    I love these soups because they're quick to make and can be frozen:

    (I use chicken broth, minus heavy cream)

    Reminds me of grad school. Used to buy canned tuna on sale by the crate. Ate it with white rice. (Low-end weightlifters diet...)

    I really like the Pogresso Light Italian-Style Meatball soup. 160 calories per can, fills up a big soup bowl. Delicious!

    progresso light soups, when I don't have time to cook. Anywhere from 140-200 cals for the whole can. 2 servings! old fashioned oats, cooked with water (less than the box calls for - don't like them soggy!) with cinnamon and sweetened with no calorie sweetener - 150 cals. Shirataki noodles with light alfredo sauce or melted laughing cow cheese - under 100. My Fav: homemade roasted butternut squash soup that's really creamy without use of milk, lots of spices - 200cals.
