try at home. I also have some helpful advice on childhood obesity.
Ingredients
1 onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium/large carrot (75g) peeled and diced

This needs to cook a little longer to get the carrots nice and soft.

I found this needed to simmer a bit longer than the time stated above in order to get the carrots nice and soft

Very tasty! Used a full can of tomatoes and 2 carrots. Swapped the peas for some spinach i had in the freezer and grated a little bit of cheddar to sprinkle on top. Made about 5-6 servings. Will definitely be making again.

That looks really good i just had some soup for lunch and im thinking i really need to start cooking more varieties. I love how its low fat as well. I take vitamins every day and exercise a few times a week to keep in shape.
