Easy soup recipes anyone?

motivated_kel

I would love for people to share some soup recipes with me! I LOVE soup so much. The mother I babysit for is moroccan, and always makes delicious soups with lentils in them, so if anyone has any lentil soup recipes, or ANY they would like to share, post away! Preferably soups with few ingredients though (in college, not ton of $ to spend on groceries ) Thanks everyone!

http://www.food.com/recipe/peanut-butter-vegetable-soup-410140 is one of my favorites and it's quick.

There's a really good cabbage one from a detox I did, also pretty simple, but unfortunately, I don't have a website.

I will cut up 2 - 3 potatoes into small cubes, cook them in water until tender and then add some "cream of " condensed soup. I like cream of celery or potato, but mushroom or chicken would probably work well. Then add whatever vegetable you have on hand. I generally use frozen. I have used broccoli and mixed vegetables, corn would be good. Then if you want add a handful of shredded cheese. If you don't like "cream of " soups, use stock or bullion instead. For a little spice, add some salsa to the soup.
