I've been raving about salads recently. I've been eating a lot of them and telling you to forget about soups and embrace salads with me, I even had the most gorgeous salad in Pizza Express on Sunday night instead of pizza.

I know, I know. Now I'm telling you to eat soup.

The trouble with salads are Cooper doesn't like them. He likes cucumber, carrots, sweetcorn and red pepper, but that's it. If I put down an exciting mixed dressed salad with avocado, beetroot and asparagus in front of him he just wouldn't eat it and I need him to have have a variety of veg in his diet. I still add vegetables to his smoothies and the salad he does like into packed lunch with some falafel or veggie sausages, but he needs something different in the evening. So soup it is.
