Soup for dinner

MoiKarina

Hey guys,

The temperatures are dropping so the need for a hot soup for dinner started to trigger me. Any idea for a nice soup without potatoes? Ho and please not the cabbage one either. :happy:

Thanks

Check out skinnytaste.com - her 'dad's creamy cauliflower soup'. Is really good. Also black bean soup and stuffed pepper soup are just as hearty.

Thanks but I try and stay away from processed food. I was more looking for a recipe. Still thanks for answering me.

My soup of the week this week is bacon and bean. Fry up some onion and bacon, add 2 cans of cannelini beans, throw in a can of crushed tomatoes and add vegetables of your choice. I used carrot, cabbage and potatoes but you can use whatever you like. Season to taste - I used paprika, black pepper and Aromat. This works out at about 300 calories per bowl for me, but you can adjust quantities to meet your own macros.

My soup recipes usually come about like this:

1. Open fridge and see what veg needs using.
2. Chop onions and garlic and fry in cooking spray until browned.
3. Chop whatever veg I found and add to the pan
4. Add veggie broth, usually about 1-1.5 l
5. Add beans, pulses, tofu or peanut butter for added protein
6. cook for 30 min
7. Process until creamy and add seasoning

Done! Tastes brilliant every time!

Taco Soup! You can choose to add ground turkey or chicken or tofu, but use tomatoes, corn, black beans, onion, green chiles, and your favorite taco seasonings.

I also love homemade chicken soup. Boil a whole chicken with carrots, onions and celery - washed, but no need to peel the veggies, just cut the onion in half and toss it in, skin and all. Add salt, peppercorns and bay leaves. When stock is done, refrigerate so you can remove the fat. Debone the chicken. And return it to the skimmed stock. Chop fresh peeled carrots, celery and onion, add to pot of stock and bring to a boil, cooking until veggies are done. Add salt to taste.

I think Taco Soup must be a US thing as I never heard of it before. Can you tell me more about it?

My beef/veggie soup takes
a while,but this is my "recipe".
I cut a roast into 4-6 pieces,put one in slo cooker,or in big pot on stove,Cover with water,simmer or high in SC.
When meat is falling apart tender,let cool,remove all fat.I let broth cool & remove most of the solid fat.

Start reheating broth,adding the meat,canned diced tomatoes,lots of beef seasoning,pepper,thyme ,can add rosemary & a couple bay leaves.
ADD a diced onion,2-3 celery stalks & shredded cabbage.I use 1/2 a head & shred fine,sliced carrots.Let simmer a couple hrs.

Add every kind of frozen,canned or fresh veggie.
I choose from a couple diff kinds of drained canned beans,green beans,diced turnips,green beans etc.No broccoli or cauliflower,as I don't care for the texture when reheating.

Let simmer for an hr or 2,adjust seasonings.
Made this Friday .DH & I had it for 2 meals & one lunch for myself. Then froze 8 zip locks with 2 measured cups in each.Even better re heated.

I typically brown one pound of ground turkey with one chopped onion. I then drain and rinse the turkey and onion mixture returning it to the pot. I add one large can of diced tomatoes, one can of green chiles, one can of corn, one can of rinsed black beans, and taco seasoning. Sometimes I use taco seasoning packets, but other times I just put in cumin, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne. Let it simmer for about an hour. We serve it with plain Greek yogurt and avocado chopped up, along with fresh cilantro.

--+Polish Pickle Soup (I'm 100% Polish so this is a huge thing in my heart- it's delicious, and so few calories)
- Turkey chili with the fixings you like
- Turkey/chicken noodle soup
- French Onion Soup with Gruyere
- Chicken Tortilla Soup
-Beef and barley broth soup
-PHO!!! one of my favorites

The reason I haven't posted recipes is because I am very impromptu with my soups. But I recommend looking on Foodgawker.com for ideas. Even though I am terrible at following recipes, I have always relied on soups to fill me up, make me happy, and give me a good meal

Pumpkin Soup

1 container of vegetable stock
1 can of pumpkin puree
3 bay leaves
1 onion
Salt and Pepper
Dash or two of cinnamon
1/4 cup half and half

Cook the onion in the stock until soft. Add pumpkin and puree (I use a stick blender). Add the other ingredients except the half and half and simmer. Remove from heat and add the half and half.

SPICY PUMPKIN SOUP.


Brown I large onion, as much garlic as you can stand, 2 green chillies, 1 heaped tsp ground cumin and 1 teaspoon chilli powder in 1tbs of olive oil.
Fill your saucepan 3/4 full with diced pumpkin and 3 large carrots.
Put in just enough water to cover the veg and add 2 stock cubes of whichever type you like. I use either chicken or veg.
Loads of black pepper.
Bring to the boil and simmer till all veg are well cooked.
Blitz with a hand blender and either make the soup completely smooth or leave some chunks.

Delicious, warming, filling and very few calories. You may need to add more water as some of it will evaporate during cooking.

There are no weights and measures as I never use them and judge it all by the size of the pan I'm using.

We're having soup tonight. Fired up the crock pot this morning.

Browned some pork belly with an onion. Threw it in the crock pot the following chopped up vegetables: Purple Caulifower, Brocolli, Leeks, Mushrooms, Red Bell Pepper and 2 chopped Jalapenos. Pepper, Crushed Red Peppers and Garlic.

Then I brought 8 cups of water and 2 cups of milk to a boil, added chedar cheese and poured the mixture over the veggies in the crock pot.

House should smell great when I get home in 10 hours.

Hi, I have not posted before on here. I do not know if we may put web addresses, but if you put Reversing Type 2 Diabetes diet in a search engine then look for the Newcastle University trail there are recipes if you click on the links. If I can post a link it is here: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/reversal.htm

All the soups do not have potato in them.

Warning this is a very low calorie diet aimed at trying to reverse diabetes. The idea being that when people have bypass surgery they often are free from diabetes the next day, so this trial was to see if it was the low calorie consumed that did this.

I hope this helps.

Below is an example

.French Onion Soup
Ingredients
1kg onions
2 tbsp thyme
1 litre beef or vegetable stock
Makes 5 portions 74 calories per portion

Mushroom Soup
Ingredients
200g chopped onions
1 crushed garlic clove
Fresh thyme
400g mushrooms
850ml vegetable stock
Makes 5 portions 42 calories per portion

Tomato Soup
Ingredients
3 x 400g chopped tomatoes
850ml vegetable stock
1 clove garlic
Fresh basil leaves
Makes 5 portions 53 calories per portion

I've been making lots of chorizo, chickpea and cabbage soup recently (It may have cabbage in, but it's not 'cabbage soup'...). I fry the chorizo a bit to release the oil, then fry a finely chopped leek and some garlic until soft. I then slice a cabbage (I've used green and white cabbages), add the chickpeas and water and leave to boil away. I don't use stock, but you could obviously. I also add smoked paprika and sometimes chilli powder or cayenne if I fancy a kick. The quantities of the ingredients depend on how much you want to make.
