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.

    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 :)
