I love soup but I can't have it because of the sodium levels :-(
Even when I but the low sodium there is still so much.0 -
I LOVE all of Campbell's Select Harvest LIGHT soups... I believe most, if not ALL, of them are under 200 calories. They are heat & serve ready, but I always add more water just to have additional water intake.0

I like the Progresso low sodium soups...however they are not as low as I would like them to be. I usually eat the Minestrone or Tomato Parmesan.0

Nile Black Bean Soup!! Only 170 calories and soooo filling!!0

Chicken noodle soup (I use campbell's chicken broth plus water, roasted chicken meat, celery, carrots, egg noodles, and a bit of potato, sometimes some frozen peas right at the end).
Beef and vegetable stew (1.5 lb beef for stewing, brown on stove, add 1/2 c water and cook in oven at 300 for 2 hours. Then add 4 c water, carrots, celery, cook for 30 min before adding 1 small can tomato sauce, 1 T brown rice, cook another 30 min, add potatoes, cook 30 min more. There's a lot of adding as you go, it works ok to put it all in a crock pot - except potatoes - and let it go all day, add potatoes when there's 1 hour left but doesn't taste quite as good)0 -

Low-Fat Lemon Chicken Orzo at Panera. Yes, the sodium could kill you...but it's so good!0

Any vegetable (frozen or fresh) seasoned, sauteed, then simmered in low sodium broth, and blended (magic bullet, regular blender, imersion blender, food processor) with greek yogurt, cottage cheese or even white beans make tasty, low calorie soups. My favorites are sweet potato and broccoli/cauliflower. Just make sure not to add too much broth or the soup is too thin, making it less satifying. These are also good chilled.0

Any of the Campbell's Select Harvest soups are good. Most are lower in calories (besides the cream-based soups) and even come in "light" for an even lighter version of your favorite soups (All under 80 calories per serving.)
I really like the Savory Sausage and Vegetable (it's spicy and 180 calories per can) and Chicken with Whole Grain Pasta (good chicken noodle with 200 calories per can).
Progresso has a lot of light, low sodium, low fat, fiber-full soups too. They make the best Light New England Clam Chowder. (200 calories per can and its CREAM BASED!)0 -
I make a very unauthentic but very fast Pho which is really tasty and satisfying.
300g good quality steak, sliced very thinly
1 cinnamon stick
2 star anise
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 red chilli, finely sliced
2 spring onions, sliced
900ml chicken or beef stock
350g rice noodles
Handful bean sprouts, handful mint leaves, stems removed, handful coriander, chopped and lime wedge, to serve
Cook the noodles as directed on pack. Combine cinnamon stick, star anise, soy sauce and stock in a large pan and bring to the boil. Turn down heat, add the steak slices and cook for 30 seconds until the meat is tender. Skim any fat off the top of the pan, and add the noodles.
Then ladle into individual bowls and serve garnished with the mint, chilli, spring onion, beansprouts and coriander and a squeeze of lime.0 -
For summer, gazpacho: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/gazpacho-recipe/index.html
Delicious stuff, and make sure to leave it sit a good while and soak up the flavor.
Chilled borscht, another good summertime choice: http://localfoods.about.com/od/spring/r/ChilledBeetSoup.htm
And hot borscht, of course. It's delicious. There's a few recipes floating around for good beef borscht. I seem to have misplaced the link for mine. It's on a card at home I get it at a local deli here in the Lehigh Valley.
Also...Butternut squash soup

You can modify and use 1 tablespoon butter on a non-stick skillet. I don't recommend using margarine. Very helpful to have an immersion blender for this one.0 -

Mmmm pho. This looks good.0 -
I usually make the old favourite of mixed veg ............. sometimes adding some chicken bits for a different flavour but I have now fallen in love with a soup that I made by accident. I was having what I call a "fridge clear-out" the day before a big shop.
I found half a red pepper, a quarter of green pepper and three or four mushrooms that in normal circumstances I would have tipped in the bin. I chopped all these up with a little onion and a few rings of leek. Next I added a squashy tomato only fit for cooking with. You can use whatever you have to hand (left-overs etc) but the red pepper is the base of the soup that gives it the special taste.
I dry fried all ingredients in a non-stick fry pan til onions were golden and peppers were soft then transferred to a large pot. Added a couple of pints of water and a veg stock cube ....added the usual salt and pepper to taste but also added a generous amount of paprika powder. Boil and simmer for an hour or so, blitz with a hand blender til smooth ............... yummy.
For those of you watching sodium/salt etc leave out the stock cube and go easy on the salt (maybe add some mixed herbs instead). I split into individual portions and freeze until I need it.
Low on calories, high in vitamins and easy on the pocket. I haven't bought a can/packet of soup for 20 years. Making your own is sooooo simple and you know what has gone into it. Frozen portions are defrosted and heated in minutes so convenient as well for those tied up with work/familes etc
