Amanda Ursell on choosing the right kind of soup
A bowl of soup from a high street coffee shop makes a filling lunch. If you go for cream of tomato with basil, lentil and bacon or bean soup with a chunk of bread expect about 400 calories in a standard serving. To cut the calories, opt for a minestrone or a big serving of chilled gazpacho with a chunk of granary bread. Both options lower the calories to 300 because they contain more liquid than the filling bean or lentil and bacon soups.
