We have started a tradition for the fall/winter in our house: Soup Sunday. Make a new soup recipe each Sunday. My husband is loving it. Fresh soup tastes amazing a servings are under 300 calories for any I am making. Make a large pot on Sunday and save the rest for the week. Helps the waistline and the wallet. And a homemade soup beats canned any day!
I do this too...its called Sunday Supper Soup. I throw in whatever leftover meat from our Sunday supper and then slam it with all kinds of veggies. It serves as my lunch for the rest of the week...double win!0 -
Hubby is a Truck Driver so every Saturday/Sunday when he is home we make meals for the whole week that way we can Skype dinner together. I try to plan a soup each week as one of those meals.
As far as "servings" go. I always put all the ingredients into MFP and measure out what I get into 1 cup servings (which is the size of my ladle). There are 4 cups (servings) per quart of soup.0 -
Soup has been my mid-afternoon meal for the last month. 70 calories Progresso Lite...But I will try some of the awsome recipes that some have posted...Thanks0

I eat homemade soup nearly everyday for lunch. 8 ounces fills me up and keeps me going until my 3:00 snack. There's so many varieties I never get bored. Sure beats the hell out of salad.
Absolutely better than salad! Especially in the colder months. I want something HOT for lunch!0 -

[I forgot to say, I take one can of soup divided in half, one can will = two days of mid afternoon snack/meal]0 -
I loved the cabbage beef soup Shoney's Restaurant made when I was a teenager. My version of it. I like chicken better so . . .
after fixing stewed chicken I use the broth left over and make my soup. I cut up a head of cabbage, add a can of chopped tomatoes (I can them during the summer but store bought works fine), a diced large onion, some chopped green onions using the whole thing, Salt and pepper flakes, 16 oz or more of tomatoe juice, a couple stalks of celery, then you can add carrots, or any other veggie you want. You can use beef stock instead of chicken. I like to use my own chicken broth because of the sodium in everything you buy is high.0 -
I agree. I grew up on canned Campbell's soups. So, it wasn't until I was an adult and started to cook my own meals that I fell in love with soups. My soup recipes are the recipes most requested by daughters now that they are grown.0

We like to make soup with all our random leftover veggies at the end of the week, and store the leftovers in freezer. Makes a delicious lunch for later, and we don't get tired of that particular soup.... However, our freezer is getting really full from all the soup we've had lately... yum0

thank you passing this link along!0

my favorite is a knock off from olive garden's zuppa toscano. I cook potatoes and turkey italian sausage, add milk and heat until hot then I take Kale i have chopped and drop on top of my bowl of hot soup to steam cook. I don't have calorie count because I haven't ran it through the recipe thing but it is soooo good and tasty.0

Bump for later0

Just had soup for lunch - New Covent Garden Plum Tomato. Yum.
I do make homemade soup when I have the time, but love the New Coent Garden soups for when I don't.0 -
As I am scrolling through I am eating Campbells cream of potato with dried beef and baby pearl onions added Warm and yummy0

Totally agree and love soup!
Just be careful about the sodium though. Some soups can have a LOAD of sodium, and that's not good for your health either

Love homemade soups. Thanks for posting.0

When I was younger I hated any type of soup. However, in the last year or so, I have really developed a taste for it! My current favorites are potato & broccoli soup, and chicken veggie soup.
And this time of year, you have to have a bowl of chili from time to time! I love my traditional chili or white chicken chili either one!
The only drawback to soup for me is, neither my hubby nor my kids are huge fans of soup!0 -
I love batch cooking on Sundays, and soup is usually one of the items on my to-cook list. LOVE having soup for lunch each day and having enough different varieties in the freezer to keep it interesting. I freeze in individual serving ziploc bowls and then pop out into a ziplock bag to store in the freezer. Each morning, I put one of those freezer bags of soup in my lunch bag instead of an icepack to keep everything cold until lunchtime.0

(Marking for later..thanks for the links.)
Can't beat homemade soups for lunches on cool days! I use the slow cooker and make a vegetable soup with added legumes. Great for cleaning out the frig, filling and delicious.0 -
I'm getting a kick out of the 'cold day' comments. one of my favorite things in the world is conch chowder on a steaming hot island at noon, with additional hot sauce. very favvorite0
-
I agree. I've eaten it for the last 3 nights. It's so filling. I just make sure to only eat soup I make because canned soup is so full of sodium.0

Cream of broccoli, so yumm. I use this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/best-cream-of-broccoli-soup/?scale=6&ismetric=00

A great " can of soup" with low calories, and decent protein is Campbells Go (its in a pouch). I love the Moroccan Chicken. Its great to keep at work as a "just in case" meal. Good luck everyone!
I do this too! I always keep some soup in my office for the "just in case" meals I actually did this today! Today it was grilled chicken and vegetable. Just have to watch out for the sodium content in some of them...but they are a great choice most of the time! 0 -
Currently eating a cup of Knorr "Cup of Soup!" At 50 calories a cup, it's a great winter snack that leaves you feeling like you've eaten more than a few lettuce leaves. Homemade soup is the bomb too. I'm a big fan of cabbage soup as it's low in calories and has mystical "healing" properties.0

Ooh I do this too it's awesome! We've had a few cold days and I've been so thankful for the soup! Just a reminder to everyone that soup freezes incredibly well so there is no risk in making a humongous pot o soupWe have started a tradition for the fall/winter in our house: Soup Sunday.
