    Purchase can at shop with particular flavour required. Heinz tomato is a particular favourite of mine....
    Using can opener in right hand, remove lid.
    Pour contents into pan.
    Heat or "nuke" in the microwave. NOTE: If microwave use suitable microwaveable plate to prevent explosion.
    Pour soup into bowl and eat.

    That's all Charissa.....(lol)

    bumping for more soup ideas :)

    I love the very quick, very easy Italian Wedding soup I make...

    1 carton (tetra-pak) low-sodium chicken broth
    1/4 cup dehydrated vegetable mix (I buy mine at bulk barn)
    1/2 cup acini de pepe noodles (those tiny bitty ones that end up round when cooked)
    frozen prepared meatballs (I use the Kirkland Signature ones from Costco, 6 or so)
    frozen spinach nuggets, as many as desired, I use 3

    Add everything except spinach to a large pot and bring to a low boil, until meatballs are heated through. Remove meatballs and cut into little pieces if desired. Add meatball pieces back in to pot, add spinach nuggets. Continue cooking until spinach has broken up and noodles are cooked.

    Preparation takes less than 5 minutes, soup is ready to eat in about 20 minutes.

    The lentil, kale, and carrot soup on Deliciously Organic is TOO DIE FOR! Even without the kale, if it's not in season.

    This is my fave winter soup. Especially good when you've got a cold. The cumun wafts up from the hot broth and clears your sinuses. Excellent stuff! First you make the meatballs, then you make the soup the meatballs live in.

    Albondingas (Mexican Meatball Soup)

    First make your meatballs

    Meatballs

    1 lb. lean ground beef
    1 egg, beaten
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 of a carrot, minced as fine as you can get it
    1/2 cup COOKED rice
    1/2 cup cilantro finely chopped cilantro
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 teaspoon ground cumin

    Make 20-24 meatballs out of above, rolling them in your hands.

    Then make your broth:

    6 cups chicken stock (preferably home made, but canned will do in a pinch)
    1/2 a medium onion
    3 stalks celery
    3 roma tomatoes, peeled seeded and chopped roughly
    1/2 cup cilantro, minced
    1 teaspoon cumin

    a large zucchini, large dice
    salt and pepper to taste

    Sautee the onion and celery in a nonstick pan just until it starts to get soft. Throw in the peeled tomato. Add the chicken stock and cilantro and everything else but the zucchini and bring this broth to a nice boil. Then reduce the heat to medium and keep it a good simmer for about 10 minutes.

    Then drop in your meatballs, gently so they don't fall apart. Cook them for 10 minutes.

    Lastly, add your diced zucchini and cook for 10 minutes.

    All done!

    Here's another one - beef stew for a cold day

    Beef Stew

    · 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    · 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
    · 1/2 tsp dry mustard
    · 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
    · 1 (3-pound) boneless chuck roast
    · 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    · 1 medium yellow onion, large dice
    · 2 tablespoons tomato paste
    · 1 cup good quality cabernet
    · 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
    · 1 can beef consomme
    · 1/8 tsp. cloves
    · 2 bay leaves
    · 4 fresh thyme sprigs (optional: add some minced parsley or other herbs)
    · 3 medium carrots
    · 3 medium celery stalks
    · 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
    · 1 cup large dice portobello mushrooms (can use regular mushrooms)

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Trim the roast of excess fat and sinew and cut it into 1- to 1-1/2-inch cubes. Mix the salt, pepper and mustard together and mix it into the cubed meat. Place the meat in the flour and toss to coat; set aside.
    2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Shake off the excess flour from about one-third of the meat and add it to the pot. Cook, stirring rarely, until browned all over, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove to a dutch oven with a tight fitting lid. Deglaze skillet with stock and add the juices to meat. Repeat with the remaining meat in 2 more batches; set aside.
    3. Mix the stock, wine, and consomme together and add it to the meat. Add the bay leaves, and herbs. Add the tomato paste. Bring the meat to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for one hour.
    4. Taste broth for seasonings and add cloves. Cut the onions, carrots, celery and mushrooms into large dice. Put them in the skillet and saute, scraping up any bits of meat until potatoes are softened. Peel potatoes and cut into large dice. Add all vegetables to pot. Stir to combine, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables and meat are knife tender, about 1 hour more.

    Remove and discard the bay leaves and thyme stems. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed

    The soups on here look great!!

    Here's a recipe for PastaFagioli my friend gave me. Quick to make. Has about 515 calories per serving.

    1 Pkg of Spicy Andoulli sausage
    1 Box of Low sodium Chicken Broth (I think it's 32oz)
    1 Can Kidney Beans
    1 Can diced tomatoes
    1/2 - 1 cup elbow or shell pasta (I use Dreamfields)
    1 tablespoon Basil
    1 tablespoon Oregano

    Quarter then slice the Andoulii so it's about the size of dimes.
    Brown in Non-stick pan.
    Add to Soup pot with all of the broth and bring to a boil.
    Add the pasta and cook until al dente
    Drain the beans and add.
    Add tomatoes, DO NOT DRAIN
    Add the spices and let all of this come back to boil.
    Its then ready when you are. Top with Shredded Asiago if it fits.

    It makes 3-4 servings

    I edit the recipe by using two cans of beans and tomatoes and 2 boxes of broth... everything else the same.

    My absolute favorite homemade soup is a Mexican- style vegetable.

    I make a fairly basic vegetable soup fairly often throughout the winter months (I sauté onions, carrots, celery. Add 1 can of tomatoes, vegetable stock, chopped potatoes, zucchini, and any other vegetables I have around. Simmer 20-30 minutes. Add 1-2 cans of small white beans and a couple cups of chopped chard or kale. Simmer until greens are wilted).

    To make the Mexican version, I add a cup or two of red enchilada sauce (usually homemade from dried guajillos and anchos but canned works) when I add the stock. Garnish with a spoonful of Greek yogurt or sour cream, a few crispy tortilla strips, and a bit of crumbled cotija or feta cheese and it is heaven in a bowl.
