You know folks, good food like this Mediterranean vegetable soup has the power to change your whole outlook.

Half an hour ago I was looking out of the window here in Glasgow. At a grey and rainy day.

It’s Easter weekend. It doesn’t look like there will be any spring sunshine appearing here today.

There’s only one thing to do.

Have a bowl of this delicious energising “hug in a bowl” soup.

Now, as I sit here typing up this delicious vegetable soup recipe. I’m struck by just how much more energized and enthusiastic I suddenly feel.

It’s true that good healthy food changes your perception and how you feel about things and yourself.

I put it down to the colourful array of Mediterranean vegetables and flavours mingled into one in this soup. And that enormous burst of vitamins and minerals that it brings.

It’s a ray of Mediterranean sunshine, especially when there isn’t any outside!

Anyway, I’m sure you’ll agree when you try this yourself.

And we can always hope for some signs of spring here this coming weekend can’t we?

Tell me. What kind of foods change your mood outlook suddenly?

Why You’ll Love This Mediterranean Vegetable Soup

• Not only is it a healthy soup recipe but it’s also low cost, filling and nutritious!
• It makes about 8 portions. There’s plenty to go into the freezer for meal prep for the week(s) ahead.
• It’s an easy soup to make. There is no need for any sautéing. Everything just gets chopped up and then cooked in the same pot.
• It is so tasty! Based on a traditional Mediterranean soup recipe you get that tomato taste of a classic Mediterranean vegetable soup.
• What’s not to love about a 100 calorie soup? It’s the soup I ate the most of when I was getting myself properly in shape back. It helped me lose 2 stones in weight.
• That’s why I know this soup will help you too. If you’re just beginning your weight loss journey and embracing a new 80/20 healthy lifestyle.

You will need your largest soup / casserole pot for this Mediterranean vegetable soup.

I like to puree all of the soup, once the vegetables are cooked, but if you prefer a “chunkier” soup then just puree half of the vegetables instead.
