    skinnytaste.com is great for healthy recipes. I'm sure you could find some soups on there. The website is categorized fairly well so it should be easy, or you can search too.

    I love soup - great to freeze in portions for lunches, an easy way to get in lots of vegies. Here are three which are on high rotation in my kitchen:
    https://www.thehealthychef.com/2015/05/carrot-soup-with-ginger-turmeric/ - I make this for work lunches all the time.
    http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/27177/lifesaving+lentil+soup - my DH hates soup but this one he'll eat, it's very hearty.
    https://www.thehealthychef.com/2013/07/minestrone/ - I usually add zucchini, chicken stock instead of water, quinoa, peas and leek. I serve with a bit of Parmesan. Normal cabbage (as opposed to black) works fine.

    Taste.com.au does have some great soup recipes. Most a pretty healthy as long as there isn't too much cream added.

    I tend to make soups to clean out the fridge- Everything but the kitchen sink! Most soups start with a 'flavor base' of onions, carrots, celery. Add salt, pepper, garlic, thyme or other spices and a bit of oil. Sweat in the soup pot (with lid on) for 10-15 min to soften. Then add soup stock, any other vegetables like frozen peas, squash, potato, sweet potato (really good addition to most veggie or chicken soups), canned tomatoes. Add beans or lentils or a grain (rice, barley etc) or pasta. Check some recipes to just be aware of quantities or flavor combinations. Pasta or grains should be added last and watch quantity as they will absorb a lot of liquid from your soup.
    I regularly make soup and freeze it for easy lunches, especially in the winter.
