Thread: Glorious Skinny Soup - Syns Please

I have just picked three of these up from Morrison's they were £1 a tub and i wondered if anyone knew how many syns.

I have the Fragrant Thai Carrot and Lemongrass, New England Butternut Squash and Goan Spiced Tomato and Lentil.

For 1/2 tub they are only 150 cals and all the ingredients are free food.

Goan Spiced Tomato and Lentil info
Energy 642kj
Cals 153
Protein 6.3g
Carbohydrates 24.3g
Of which is sugar 7.8g
Fat 3.3g
of which saturates 0.3g
Fibre 3.6g

Hope someone can help as they look yum and i hoping they are a really low syn find.

does anyone know why the syns are so high in this?. it seems absurd that if make it myself with the same ingredients(leaving out the oil) that it then becomes a free food

hi, if you have the latest slimming world mag it will tell you that one of those soups in a healthy extra per half the tub, not sure which one, (think its the lentil but not 100%, but if you dont have the answer by tomorrow i can find out. my mag is at work

It's down to the oil and any thickeners

sorry for the late reply, thanks for the info guys. i ended making the goan soup myself it was yummers , made it a second time and it was yuckers knew i should have measured the ingredients the first time.

hey choclate girl, can you buy the mags in the shop? or are they subscription?

Yes, you can buy the SW magazine in newsagents for £2.75

New mag is due out soon - think it's 10 Feb in the shops, a week earlier in Group.

I can't see them on the website as a Hex yet, but then the list is very long and mixed up!

Bought soup seems such a waste of syns because you can make it completely free yourself. Make up a batch and leave it in the fridge or freeze it.

gutted, I just bought a pot from asda thinking 'how bad can it be?' - good job I had pasta N sauce for lunch and decided to check the syns when I got home! Thats something for OHs lunch tomorrow then..

I did the same - needed something could just warm through as have come down with a killer cold. Never mind - will chuck the other half out and make some tomato and rice soup tomorrow morning and put lots of basil from my plant on the windowsill in it. I usually make my own soups anyway, so no problemo.

These soups will be high, because ready made soup does not qualify for any free food allowance, so it is a straight 1 syn for every 20 calories.

You are better off making your own and saving your syns

It's an absolutely shocking amount of syns for something that's low calorie and fat! I know about the thickeners and stuff but still... Shocker!

Eek... I nearly bought one of those last night (they were on offer in Adda).

Glad I didn't bother... : )
