Soupologie

As winter approaches our healthy diets are often set aside as cravings for warm comfort food set in. Here at The Amazing Blog we wanted to find something that incorporates both, behold Soupologie’s Soup to Go range. Each soup to go is dairy and gluten free and packed with a host of highly nutritional super foods; they are a perfect lunch item to keep you feeling full until dinner.

Soupologie provide unique and imaginative flavours from Curried Sweet Potato, Coconut and Raw Cacao, to Cauliflower, Kale and Black Garlic. We were able to try these two from the range; they tasted fresh, creamy and rich with flavour. We loved the addition of the toppings for an extra boost of nutrition. These vary from flavour to flavour, including Toasted Coconut Flakes and Sunflower Seeds.

This is certainly not your average soup range, each one is well thought out and combined with complimentary textures and flavours. Lunch will never be the same again. They are low in calories with no added sugar, glucose or dairy to compromise the fresh flavour and quality ingredients that is synonymous with Soupologie.

Tideford Organic Soup

Here at The Amazing Blog we just love when we come across a food brand that both pleases our taste buds and helps us live a healthy lifestyle. That being said, we were extremely grateful when Tideford Organics sent us a wide selection of their organic soups which we found just delightful.

The company sent us Pea and Mint, Beetroot with Crème Fraiche and Dill, and Italian Tomato with Lentil and Red Pepper. Considering that the collection of soups are all organic, low fat, low salt, gluten free and wheat free, we allowed ourselves to indulge…and it was just positively sinful. Out of the three soups that we were able to try, our favourite was the Organic Italian Tomato with Lentil and Red Pepper. We loved its classic but reinvented profile, and it's the perfect replacement for the original tomato soup and grilled cheese combination. Overall, the soups are good for you, the company is passionate about what they do, and the food is delicious. Sign us up!

Though we fell in love with the soup, Tideford Organics is equally as passionate about providing a wide array of delicious and healthy foods of all kinds. The selection of food provided includes lines of porridge, pudding, pesto, and sauces.

Grasshopper Soups

When I woke up this morning all I could think about was that song sung by Dean Martin “Let it snow!  Let it snow! Let it snow!” By some miracle the majority of us we made it into the office after struggling through the snow drifts (that’s dedication to  The Amazing Blog for you!) And all we can think and talk about today is food.   Yes, hot scrummy comfort food. But the question is what to transport to work in our handbags that will be warming a delicious? Annoyingly today both our local delis are closed and the super market’s shelves are looking rather bare…

All eyes alighted on the very last pot of  Grasshopper soups. We have already consumed our way through their delicious Herby Tomato & Basil, and the fruity Spicy Lentil & Coconut. There is just one left for us to all draw lots over - the Creamy Mushrooms & Chives.

These soups have proved to be very popular with all of us. They are quick, easy (just add boiling water) and very portable (carry in handbags to work and eat at desks whilst on phone to journalists!)

The winning factor for me is that all the ingredients from Grasshopper (soups AND porridges) are 100% natural. They avoid any use of artificial flavourings, colours or additives. They also have the lowest levels of sugar and salt in comparison to similar types of products. Each of the soups are only around 100 calories – so it allows you to indulge in a little of whatever else you fancy. All pots are £7.50 for a case of 6 and £1.25 for an individual pot and are available online at Grasshopper  or in store at Whole Foods, Fresh & Wild and  selected branches of Waitrose.
