Spinach and Potato Soup
Soup is a great way to get in some of your 5 a day. Vegetables are good sources of fibre. An extra tip to get more fibre from fruit and vegetables is to eat the skins. Make a double batch of this soup for days when time is tight. Serve with wholemeal bread to make the meal high in fibre.
