Three of my favorites
Roasted Tomato Pesto Soup
5 lbs tomatoes, cored and quartered
1 medium onion cut into largish chunks
6 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and Pepper
Toss together and roast at @ 450 for 20 min or until very soft.
Add the roasted tomato mixture to a pot with
2 cups water
2tsp sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 red pepper flakes
And bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 min then purée.
Finish with
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 TBSP pesto
I actually reccomend tasting before adding the sugar and salt since how much kinda depends on the tomatoes.
Corn and Poblano Chowder
Saute in 2 TBS unsalted Butter
1 cup white onion
1 TBS minced garlic
Add
2 lb (6 cups) corn kernels
4 cups chicken broth
2 tsp sugar
Pruee
Stir in
2 poblanos roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
1/2 cup heavy cream
up to 1.5 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cayenne
Black Bean Soup
1 lb dry (or 4 15 oz cans) black beans
4 cups chicken (or veggie) broth
2 cups water
1 bay leaf
simmer till beans are tender (about an hour) if you use canned beans cut simmer time in half.
puree half the beans and broth (remove and discard the bay leaf)
in a skillet sautee in 2 TBSP olive oil
1 cup diced onion
2 TBSP minced garlic
1 TBSP paprika
11/2 tsp ground cumin
11/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp cayenne
pinch each salt and sugar
Deglaze with 1 TBSP red wine vinegar
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes and juice.
mash tomatoes slightly then add to pot with beans and broth and simmer 5 min.
Serve with pico de gallo. Also good with a few grilled shrimp or slices of grilled chicken thrown on top.0 -
Thank you! those all sound so delicious

I made a cauliflower soup the other day that was good. I was trying to emulate chicken and corn chowder. I sauteed some onions and garlic in a tiny bit of olive oil (use a misto bottle) until they are just starting to brown. Then add a head of cauliflower that's been cut up into small pieces. Add a couple of chicken breasts. Cover with four cups of chicken broth. Cook for 30-45 minutes, or until chicken is done and cauliflower is soft. Remove chicken and set aside. Put cauliflower mixture into the blender and blend until smooth. You might have to add a little water here to get the right consistency. Return cauliflower to pot. Shred or chop chicken and add back to pot. Add a can of corn, or 2 cups frozen whole-kernel. You can also add some bacon bits here. I use the hormel real bacon bits because I don't always keep bacon around. Heat and serve.0

I love my squash soup!
Simmer a diced onion, in a tablespoon of olive oil until onion is soft (added a jalapeno at this stage and it was awesome)
Add 1/2 cup of white wine (broth would be fine too) and bring to a simmer
Add diced squash (any works fine, butternut, acorn, hubbard, yams, carrots...a combo is often the best) I fill the pot about half full with veggies
cover with chicken stock and simmer until veggies are fork tender or even mushier...
Blend all with immersion blender, season to taste...often a little salt and/or lemon juice is the finishing touch
serve plain, or topped with whatever you want, croutons, feta cheese, etc. It's delicious and super low cal!0 -
I do chicken taco soup in the crockpot! This recipe makes about 4 servings.
1 raw chicken breast half
1 can large crushed tomatoes
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can black beans
1 pack taco seasoning (low sodium)
1 pack ranch dressing mix
Place all ingredients in crockpot and mix well. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Then take chicken breast out. Shred chicken and mix back in. Let soup cook with shredded chicken for about 30 minutes. Then serve and enjoy!0 -
I freeze soup in individual portions, so I usually have between 3-6 different types on hand.
My favorite soups are:
Buffalo Chicken Soup
Roast chicken soup with roasted vegetables (I do the double butternut and no sweet potato)
Jalapeno popper
Crockpot minestrone (I don’t even add the pasta, but if you do, don’t add the cooked pasta until you’re eating it)
Crockpot Enchilada (I use zucchini instead of beans)
Tomato blue cheese (I swap evaporated skim milk for the cream)
Loaded baked potato (can swap cauliflower for all potato)
Thai chicken coconut
Split pea (I use smoked turkey neck)
Slow cooker white bean0 -

No, not even kidding. This stuff is FABULOUS. I thought it sounded super weird, but decided to make it anyway, and I have a hard time keeping it around! SO, not to steal the thread or anything, but if people can give me other ideas to "healthy" it up, I'd LOVE you! Thanks!0 -

A really simple but tasty carrot soup.
3 medium carrots
2 medium potatoes
2 onions
1 stock cube
800ml of boiling water
Add tarrogan or curry powder to taste
Fry the veg so they lightly soften for 10mins. Add the stock and flavour and boil for 20-30mins until veg is soft. Take off the heat and blitz. Add more tarrogan or corriander if curry for appearance.0 -
I love this peanut stew - it's rich, spicy, and satisfying. It's also vegan, but if you aren't vegan/vegetarian don't let that stop you, because this stew is delicious.
West African Spicy Peanut Stew
6 cups low sodium vegetable broth
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons peeled and minced fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 bunch collard greens (or kale), ribs removed and leaves chopped into 1-inch strips
¾ cup unsalted peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
½ cup tomato paste*
Sriracha or other hot sauce
¼ cup roughly chopped peanuts, for garnish
Cooked brown rice or quinoa (optional)
In a medium stock pot, bring the broth to a boil. Add the onion, ginger, garlic and salt. Cook on medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
In a medium-sized, heat-safe mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and tomato paste, then transfer 1 to 2 cups of the hot stock to the bowl. Whisk the mixture together until smooth, then pour the peanut mixture back into the soup and mix well. Stir in the collard greens and season the soup with hot sauce to taste. Simmer for about 15 more minutes on medium-low heat, stirring often. Serve over cooked brown rice or quinoa if you'd like (this is my favorite way of serving it), and top with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.
*If you want more of a soup than a stew consistency, then use 1 C canned crushed tomatoes instead, but I think this is way better as a thick stew.
Many African peanut soup recipes include sweet potatoes. You could toss in a chopped sweet potato when you bring the stock to a boil if you like, but I like the soup as is.
Finally, if you prefer to include meat, then shredded cooked chicken, beef, or pork works fine in this recipe. But I've had a really enthusiastic response to this version from meat-eaters and vegetarians alike!
Lol, I was planning to make this as a vegetarian option for a gathering Friday!0 -
My favorite easy soup is my own take on creamy tomato basil. The base is a can of Hunt's fire roasted diced tomatoes. Throw it in the blender and add whatever seasonings you like/have (salt and pepper, hot peppers, basil, curry, garlic, onion, italian seasoning, etc.). You can also add balsamic vinegar if you like it more acidic. The key, though, is to add some sort of creaminess to it. Some good lower calorie options are laughing cow cheese wedges, light cream cheese, Bolthouse farms dressing (I like to use the blue cheese version), etc. If you have the calories for it, olive oil is a really tasty addition, too. Blend it all together, heat it up and you're done! When you're serving it, you can add toppings. I like blue cheese or feta crumbles and pumpkin seeds or pine nuts, but toasted bread is excellent too.
It's a favorite in our house and so easy to do with pantry staples. Enjoy!0 -

mmm I love African peanut stew!!! I put chicken in it because I like meat too.
I've made a few pots of white chicken chili recently--cumin, garlic powder, onion, honey, canned tomatillos and green chiles, chicken broth and either chicken thighs or breasts, white beans and salt / pepper to taste. I usually just put some chicken breasts in with the broth, tomatillos and green chiles on low for 6 hours or so, sauté some onion until slightly sweet and dump in the rest of the ingredients just to warm them. Honey to taste--I love it especially if you want to add some cayenne to spice it up (which I do!) I love it served with either tortilla chips and sour cream on top or with fried / lightly salted corn tortillas on the side.
Butternut squash soup is awesome too--just roast some squash and onion / garlic if you want, blend it when soft, add chicken stock to thin it out if needed, or heavy cream if you want a richer flavor, salt, pepper and serve with homemade croutons on top! So good.0 -

I had heard of dill pickle soup before, but never tried it because I thought it sounded bizarre. When I first saw the link all I could think was I am someone who like pickles way more than a little. I finally gave in (I substituted non-fat yogurt for the sour cream) and it was absolutely glorious. The only problem I have with it is that I am super stuffed and I still have the urge to go eat all the left overs (my husband can't stand pickles) and lick the container clean afterwards. Thank you for posting!

I made a really nice vegan lentil minestrone-thing tonight. I'd say that I made around 8 generous servings at around 250 calories each. Cooking time is probably 60 to 80mins, mostly so the soup can simmer.
10ml olive oil
450g yellow onion (like 1.5 onions)
175g celery (3 stalks)
500g carrots (5/6)
400g zucchini (1ish)
2 to 4 cloves of garlic
Potatos would be super good too, and sweet corn. Or turnips - any fall/winter veg I think. Chop veggies as desired. Throw it all in a big pot and let the onions and celery cook a little. You might want to add a cup of water after after things heat up, since there's not much oil in this recipe.
1tbsp basil
1tbsp oregano
1 or 2tsp red chili flakes
1/2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
One carton of vegetable stock (900ml or so)
14oz crushed tomatoes
14oz diced tomatoes
Let the veggies simmer for like 20 mins. I like to stagger adding the lentils, since red lentils turn all soggy when you cook them for too long.
200g red lentils
200g green lentils
Throw like 150g of the red lentils in, and let them cook for about 20 mins. You might need to add a cup or two more water. When they're cooked, take around a quarter of the solids and some of the broth and throw them in a blender. Then add that puree back in. Tbh you could probably puree the whole thing and it would be really good (and less rustic looking.)
Add the rest of the red lentils and the green lentils. The green lentils will probably take 30mins or so to cook, depending on how soft you like them.
2tbsp lemon juice
A dash or two nutmeg
Spinach or kale, chopped thin
for kale, you probably want to give it a minute or two to cook and tenderize, but you can add spinach at the last minute.
Sprinkle some nutritional yeast on top and eat it with garlic bread 0 -
