It's cold here in Colorado. Spring storms-yuck. I'm hoping to have a healthy low calorie soup cooking tomorrow. Any good recipes to try?

My go to crockpot soup is vegetable beef. I use 3 boxes reduced sodium beef broth 24 oz frozen mixed vegetables 1-2 cans no salt added dark red kidney beans and 1 lb cooked lean ground beef.

Ha when I first read the title I thought , cooking in a plane cockpit ??!? Lol
Check out Pinterest loads of soup recipes in there
My favourites are minestrone , and a gnocchi chowder yum

When the weather is rubbish our go to is 'magic soup' , named by my daughter and is the Greek soup Avgolemoni , done on the hob
Chicken with bones preferably , carcass is great but some meat to shred at the end .
If it's raw boil it up in some chicken stock for as long as you want , skim off any scum if it appears , remove and set aside to remove the meat for later. Don't throw away the stock !
In the same stock add rice ( about a cup of basmati or long grain ) add a bit more water if necessary and cook rice , skim off any scum . And when cooked take off heat to cool, it should be like a broth .
I add extra cold water to the pan now to cool down the soup or you can just wait.
In a jug break two eggs and add juice of two lemons a touch of salt and lots of black pepper , whisk these together until you have a sauce.
I then take a ladle or two of cool soup and add this to the egg/lemon sauce whisk and add to the main soup and bring to the boil stirring all the time .
If you don't stir or soup is too hot you could end up with lumps of egg
Shred chicken off the bones and add to soup
All done x

I just made crock pot beef stew ("low carb") and I'm pretty excited about it, not going to lie.

beef stew meat
Carrots
Celery
Onion
Au jus packet
6 cups of water
4 teaspoons of beef stock (like the jar of stock)

I think that is all! I put it all in on low for 8 hours and it was fabulous. 8 portions at 295 calories each!

I purposely left out potatoes because I'm trying to cut carbs. I'm considering adding cauliflower next time.

I made this sausage and kale cassoulet the last time we had a cold snap. It broke down to 324 calories, 8g fat, 49g carbs, 25g protein for a fourth of the recipe with my ingredients. My husband said it was almost pasta e fagioli, my kid who hates tomatoes liked it, and I had some leftovers with egg and toast the next day.
