looking for smoothie and soup recipes

I would LOVE to share a soup recipe with you! It is 400 something calories per serving but is DELICIOUS and takes 15 minutes to make!

Fiesta Chicken Soup (serves 4)

1 can of no sugar added sweet corn
1 can of reduced sodium chicken broth
1 can of black beans (I use dark red kidney beans)
1 can of chili beans
1 large can of chunk light chicken
1 cup of chunky salsa (I use medium)
1 cup of shredded cheese

Put everything in a pot except the cheese. Bring to boil, reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes. Add cheese, stirring until melted. Serve with a handful of fritos and a dollop of light sour cream! ENJOY! (We LOVE this recipe and make it weekly! Lots of protein but be careful, it is high in sodium!
