What Lizz said! ^^ It IS all done to personal preference, I love the broccoli and cheese soup but many, many others have posted on these forums that it is awful! I liked porridge to start with then went totally off them completely. One tip I have, if you can't stomach black coffee, make sure you have plenty of vanilla shakes, and add just enough of one to a coffee and whisk like mad, makes a nice latte. That seems to help me keep going. Also make sure you have plenty of curry powder, chilli, fresh herbs (but not garlic or salt) and add to your soups, I do this and my soups have a lot more 'zing' and flavour to them. Lizz, what does hth mean please? xxxx
