When it’s cold outside and you are trying to lose pregnancy weight it’s a great idea to have soup on your weekly meal planner.
It’s perfect for lunch (keep a pot in the fridge to reheat as needed), it’s budget friendly, and it also allows you to pack in a load of healthy eating vegetables into the one meal.
Here are five of our favourites to warm you up on these chilly days.

Roasted Pumpkin and Apple Soup
325 cals
This soup recipe is a little different, as it asks you to roast the veggies before bringing it all together in the blender. It’s well worth the effort – just think of the difference between boiled pumpkin and roasted pumpkin. Sprinkle with some bacon for an extra protein kick.
