Soup Ideas, Please!!!

Super_mom

I love soup but have a hard time finding recipes that don't use tomatoes or similar products as I suffer from acid reflux.
Would love to try soups that don't consist of tomatoes products. If you have some please share, thanks.

Also, any quick lunch recipes would also be great.

Here are links to two of my all-time favorite soup recipes:

Broccoli and Chicken Noodle Soup - The name is misleading. This is more like cream of broccoli with chicken and noodles.
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/broccoli-chicken-noodle-soup-10000001880025/

Rachael Ray's Chicken Noodle Soup - Her recipe just turns out really tasty
http://www.rachaelray.com/recipe.php?recipe_id=746

For some other ideas - any kind of "cream of" soup would probably work well. You can always substitute FF 1/2 & 1/2 for heavier milk products. Also asian-flavored soups like egg drop or wonton typically don't have tomatoes or bell peppers in them.

I just made this the other night and it was delicious.

You could make any soup and omit the tomatoes.. well, except tomato soup, of course.

I have a bunch. E-mail me at theresa@bargainblooms.net and i will send them to you.

They are not necessarily all healthy recipes but most low calorie.

Adas soup (red lentil), in a pot combine the following: 1 cup of red lentils, i finely chopped onion, 1 tsp salt, 1 TBS olive oil. Leave on high for 15 minutes, then decrease heat and cook for another 30 mins. Then puree in a blender until you get a smooth creamy texture. For an additional kick, a few drops of tobasco sauce, pr oven grilled pita break pieces.

Enjoy!

I like to start with a can of green echilada sauce as a base. Throw in one can of equal amount water. Then just add the vegetables you like the most. I usually add celery, corn, carrots, small amount of brown rice, green beans, cilantro, onions and whatever else I want to use up in the house. Very quick soup with a spicy bite.

No recipe as it is just the base that makes it so tasty. Especially since you can make it as thin or thick as you like.

Meat eaters can simply add chicken, turkey or perhaps pork.

Creamy onion soup: http://livingitwrite.com/2011/07/13/mrs-weasleys-creamy-onion-soup/

I made turkey soup tonight and it was delicious!

Recipe:

32oz of low sodium chicken stock
24 oz of water
2 bags of frozen vegetables (I used carrots, potatoes, celery, onion and corn mix)
2lbs of Turkey thighs/legs
2TB of Canola oil
Garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and Italian seasoning (NO salt - there's enough in the stock)

Preheat oven to 350F. Take a dutch oven (a pot you can put in the oven) and put oil in and heat on medium heat. Season the turkey with the seasonings and place in oil skin down. Brown both sides for 3-4 minutes a piece.

Add half of the stock and half of the water to pot, making sure to scrape up all that flavor on the bottom of the pot. Stick in oven for 1 1/2 hours.

Remove from oven, and put back on stove. Remove turkey from pot and once cool enough to handle, remove the skin and debone the meat. Add the frozen vegetables to the pot on stove and add the rest of the stock. At this time the stock will be cool enough to taste, add additional seasonings if needed.

Once the meat is off the bone, add it back into the pot. Cook on medium low for 40 minutes or until vegetables are done.

Enjoy!

I love the Hearty Minestrone in the South Beach Diet cookbook

Egg Drop Soup:

Start with chicken broth, as much as you want. Thicken it very slightly wth some cornstarch mixed with a little cold water. You want the broth just a little thicker than 'broth.' Add some black pepper, ground ginger and soy sauce. I use low sodium soy sauce.If you use regular soy sauce, be careful, especially if your broth has salt, or you're using bullion cubes!!! Taste it. It should have a mild ginger taste, and the pepper should add just a hint of zip. Add a little at a time until you figure how you like it spiced. Then, wisk/stir in 2-3 lightly scrambled eggs, depending on how much broth you are using. Make sure you really stir until the eggs are cooked, maybe 15 seconds, or else they'll clump, and you'll have scrambled egg soup. Let simmer for a few minutes!

I usually serve this with homemade egg rolls and fried rice!

Would love to try soups that don't consist of tomatoes products. If you have some please share, thanks.

Just made this one today:

Mushroom Soup
Makes 3 servings of 150g (about 6 oz, i think) each

100g mushrooms
30g onion
5g green onion
1 garlic clove
1 T butter
1 serving mashed potato mix
1/2 beef bouillon cube and water (or any kind of broth)
1/4c fat free greek yogurt
A pinch of thyme, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes

Dice onions, green onions, and garlic and sautéed them in butter. Then add mushrooms (diced) and let it simmer for a bit. Then add water and use the mashed potato mix to thicken it. Blend the soup in a blender (but leave a little bit out if you like it chunky) with the yogurt and seasonings. Bring it back to the stove for just a few more minutes and you're done.

It was fantastic! Even my parent's liked it and they don't usually go for my "diet food" :P

I have a recipe for Mushroom-Buckwheat Groat soup on this website. It is tomato and dairy free as well as gluten free. I don't know how to share that link with you, but if you can tell me, I am happy to share the recipe.

I was just about to post this!!! LOL It is soooo tasty, and since the base of the soup is bouillon and water, with a little cream added at the end, it shouldn't be too bad for your acid reflux, though you might want to change the sausage you use, since the one I make uses Italian sausage. Here's the link to the one I make:

Check out Giadas winter minestrone...its become my new favorite! it has chopped tomatos butam guessing you could eliminate them and it would be fine. go to a health food store and find pepsin foryour reflux....

I just made the zuppa toscana soup yesterday. It is my favorite. I am the only one in my family that eats it so i freeze most of it.

Tip for freezing: use a muffin tin and ladle soup into the muffin tins and freeze. When frozen pop out and put in a plastic bag. I put the broth in some and the chunks in some so when i grab from the freezer i will take one broth and one chunks and bring to work that way (equal amounts). Saw that tip online and it works great.

I just made Dijon Chicken Stew. Yummy. Recipe is at Delish.com

lesliefoste

i like chicken barley soup. More filling than veggie soups, and good for you. I'm sure you can find a recipe on allrecipes.com. I stew a whole chicken in the crockpot; remove the chicken and bone it. Return the amount of meat you like to the crock pot. Add chopped carrots, celery, mushrooms, salt and pepper and/or whatever other veggies or herbs and spices you like. When the carrots start to get soft, add in the pearled barley (about a cup- it expands as it cooks) and let it cook until the barley is soft and chewy. Yum!

alexsmith01

Look on any of the recipe website and you'll find heaps!
I prefer soups that are kind of like stews - chunks in broth, so the broth is generally vegetable stock and spices, and the chunks whatever vegetables you like.
Last weeks was meditteranian - it was mediteranian herb paste sauteed with onion and garlic, add stock, add chopped zucchini, eggplant, capsicum, mushrooms, add chickpeas and cook.
This weeks is spicy bean and vegetables - paprika, curry powder, onion and garlic sauteed, add stock, add zucchini, a chopped potato, 2 kinds of beans (I used red kidney and butter beans), and a bunch of fresh coriander and cook.

Could also try pumpkin soup, pea soup, leek and potato soup, split pea or lentil stews

I love soup! So filling and so low calorie - I always feel full enough when I have soups and stews.

Oh P.S. I'm a vegetarian so you could add meat to any of the above

1/4 cup flour (to make gluten-free use 2 tbsp cornstarch instead)
2 cups water
4 cups fat free milk
1 large celery stalk, chopped
1/2 medium chopped onion
8 oz sliced baby portabella mushrooms

I make it without mushrooms and add extra veggies. It's wonderful, so wonderful my kids thank me for making it.

Ummmm.... anything really just omit the tomatoes/things that give you reflux. Soups are so flexible, the best way is to just throw everything you enjoy in the pan

Super_mom

thanks guys, sounds great, i will have to give them a try.

Hello,

I get acid reflux too! Try soup which contain Super Greens!! so your brocolli, courgette, spinach, peas. All you need is the greens, vegetable stock, onions and the vegetable itself. Beautiful, easy to cook, no carbs and very good for you too

Hope that helps

elfie9863

You should try the Enchalada Soup recipe that is on this site. I have made it several times, in my crock pot...it is just totally delish!!! I did ad some rice to it, but it's about 100 calories per cup without. Oddly, there is a can of pumpkin in it. Haven't quite figured out why, but it works. Soooo Good!!!
