Soup recipes - really low cal ones please

Just put whatever vegetables you have on hand in a pot with some water and seasonings and let it cook until all the vegetables are tender. Add beans, lentils or chia seeds for extra fiber.

I make a really basic soup with vegetable stock (I use store-bought most times, but homemade is worth it if you have the time), diced onion, cubed potatoes, sliced carrots, sliced celery, maybe a little garlic, and a can or two of stewed tomatoes. I literally just throw it all together in a stockpot on the stove and simmer for 45 minutes, or put it all in the pressure cooker on low pressure for 10 minutes.

Sometimes I throw in a can of beans right at the end (otherwise they get too soft), and a few times I've flaked raw salmon and added it right in my bowl (the heat from the soup cooks it immediately).

You can play around with this to lower the calories (reduce or omit the potatoes; swap carrots for cabbage) or add more nutrients (a leafy green like spinach wilted in would be terrific) or even increase the calories (sprinkle in some fresh Parmesan, drizzle in a nice olive oil). It's perfect every time!

Onion, celery, garlic, cabbage, carrots, chicken, lime, cilantro, salt & pepper to taste, water. Low calorie soup.

Chop up a load of pumpkin and/or butternut squash, some carrot and onion, chillies if you like them (or any combination of those ingredients or other veggies) throw in some garlic. Roast, add stock and blend. If you want more protein / aren't a vegetarian, add some shredded chicken breast and some Tabasco sauce and it is so good and filling and pretty low calorie as it's just veggies and chicken breast...

Egg drop soup is simple, fast, and gives you some protein which I've found soups can often lack. When I'm feeling lazy, I just boil 1-2 tbsps vegetarian oyster sauce, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, and the white part of a scallion in water; then I slowly pour in a beaten egg while stirring the soup so it makes ribbons. You can add leafy greens after the egg's cooked and then I top with the green ends of the scallion! You can also add different things to make it more complicated or give it different flavorings, but the simple version is ~130 kcal.

I'm also a fan of just tossing whatever veggies you have in a pot, but my secret to make it flavorful is to add a tbsp of tomato paste. I often saute carrots, onions, celery, zucchini and garlic together (you can really add whatever veggies you want) and then add them to broth and drop the tomato paste in - it's delicious with various spices and parmesan cheese on top makes it even better!

I changed up the recipe and added some parsnips and celery but left out the broccoli, carrots, cabbage, green beans and spinach because there wasn't enough room in the pot. I also added a Parmesan rind and took it out after the soup was done simmering. When I calculated the calories, every 4 grams is about 1 calorie.

You can also freeze your soup in a freezer bag. After pouring the soup in the bag, put it on cookie sheets and then in the freezer. This will make the bags flat and easier to store.
