Speed soup is one of the secret weapons of slimming world veterans. There is no huge secret to making it, it is simply a matter of adding a load of your favourite speed foods into a standard soup mix. Personally, I like a spicy kick and so my ingredients include a little ginger and chilli. This increases its healing properties and, in my daft little head convinces me that it helps the fat melt off!
