I am not the best cook either.
I make soup out of spaghetti sauce.
1/4 cup of spaghetti sauce
1 can of white kidney beans
1 cup of frozen green beans
1 cup of frozen corn
1/2 cup of frozen broccoli
And 3/4 cup or so (I eyeball it) of water
I let it heat through & then add 1/2 cup of orzo. Then I simmer until orzo is cooked. Add a dash of garlic powder, a dash of parmasean, and done.0 -

Mexican Chicken Soup
Sauté until beginning to get tender:
4 carrots, cut in big chunks
1 onion, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced thin
4 potatoes (or serve over rice)
1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
Add and mix:
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
Add and bring to boil, then reduce and simmer partly covered
4-6 skinless chicken thighs
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
Enough water to generously cover
When about done add and cook until zucchini is done to liking:
1-2 chayote (if you can find it)
1 zucchini
Frozen corn mini cobs
For extra protein, try adding a whole hard boiled egg
Top with cilantro, avocado chunks, hot sauce0 -
Some of my faves:
Vietnamese banh canh
Sizzling rice soup
Chicken vegetable tortilla soup with avocado
Butternut squash or pumpkin soup - easy to make in the blender or food processor
Black bean soup0 -
I love soup because it is easy to make....or at least the ones that I make are...
Currently simmering on my stove for this weeks lunches:
"Italian" beef Soup
1lbs ground beef browned, crumbled and drained
minced garlic
italian seasoning blend
beef stock(low sodium)
can of stewed tomatoes
can of kidney beans
3/4's of an average sized bag of mixed veg.
brown beef with garlic, throw in tomatoes, beans, italian seasoning blend and stock....simmer a bit. Throw in veggies. Simmer a bit more. Eat.
It's even better with some macaroni added...but the trick is to cook the pasta and drain it sep. and then just add the pasta to your bowl when you pour your steaming hot soup over top. This way the noodles don't turn to mush sitting in the liquid. I like to eat it with a big piece of garlic bread.
It's not quite so low-cal but I also make a killer knock-off of olive garden's zuppa tuscana if anyone wants that recipe.0 -

Let me share with you the easiest recipe ever!!
Taco Soup (ww rec from a long time ago)
Brown 1 lb lean hamburger
2 cans tomatoes diced
1 can tomato sauce
1 can corn
1 can blk beans
1 taco seasoning pkg or I use 1/2 of Trader Joes pkg.
1 pkg ranch
Simmer for 20mins. Taste best the next day:)
I know this isn't for the clean eater, but very good if you're not:)
I make a version of this called "one of everything" because I only use 1 can of diced tomatoes-usually fire roasted (no tomato sauce) and add 1 cup of water.
ETA the last time I made it I added some kale that I had left in the fridge.0 -
Very easy butternut squash and carrot soup:
1 average sized butternut squash, chopped
500gr carrots, chopped
1,5 liter reduced salt vegetable broth (this soup tastes better with less salt IMO)
2 onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp olive oil
1 bunch coriander, roughly chopped
Heat oil in a pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft. Then add the ground cumin and cook for one minute to release the flavour of the spice. Add the butternut squash, carrot and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Puree the soup with a hand blender until smooth and then add the fresh coriander.0 -

I made this soup tonight and it was really frickin good.
2 chicken breasts ~ 16 oz all together
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 14.5 oz canned tomatoes with roasted garlic and onion
1 15.5 oz Dark red kidney beans
1 cup lentils
43.5 oz of water
2 chicken boullion cubes
A couple dashes of onion powder, garlic powder, pepper and accent
Just put everything in the crock pot on low for 8 hours, take the chicken out and shred it, add it back in and serve!
I'm not really good with macros... If anyone could figure this up that would be great! I'm pretty good at eyeballing things and I ate 2 bowls of it an calculated 560 calories. It has a lot of protein0
