Soup is great for a "light dinner"... keeping the calories down. The autumn is right upon us, use the seasonal veggies like artichokes and mushrooms to make a superb soup:

Agree about soup. My children will only eat my home made leek and potato soup.
Sweat off a three large sliced leeks in a pan with some olive oil and a little butter. Add plenty of vegetable or chicken stock (about a litre) and some peeled and cut up potatoes (3 medium sized ones) and a little grated nutmeg. Simmer until potatoes are really soft and add a little milk. Blend until smooth and season to taste. Perfect0 -

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!0

I love this, thank you. I have leeks and parsnips still sitting in the ground ready for just this project.0

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!0

There are so many recipes that look good on this site. I don't know what they mean by "serving size, 1 serving" How much is one serving? I haven't been able to find it from the website. Thanks for the link!0 -
Some canned soups are brilliant. Baxters fuller for longer is one - they all have between 2-3 of your 5 a day in each can, are fairly low in salt and do what they say on the tin.
But I agree, can't beat a homemade soup!0 -
I love HM soup, just had spicy red lentil soup for my lunch which was left from Saturday - some soups, in my opinion, taste much nicer reheated, with today's been one of them!!!!0

Bump for later... luv soup.0

And soup is a great way to get your vegetables if you have trouble eating enough of then. Put vegetables in a stock pot (whatever is in the fridge will work-carrots, lettuce, that little piece of broccoli, celery, onion, fennel, celery root, you name it, even canned veggies that you won't normally eat) and add some broth, cook down, blend with a stick blender, add spices and maybe some corn or beans for body, and voila. The possible combinations are endless. Delicious, nutritious, affordable.0

I've started making myself a large batch of soup each week so I can have "proper" soup daily. this week it was chicken with carrots, onion, potato, mushrooms, red chillis and basmati rice
was 193 cals a serving and kept me full for at least 4hrs
