    Pretty sure I've posted this on like 8 different threads lol but it's my fave!

    Lemon Chicken Soup
    2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
    juice of 2 lemons
    celery stalk, sliced
    carrot, sliced
    2 cups chicken broth
    2 cups water
    1 cup uncooked pasta/rice
    black pepper to taste (the lemon juice really brings out the pepper flavor so be careful it isnt too spicy for your taste)

    Add all ingredients into a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for 20 minutes. yummmm

    Soup gets old FAST.
    Agreed! even if you have a multitude of varieties it is still soup. I like a variety of dishes as part of what I eat.

    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.

    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.
