Low Calorie Soup

RebMW

Anyone have any LOW CALORIE soup recipes to share?

Here is my new favorite soup that is very filling and low calorie. Sorry for the weird format but I cut and pasted out of my recipes. YUMMMM

SPICY FIDEO SOUP
Swanson - Chicken Broth - 99% Fat Free, 4 cups
Q and Q Brand Original - Vermicelli (Fideo), 5.25 oz
Shredded Carrots - 2 cup
Celery - 2 cup chopped
Rotel - 1 1/4 cup
Ground Cumin, 1 tbsp
Chili powder, 1 tbsp
Dehydrated onion flakes, 2 tbsp
Navy Beans, 1 3/4 cup

Throw everything EXCEPT FIDEO in a pot until vegetables are cooked. Add fideo and cook until tender. Add water when needed. Season to taste.
Easy Peasy!

I love making broth soups. Crazy low calorie and you can do anything with them. My most recent is:

8 Cups Reduced sodium Swanson Chicken Broth. (2 containers)
1 cup Baby Carrots cut into thirds.
1 cup Cauliflower cut into bite sized pieces
1 cup Broccoli Florettes cut into bite sized pieces
1 Medium Onion Diced
2 Tablespoons minced Garlic
2 Yellow Squash, halved then sliced.
1 Zucchini halved then sliced.
2 Jalapeno halved and sliced. If you don't like spicy, cut out the seeds/membrane or simply leave out.
2 Cups high fiber low sodium lentils. (Could substitute split peas)

Simmer all the ingredients together until the Lentils are just starting to soften, about 30 minutes.

From here, you can either just have a healthy, low calorie soup, or you can do what I did and add precooked frozen shrimp for a bit of protien but barely adding any calories.

Either way, when the soup is done. I tear half a cup of spinach into the bottom of my bowl and pour the steaming hot soup over top, the soup will wilt the spinach for another big bump of flavor/vitamins

Enjoy
