Lowest SYN Value Soups?

[Paul_Farnham_uk]

Hiya guys and gals,

I want to stop having sandwiches for lunch at work so have started buying soups instead which i have gone for the Sainsburys Begood ones so far.

BUT... when i checked out the syn values its like anything from 9-11 Syns for a tin which seems excessive for a so called healthy option soup.

So basically i am wondering if anyone knows of any good soups which are lower in syn values as i dont wanna blow all my syns every day on soup.

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Paul

HI Paul, if you do a search in the recipe section you'll find lots of homemade soups also all syn queries need to be in the syn sub forum

Why don't you make your own syn free soup?? Loads of veggies etc to use. Make a huge batch of it, freeze it and use as needed??

Yep, only way to get them syn free is to make your own, all the canned ones are high.

Pre-prepared soups don't quality for a free food allowance so even if the ingredients are all free the end product isn't, and as you've found they are usually quite high. I believe the lowest canned soups are WW ones but it's easy enough to make and take your own, or you could have something like mugshots.

What are mugshots please? not heard of those

They are like cup-a-soups but have noodles/pasta in them. If you hop over to the syn values subforum there is a sticky with all the syn values for them at the top of the page

There's some Baxter's 'Stay Full' ones that a 200g portion counts as one of your HE, see the latest healthy extras on the Slimming World website.

The only, and the best way, of doing syn-free soups is to make them yourself but there are times when you need an emergency option. Some of the packet cup a soups can be 5-ish syns if you are in a hurry.

Homemade supper speed tomato soup is delicious! Have just made it for the first time and everyone loves it, to be honest it tastes like Heinz tomato,

It took 5 minutes to make and 3 to heat up, perfect for lunch at work, u could make it the night before x
