    Have you heard of the famous "fat-burning" cabbage soup? I happen to love it. Unfortunately, my recipe is only loosely based on the real thing. But if you like cabbage, onion, tomatoes and cayenne (+ fat-free broth base) it's an excellent and hearty soup that I'd highly recommend. In fact, I think I need to make some for myself! Thanks for this unintentional reminder! xoxo

    This is more like a soup than a chili. I make this for my vegetarian friends by omitting the chicken and adding tomatoes.

    I made a big batch of taco soup yesterday

    1 can black beans
    1 can white beans
    1 can green chilies
    1 can corn
    2 cans tex-mex tomatoes
    1 packet taco seasoning

    and then I put shredded chicken in mine, but it would still be delicious without it!!

    I swear by vegetarian lentil soup. It's hearty, low in fat and calories, high in protein and fiber and chocked full of healthy veggies. There are recipes all over the net. Adding turmeric gives an added antioxidant boost! If you'd like my own personal recipe contact me. It is a culmination of all of the best ones I've found. :)

    I think you can just do a Google search for "fat-burning cabbage soup" and you'll find it, as I did. I just tweaked mine a bit, I don't remember if the original has cayenne pepper in it but it might. I had to add kernel corn to my last batch because I put TOO much hot sauce and it was so fiery, it was virtually inedible. The addition of sugar and corn made it bearable (delicious, actually) -- but those were my pre-MFP-calorie-counting days, also! I might not add corn today.

    I make a big pot of soup every weekend for lunches (occasional dinner) throughout the week, hence I have hundreds of soup recipes. This is one of my go-to soup receipes. My ex used to say soup is not a meal, just another thing he was wrong about. hahaha

    Lemon Lentil Soup with Spinach (we like ours with swiss chard)

    INGREDIENTS

    3 tbsp + 1 tbsp olive oil

    2 medium onions, finely chopped

    4 cloves garlic, minced

    2 tsp ground cumin

    1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

    1-1/2 cups green or brown lentils, picked over and rinsed

    4 cups vegetable or chicken stock

    4 cups water

    2 tsp dried mint or 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

    Salt + freshly ground black pepper to taste

    1 8-oz bag washed spinach, tough stems removed (or 1 bunch swiss chard)

    Zest of 1 lemon, finely grated

    3 tbsp lemon juice

    Plain yogurt for garnish

    DIRECTIONS

    In large pot, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Turn heat down to medium-low. Cook until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 2 minutes. Stir in cumin and cayenne; cook 30 seconds. Add lentils, stock and water, and raise heat to high.

    When it comes to boil, reduce to simmer and cook until lentils are soft, about 30 minutes. Add mint and season with salt and pepper. Purée 1 cup of soup in food processor and stir back into pot.

    While lentils are cooking, heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan. Add half of spinach and stir until wilted. Add remaining spinach and stir until wilted. Transfer spinach to cutting board and roughly chop. Set aside.

    When ready to serve soup, bring to simmer and stir in spinach, lemon zest and juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into warm bowls and garnish with dollop of yogurt.

    Makes 6 to 8 servings.

    A picture is worth a thousand words

    Our family favorite (and do mean FAVORITE) is chicken pesole.

    Chicken broth (fat free) 3 cans (or 45 oz)
    White hominy 2 cans (rinsed and drained)
    Onions - slightly browned before adding to broth
    chicken (or tofu) 8 oz -brown and drain- shred with forks

    Add all above ingredients together and simmer for at least 15 mins

    Cut limes and fresh cilantro-add to bowls upon service. Can also have corn/white tortillas as 'croutons' for soup.

    I used to hate cauliflower but tried it roasted and love it. To make roasted cauliflower soup roast the cut up cauliflower head with a small amount of ollive oil and salt at high heat until it starts to lightly brown. Put in in your food processor with a good quality veg or chicken stock. Its so simple so you really need a good quality stock in this. Add a little salt, pepper and if you want a small can of fat free evaporated milk, and a bay leaf. Let it simmer on the stove for at least 30 minutes. For variations, you can add roasted carrots and or steamed broccoli to the mix. A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes are good too. I like to sprinkle the soup with a little parm cheese when i serve it. Its is so easy!

    http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/type-of-dish/soups/slow-cooked-root-vegetable-soup.html - I made this and replaced celeriac with turnip, left out the swede and added a parsnip. It was about 120 calories a serving (my serving is a pint as that's what fits in my flask).

    http://www.ocado.com/webshop/recipe/broccoli-and-potato-soup/1848 - beware though, this gave me, er, digestive issues. Still, it still wasn't as bad as the time I made brussels sprout soup...

    I make a nice Carrot and Coriander one, its sooooo easy n really tasty.

    Boil some carrots ,add on veg stock cube.

    when carrots are soft drain them over a bowl or pan (you may want some of the water to thin the soup)

    Blend them with a bit of dry coriander, black pepper and then add a handful of finely chopped fresh coriander

    If soup is a little thick add some of the water used to boil the carrots in.

    This is a great low fat vegetable Lasagna. first you have to pre cook your noodles weither they are the pre cooked ones or not, they will still be hard if you dont.

    1 med eggplant
    2 small zuchinni
    1 pack mushrooms
    1 bag of spinich
    1 can of crushed tomatoes
    1 whole garlic clove
    chili powder
    light cheese
    what ever other seasonings you like

    cut up all the veggies into the size you want, i usually do about 1cm square cubes for eggplant and just round slice then half the zucchini. put olive oil in the pan and use about half the garlic clove crushed up and lightly fry the add the eggplant until it starts to get a bit transparent. same with zuchinni, and mushrooms. i cook them all seperate but you could probablly do it all together. Season them to taste while cooking. I cut up the spinich raw ( whole bag) and mix it into the veggies once they are all cooked. the spinich will cook in the oven. fry the second half of the garlic clove and add the can of crushed tomatoes and heat then mix into the veggies. you can use any kind of pasta sauce i just prefer the crushed tomatoes as it give it a nice fresh light taste. then just layer as you would any Lasagna, and add a light cheese if you want. for seasonings i just use chili power, onion powder and what ever elese i have. i guess the spices would be just what ever you like.

    I have also just used this as a spaghetti sauce, or mix with macaronni ( if you mix with macaronni dont use too much you want more veggies than pasta)

    the only fat in this is from the olive oil and cheese

    Is there anything you CAN'T make soup out of? When I was on a strict very low kcal diet my dinner was usually any veggies I had on hand(broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, onion, garlic, frozen wok veggie mix etc) - chopped them up, put in a pot of, maybe, half a cup of boiling broth and let it boil until all veggies were soft. I then blended it all together with a mixer until it was fairly smooth, seasoned to taste and topped with a tablespoon of greek yoghurt/philadelphia or whatever I had available. I got a fairly big bowl of a thick YUMMY soup that never exceeded 200 kcal.

    And the thicker consistency kept my tummy full for several hours. =)
