Soups? The dieter's best friend!

I'm a big fan of drinkable soups (I usually have them with a salad or raw veggies on the side for a light lunch) and made one a few weeks ago that I fell in love with!
1 chicken bouillion cube or packet, 1 whole stick of diced celery, one egg, one cup of water. Boil water, bouillion and celery until celery is soft (4ish minutes?). Crack in egg and boil until set (another 2 minutes). Done!
It's like a lighter egg drop soup, with the added bonus of cooked celery, which I adore. The whole shebang is under 100 calories, but filling enough, and if you buy low or no sodium bouillion, it's low on everything0 -

Zuppa Tuscana Knock-Off
You will need
2 or 3 mild italian sausages
1 white onion
garlic, minced (maybe a tablespoon)
loads of kale
4 small russett potatoes
chicken stock
heavy cream
dash of red pepper flakes
Remove the sausage from the casings and brown the meat with the minced garlic and the onion sliced into thin strips. Pour in 3-4 cups chicken stock and then add potatoes sliced thin with skin still on. Simmer until potatoes are tender then throw in as much kale as looks yummy to you. The final step is to pour in a cup of heavy cream and throw in a dash of red pepper flakes. Eat with warm, crusty bread.
This makes a huge batch...like huge. My husband will eat 3 big bowls and we will still have leftovers.0 -

Soup makes a great entree.
Soup is good don't get me wrong but the title reminds me a little of shakeology,liquid lunches etc or at the very least a topic that denotes a certain level of unhealthy avoidance of certain foods in an attempt to drop the weight.0 -
Roasted garlic and tomato soup
About 1kg of tomatoes
A bulb of garlic
Olive oil
Salt/pepper
Stock (whatever you have, I put the kettle on and add a couple of spoons of marigold bouillon)
Quarter the tomatoes, separate the garlic into bulbs. Put the tomatoes and garlic on a roasting sheet, drizzle with a couple of tablespoons olive oil (or less if you prefer), season with salt and pepper (or don't if you're worried about too much salt), roast in the oven until the edges of the tomatoes are just starting to blacken (time will depend on temperature which will depend on how long you have).
Once the tomatoes are cooked fish out the garlic and tip the tomatoes into a blender, squeeze the contents of the garlic into the blender (chuck the skins, or you could disregard the advice about not peeling, peel them at the beginning and chuck everything in). Add about a pint of stock or so and blitz again.
Variations:
Add onion, basil, whatever.
Add a whole load of fish to turn it into fish soup, the fish will just need 5 minutes simmer in the soup.0 -
