just thought I'd post Picture of my home made veg soup, really easy
Carrots, leeks, sweet potato, green beens,lentils, salt n pepper, and mixed herbs..
You can add what ever veg you like, potato thickens it so no need for no need for artificial thickening..
Boiled in veg stock, blitzed, and a quarter pint of semi skimmed milk. (Optional, gives it a bit of creaminess)
I don't measure, I just chuck it all in... and it's.... devine!

Sounds and looks great! I'd probably chuck some cheese in for a bit of extra fat, to make it even more filling - thickens it up, too 
I'm trying to cut down on cheese... its my favourite go to snack!

I don't think of it as a snack but I have it in lots of recipes.
That looks amazing!
