How It Started

It all started in the summer of 2009. My wife and I had been trying a number of healthy diets to try and keep in shape, but a lot of these involved complex schemes, special foods, motivation, meetings, pills, powders, shakes, MONEY and time.

I had just been for an annual health check and my doctor advised me that I was a little over weight and that I could do with losing a few kilos. I had tried a few of the soup diets in the past and although these proved to be quite effective I found them to be quite dull and boring and a real challenge to stick to for more than a week. In addition to this I detested the prospect of having to cut up endless vegetables, boil them and make huge vats of soup for the week.

At the start of the week the soups were quite nice but things began to deteriorate by the end of the week and then of course I had the aromatic side effects of eating vast quantities of cabbage and vegetables!

So I set about trying to develop my own recipies that would have the same weight loss effect. I teamed up with a good friend of mine and Soup Club was born.

Together we developed some exciting and varied recipies. Some were blended and chunky soups, we even came up with a really low fat, low calorie great tasting stew and some ended up like smoothies that are great cold – a bit like a type of Gazpacho.

They were so tasty that people, who were not looking to lose weight, even tried them and are still ordering from us today, months later. We have people ordering from us who just want to top up their intake of fresh fruit and vegetables. People tell us that they like the meals that we prepare for a number of reasons and not just to lose weight – we have all manner of customers. People like to take the blended soups to work for lunch because they are easy to fit into a bag or briefcase and prove to be a cost effective way to eat healthier as part of a balanced diet.

We hope you enjoy our soups, stews and blended vegetable drinks. If you have any thoughts or ways we can improve things then feel free to get in touch.
