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.
