    Do you like pureed veggie soups, or broth-with-chunks-o-stuff soups?

    A couple of easy, low-cal pureed soups that fill me up:

    http://goop.com/recipes/broccoli-arugula-soup/
    If you want to be naughty, sprinkle some parmesan on top.

    I've also used this with asparagus instead of broccoli, but you'll want to put in either one small potato or a 1/2 cup of cooked rice for better texture.

    Alteration for carrot ginger soup - use recipe above, sub:
    1lb peeled carrots for the broccoli
    1-2 thumbs of peeled minced ginger for the arugula
    At the end of cooking, sweeten with a little honey. Wait until the end, because sometimes when the carrots a re nice and fresh you won't need additional sweetener

    They don't have a lot of protein, so if this is a meal you may want to toss in some chicken or eat something on the side

    Also a note on making soup: make your own stock and freeze it! Let me know if you would like info on that :)

    I make this baked potato soup all the time. It's only 207 calories but tastes very rich.

    here's an easy one I make (it's vegetarian but you could change it up with meat stock instead of vegie stock) - in a small amount of evoo I saute 1 onion and one carrot chopped - after 5 minutes I add chopped zucchini and yellow squash. To that I add a can of seasoned chopped tomatoes (usually Italian) and one can of beans (my daughter prefers white but any bean will do - do not drain) to that add a carton of stock. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or so. Pull it from the heat and I will usually add a float of sherry, some Worcestershire, and a squeeze of ketchup and mustard to finish it.

    Oh, and this one is one of my favorites (in fact I'm serving it at my soup bar during my wedding along with the spicy tomato blue cheese above).

    All of the ones I posted are perfect for freezing because they don't contain noodles or rice. I always freeze them in little 1 cup containers for quick lunches.
