Unique Ideas for YUMMY Soups & Stews? Please.

HauteP1nk

I am always looking for some great ideas for soup or stew recipes. They are so easy... I can make them for the week and bring them to work for lunch. Or on my run nights I can have a quick bowl afterwards.

I am finding lots on the internet (thank you google!) however, I was just interested to learn some of your favorite soups. I personally don't like creamy soups but I am willing to try anything if it is low calorie and yummy. Share the recipes please.

Also, I like to use my crockpot...does anyone else use your crockpot for soups? Or even stews?

The Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Soup from skinnytaste.com is one of my favorite soup recipes. Not sure if you are familiar with the site, but she has a ton of great recipes and posts nutritional info for each one.

A good way to make soups is to make your own vegetable stock. Then it will keep in the fridge for 7 days or in the freezer for mos. Then just throw in your favorite vegetables. I recently made an asian one with vegetables and soy sauce. Then I made a soup by adding mushrooms and rainbow chard! Yummy! You can event take the broth and put it in a ceramic bowl, add just the vegetables you want and put it in the microwave for about 5 to 10 minutes and your soup will be done.

I don't know how unique this is, but I'll share it anyway. Anytime I make lentils, I add a copious amount of tarragon. It really does something to those lentils. I also add onion, carrots, celery, red wine, veggie stock, black pepper and little sea salt.
