New SS+ how do you make the porridge and soup taste better??

[JaneyD8]

Hi all,
I just started today and the porridge and soup have been an ordeal! I ate the original porridge in under 2mins just to get it over with, can you add pepper to the soup? Also didn't have any milk because I plain forgot does anyone know if it matters?
THANKS!

Yes you can add herbs, spices, salt and pepper to the soups. Milks a no no I'm afraid unless your on SS+, and don't get me started on the porridge - I hate the stuff!
be strong

awww really? the porridge is really nice! I just have it exactly as it says on the apcket, almost. Put the poweder in a bowl, I add exactly 150ml of hot weater, stir it well, zap it in the micro for a minute then leave it for a minute or two which not only vools it down a little but allows some of the water to steam off which thickens the porridge a little and you end up with this nice creamy tasty porridge. yummy

Thanks guys the apple and cinamon isn't as bad and the thought of adding salt and pepper to the soup tonight is a big help!

I always add more water than I need to, otherwise it's too thick and sticky. Why don't you add cinnamon, it should help the taste.

Well ladies..(and gents..) I tried the maple and pecan today, mainly because you lot made me feel that I was missing out, and I can honestly say...I HATE IT!!!! I'm not even gonna try the apple and cinnamon cos I hate cinnamon! I'll stick to my fruits of the forest shakes I think...
love to all

I agree, it becomes very gloopy quite fast, much easier to eat with more water.

What are the fruits of the Forrest shakes like? I can't remember ever trying one. Is it fruity or creamy like the other shakes?

I only like it as a mousse x

I got told can add pepper spices etc but salt was a big no no as can make you retain water

I agree, I've been told not to add salt at all to anything.

Have to say I like the porridge but not as much as the soups or shakes x
