Hi I'm looking at making soup as bread is so high carb & calories
Anyone got nice soup recipes with macros please ? Plus how long it will keep in the fridge

    Bread is high carb/calories? A slice of bread is about 100-130 calories with 15-20 grams of carbs. How little are you eating if that is high?

    1 slice is that X 2 for s sandwich is 260 calories without a filling
    I'm eating 1500 calories a day I find bread makes me hungry & too high in carbs 18g is average a slice that's 36g on just bread.
    I lose weight better if I don't eat bread.

    I love olive gardens zupa toscana soup i found a light version here, https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=1003224 i used chicken sausage instead of turkey though. I froze mine in cup containers so not sure about fridge. Potato texture is a bit wierd after thawing but tastes the same.

    Best soups start with a little olive oil, carrots, celery and onions. Sautee until onions are transparent. Add greens, zucchini, cook just a few minutes. Add water, boullion, a can of fire-roasted tomatoes and a can of rinsed, drained black beans or kidney beans. Add salt, pepper, oregano, basil, thyme as desired. Voila, homemade minestrone, healthy and keeps for several days in the fridge. Great for bringing to work.

    I've made this myself plenty of times. I thought it would be complicated because it's "olive garden "but it is very simple and my family really enjoys it

    I made this soup yesterday with the following changes. Roast cauliflower, zucchini, eggplant in the oven to increase depth of flavor. Add one sweet potato, lg can of tomato juice, low sodium bouillon, and enough water to make it 20 1 cup servings. This will be about 80 cal/cup.

    Any stock based soup will do. Add onions, celery, and whatever root vegetables, beans and meats you happen to have around.
