What: Pea and mint soup
Where from: £3.95 from Melrose and Morgan, Hampstead and Primrose Hill branches (melroseandmorgan.com).
Taste assessment: If the über-abs on display at the Olympics are making you look mournfully down at your own, what better waist-friendly supper could there be than soup? Melrose and Morgan’s pea and mint is as virtuous as they come, yet is also thick and delicious.
