1 onion chopped (fry for few mins in olive oil)
1 tin chopped tomatoes, cook for bout 10/15 mins
Salt, pepper, turmeric, cumin dash of ginger powder
Then 1 tin of red kidney beans- another 10 mins
1 tin tuna in brine few mins
Finally half a bag of spinach. Again few mins just until then soften.
Made some brown rice and served up with natural yogurt and for me chilli sauce.

I currently use a low sodium beef base along with my stew meat, but it still comes out fairly bland. I tried organic steak and chop seasoning, but that only made it too peppery for me. I am looking for something that will replace any butter, or sour cream to give it more flavor. I want flavor, not fat and calories, and I am really working hard at my food plan. I have little experience with herbs, and I don't want to over do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I like adding greek yogurt instead of sour cream to beef soups, but that might just be me. In terms of flavour, I never make soup without adding some fresh dill and parsley right at the end - it really takes it to the next level. A squeeze of lemon might be nice too, if you like sour soups.
Awesome ideas everyone, thanks for sharing! I wish I could add something, but I’ve been really boring with my cooking lately (just roast meat of some kind + side of veggies). This is inspiring me to get back on the ball!0 -

I eat what l like but look at the portions of prepared meals and go with or cut down the size. Also I eat freash food and follow the same guidelines. I am usually looking for a few calories to add through the day so I fill it with skinny cow ice cream bars, yogurht, string cheese, or fruit.0
