Your BEET believe in a no rule approach. Life happens. Stress happens. No-time-in-the-world-to-cook-everything-from-scratch-days happen. When you just need to throw together a quick meal, canned soups can be a farily healthy alternative. The only downside is that they can be quite low on protein and fibers. Here’s a few tips on how to boost ready made soups:

Mushroom soup

• Silken tofu – mix until smooth with a hand mixer and whisk together with the soup for extra protein.

• Fresh white mushrooms – fry together with garlic in oil and japanese soy.

• Spring onions

• Sesame seeds

• Chopped walnuts

Tomato soup

• Boiled cannellini beans

• Roasted pine nuts

• Fresh thyme and oregano

Carrot / sweet potato soup

• Roasted chickpeas, almonds and pumpkin seeds – Spread out chickpeas, almonds and pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil and season with salt. Roast in the oven at 200°C /392°F for 7-10 min until golden.

• Fresh coriander
