I made this and it was pretty good...but I would make it again with cashew butter...since I am kind of sick of peanut butter as of late..

I skipped the BerBer spice blend cause I couldn't find it anywhere..and just used a mix of spices

I want to try this next

I found one for Ginger Carrot soup a few months back, I love it and it's crazy simple.

1 lb carrots
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
tablespoon onion powder
teaspoon ginger
tablespoon olive oil
teaspoon black pepper
4 oz plain greek yogurt ( or sour cream if you're not a yogurt fan)
salt to taste

Bring the carrots to boil in the broth, add everything but the yogurt. Simmer for about 30 minutes, then blend everything together either in batches or w/ an immersion blender.


Serves 4: 100 calories, 14 carbs, 3g fat, 3g protein, 3g fiber

It's good sick or cold weather soup, and freezes well.

Best thread ever!

I've had my eye on this recipe for a while...haven't made it yet, but it looks good (it's a stew). It can be made in the crock pot as well:

I love soup!!!

Here are some of my favorite recipes...

Veggie Tortilla Soup
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 4-oz can chopped green chilies
1 28-oz can plum tomatoes, drained and chopped (I get the no-salt-added variety)
1 14.5-oz can crushed tomatoes
4 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
Dashes of cayenne, salt, and black pepper <--you can leave out any of these 2 14.5-oz cans fat-free chicken broth 2 14-oz cans veggie broth 2 bay leaves <--can totally be left out 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons 1 squash, sliced into half-moons 2 carrots, chopped into rounds 1 large or 2 smallish baking potatoes, cubed Toss the onion, bell pepp, garlic, and green chilies into some EVOO over low/med heat until tender. Add the liquids and spices. Add the veggies. Bring to a boil. Turn down heat and let it simmer (I enjoy a "violent simmer" here) until the veggies are at desired tenderness. ETA: about 15-20 minutes. **I like to add shredded chicken. Sometimes I poach and shred. Sometimes I buy rotisserie and shred. But it's good vegetarian too.

Sweet Potato, Ham, and Leek Soup
Prechopped sweet potato is now available in most grocery stores. If you're unable to find it, peel and cube two small sweet potatoes to measure about 3 cups.

Prep Time: 6 minutes
Cook Time: 28 minutes
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 1 1/4 cups)

Ingredients

Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
1 cup diced cooked ham (such as Cumberland Gap)
1 1/2 cups sliced leek (about 1 large)
2 tablespoons water (optional)
3 cups refrigerated cubed peeled sweet potato (such as Glory)
1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1 (5-ounce) can evaporated fat-free milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Thinly sliced leek (optional)
Thinly sliced green onions (optional)

Preparation

1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add ham; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until browned, stirring frequently. Remove ham from pan; set aside.

2. Add leek to pan; coat with cooking spray. Cook leek, covered, 5 minutes or until very tender, stirring occasionally. Add 2 tablespoons water to pan, if needed, to prevent burning.

3. Add sweet potato and next 4 ingredients, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until sweet potato is very tender. Place half of potato mixture in a blender or food processor. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Process until smooth. Pour puree into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining mixture. Return pureed mixture to pan. Stir in 3/4 cup reserved ham. Ladle soup into bowls; top servings evenly with 1/4 cup reserved ham. Garnish with sliced leek and onions, if desired.


Lentil Stew with Garlic and Ginger
(from the Good Calorie Diet book-- a good diet for people who eat lots of whole grains and stuff anyway)

8 oz dry lentils, rinsed
4 quarts water
1 T curry powder
2 T Turmeric
1 T Old Bay seasoning
1 t coriander
1 t ground cumin
1 t dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
5 large garlic cloves, minced
3 T tomato paste

In a big pot, cover the lentils with the water and bring to a boil. Stir in all the dry seasonings, turn the heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes. Add the vegetables, ginger, garlic, and tomato paste and cook until the yams are tender (about 15-20 mins in my experience). We often leave out the celery cause we don't much like celery, and it's not worth buying a bunch for 2 stalks that don't really add much to the soup anyway.

Serves 8-10... eat it all week!

Great served over brown rice.

Healthy Cream of Tomato Soup

1 can chopped San Marzano tomatoes (it really makes a huge difference to get imported tomatoes and it only costs 70 cents more).
2 cups of chicken broth
1 cup (or whatever you want) water
1 small onion
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup cream (or milk and cream mixed)
butter
flour
cream
salt
pepper
splenda
nutmeg
parmesan

Finely dice the onion and the garlic and then saute them in the smallest amount of butter you can (this depends on the pan, I've found). When the onion is translucent, sprinkle flour in and make a pseudo-roux. Don't over flour - this is just going to add a little thickness to the soup. Next, pour in your can of tomatoes, the water and the broth. Season with salt and pepper, but be cautious with the salt, since the tomatoes and the broth are already salted. Add a TINY amount of parmesan (1 tbsp, just enough to add body to the mix). Bring this mixture to a boil for a few minutes (add milk before boiling, if you are using it). After boiling, turn down to simmer, and add cream, splenda, a pinch of nutmeg, and any remaining seasons you desire.

1 cup of soup has 176 calories and counts as .5 to 1 serving of vegetables.

Pumpkin coconut lentil dal

This is a really delicious, warming and filling lentil stew recipe that keeps me going for hours and hours, esp. on a cold fall day.

2-4 cups of red lentils (these are the best, but if they're pricey in your grocery store, use whatever you can find).
1-2 cups of chicken broth, veggie broth or water (depending on how thick you want the soup)
1-2 cans of LIGHT coconut milk (depending on how creamy you want this)
tomato paste or tomatoes, or lime juice (just to add a little acid)
1 onion, diced
3-5 cloves of garlic, diced
1 can pumpkin
splenda or sugar to taste
spices, depending on what's in your cupboard: black pepper, salt, bay leaf, curry leaves, curry powder, garam masala, fenugreek, turmeric, cumin, chilis or chili powder - you want a nice fully curry flavor, but use what you've got

Cook the garlic and the onion with cooking spray, oil or butter. Turn down heat and add spices. Cook for 1 minute. Add tomato paste or tomatoes, saute for 1 minute. Add the coconut, water/chicken broth, and coconut milk. Once the pumpkin has dissolved, add the lentils. Boil for 20-30 minutes, until lentils are cooked through. Serve with fat free Greek yogurt and a squeeze of lime.
