We all have one maybe more. What's yours? Getting that time of year in my part of the world where soup is something I always love to have. But I get stuck in a rut. So would love new ideas and inspiration. Please share your favorite.

    Easy Broccoli Soup

    Simmer chopped broccoli in chicken stock (just barely enough stock to cover). When tender, blend with immersion blender. Season with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes. Add cheese and/or a touch of cream/milk if you like. Alternately, add in onions, cauliflower, carrots, and celery with the broccoli. Super delicious and super simple!

    You can make a million soups with an immersion blender, it's probably my fave kitchen tool!

    Hubby and I love the "cabbage soup diet type" soup base recipe,but I add lots of spices. I do not recommend the lunacy of actually following the insane diet it is from, but as an appetizer or a side with normal food, it is yummy!

    Cabbage - Raw, 0.5 head, large (about 7" dia)
    Great Value (Walmart) - Vegetable Juice Reduced Sodium,
    Carrots - Raw, 6 medium
    Celery - Raw, 6 stalk large (11"-12" long)
    Onions - Raw, 3 medium (2-1/2" dia)
    Hunt's - Crushed Tomatos (100% Natural)
    garlic
    oregano
    basil
    italian seasoning
    pepper

    I like the cabbage soup too! :) Glad I'm not the only weird one.

    Another low cal soup that I thought was AWESOME is Dr. Oz's Carrot and Ginger soup. Sounds nasty but it is 70 cals a cup and made with some carrots, butternut squash, ginger and spices. Wonderful soup for this winter!

    I love soup :) I have been addicted to Pho for sometime now. It is pretty high in sodium i believe. I wish this app would track sodium.

    I love chicken soup with lots of veggies ...... it's different each time ..... I brown up chicken thighs first, then drain off any fat ....... add various chopped vegetables, drained & rinsed beans, and low-sodium chicken broth ....... add herbs & spices to taste ...... cook stovetop or slowcooker ..... have with whole-wheat pasta or brown rice, cooked separately.

    Yummo :drinker:

    Yummmmm!! I love soup anytime of year! But I, like you, have started craving it with the cooler temps here in WV. :) Eating spicy pumpkin soup as we speak (at least that's what I call it - adapted a recipe from a friend). Also recently made (and loved) Dad's cauliflower soup from Skinnytaste.com. I have a hot and sour soup that's super yummy that I adapted from a weight watchers recipe. Hmm - I see a trend here - I can't make a recipe as is! LOL

    I also like to make egg drop soup, so easy! Really all you need is a good chicken broth and some egg, but it's also nice to thicken it a bit with a cornstarch slurry, and I love adding peas, chopped water chestnuts, mushrooms, green onion, and bits of chicken. I beat the egg(s) in a bowl with a little soy sauce and red pepper flakes, then at the very end bring to simmer and stir in the egg mixture.

    i actually just made a big vat of pumpkin soup (vegan if you want, but easy to make non-vegan).

    1c onion
    1 clove garlic
    1 chopped apple(pear)
    1c green onion (or more if you like them, i add 2)
    3T sugar
    2t cinnamon
    1t ginger
    1t nutmeg
    1/2t salt (or more to taste, i don't like salt so i don't add much)
    15oz veggie broth (i get low sodium because i don't like salt)
    2 15oz cans of pumpkin (NOT the pumpkin pie kind) or 30 oz of fresh roasted pumpkin puree
    2 cups water
    1/2c of canned coconut milk (i use thai kitchen brand because it's thicker, don't use the lite version, coconut fat it GREAT for you!)
    1/2c of SOY milk (it's heats up differently than nut milks, or you can use regular milk but my family noted a difference in taste..)
    garnish with red pepper, blac pepper, dill, parsley, or whatever. i love adding cayenne because the sweetness cancles the spice but you still get a lingering warmth in your mouth that hot soup alone won't do.

    saute onions and garlic in coconut oil (you can use olive, but i find the coconut oils lends a better flavour). then add chopped apple (pear), green onions, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. after a minute or two add in water and vegggie broth and bring to a boil. turn the heat down and let it simmer for around 15 minutes. add in the pumpkin (i use actual pumpkin when they're in season, but throughout the year i'll just used canned. there really isn't much of a difference). Then blend the living daylights out of it, adding in the coconut and soy milk (alternatively heavy cream and cow milk). it should turn from a dark orange to a golden yellow color. Then put some garnishes on top and voila~ Spiced Pumpkin Soup

    Oh that sounds great! And I bet I can make a scaled down version with what I have in the house now and won't have a gallon of left overs! Yummy! Thank you so very much!

    Hungarian Goulash is soooo good. Haven't found a good one in years though. Maybe I got spoiled having a hungarian friend making it for me. Sadly we don't live close by at all now.

    I just made a gorgeous Chicken & Cannellini Bean soup tonight. I've posted the recipe too in the community post under recipe's. My picture is it. Love soup and the weather is certainly getting colder and you need those winter warmers. x
