    Creamy tomato bisque with goat cheese is an all-time favorite! Super low-calorie but still really filling.

    Yay soups! I made my yummy pumpkin soup today.

    Canned pumpkin
    Container of vegetable stock
    One onion
    3 bay leaves
    Sprinkle or two of cinnamon
    Tablespoon of dried parsley
    Salt/Pepper
    2-3 cloves of garlic
    I also added some frozen roasted butternut squash I had previously roasted
    1/4 cup of half and half (I sometimes use almond milk)

    Cook all ingredients except the half and half until the onions are soft. Remove the bay leaves. Puree. Add back to pan and add back the bay leaves. Simmer a little longer, remove from heat and add half and half.

    My husband absolutely loves soups. I am always searching pinterest for recipes for them. We had homemade Broccoli Cheddar tonight and homemade Cream of Mushroom a few days ago.

    Its all in the broth! The best soup is made by roasting the meat in a roasting pan rather than boiling it in a pot. I'll use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Its incredible. Well that is for chicken. Haven't tried anything else yet. I put lotsa veggies though- anything I can think of. I also like to do bean or lentil soup in the crock pot. Salt, pepper, cumin, garlic, onion and turkey bacon to flavor it. I usually add carrots and tomatoes to the lentils. It never turns out bad.

    Just made this yesterday! A small head of cabbage chopped, carrots, onions sauteed, San Marzano whole tomatoes that I squish, and organic chicken broth. Throw it all together after sauteeing the veggies, till everything is softened. Add a little salt, a can of Cannelini beans, Franks' hot sauce and voila!

    In the eve,I brown a very small piece of beef,then put in crock pot.Add 3 C water& a couple bay leaves.Lots of S&P ! Keep on high till bedtime,turning on low & let it simmer all night.

    In morn,put meat & broth in fridge.You can make soup once most fat is removed from meat & broth. Put in slo cooker along with 2-3 cans of beef broth,canned small dice tomatoes,diced onion,celery & carrots.After a couple hrs,add all the veggies you want. I use cabbage,beans,mixed veggies,2-3 peeled diced turnips.I don't use broccoli,as we don't care for it after long cooking.I add thyme,a small pinch of cinnamon. The longer it cooks,the better it is.Freezes great in zip lock bags or containers.
