    I made something last night that came out pretty good. Its somewhat reminiscent of Italian Wedding Soup. I don't measure stuff when making soups, but this is roughly what I used.

    1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
    1 Tbsp. Chopped Onion
    1/2 Tbsp. Chopped Garlic
    1 lb. Ground Sweet Italian Sausage
    1 Can of Garbanzo Beans (drained)
    4 Cups Chicken Broth
    Salt & Pepper (and other herbs, if you like)
    1 Cup Spinach

    1. Put olive oil in pot, then add the chopped garlic and chopped onion and cook until onions are soft.
    2. Add the ground sweet italian sausage to the pot. Cook until done. Make sure to stir it so that it crumbles.
    3. Add the drained garbonzo beans and the chicken broth.
    4. Add salt & pepper, plus whatever other herbs that you like (I added thyme and parsley). Let everything simmer for at least 5 minutes.
    5. Turn off the heat and add the spinach.

    Taco Soup

    one can each (or fresh after boiling):

    yellow hominy
    white hominy
    red beans
    black beans
    pinto beans
    diced tomatoes
    diced green chilies
    diced onion
    diced green pepper
    diced celery

    about 1 lb of ground beef, turkey, or veggie crumbles (depending on your diet of choice)

    taco seasoning to taste

    I put it in the crockpot in the morning and eat when the smell in the house is so mouth-watering that I can't stand it anymore. LOL

    Here's another one. I probably got the title of it wrong, but the ingredients are correct from what i remember.

    Ingredients
    1 bag frozen mixed vegetables
    1 lb lean ground beef
    1 yellow onion, chopped
    1 can diced tomato, no salt added
    2 cups chicken broth, reduced sodium
    ground black pepper
    table salt
    cayenne pepper, to taste
    garlic powder
    Steps
    sautee onions to being soft. brown ground beef to being 90% cooked.
    once the beef and onions are to desired consistency, add tomatoes and seasonings to liking.
    when those are starting to boil, add the frozen veggies. ( The veggies will add some liquid to the soup, so don't add more broth than will create the consistency you want)
    allow to simmer for 15 minutes under done to desired tasting.
    Notes
    There are ingredients missing, but I am doing what I remember.

    Here is a soup recipe I found under the MFP BLOG tab. There are always good recipes there if you want to check it out.

    Easy White Bean & Spinach Soup
    Ingredients
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 3 small leek bulbs, outer layers removed, chopped
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
    • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • 1 (28-ounce) can low-sodium diced tomatoes (certified gluten-free if necessary)
    • 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (certified gluten-free if necessary)
    • 10 ounces fresh baby spinach
    • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (certified gluten-free if necessary)

    Directions
    1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
    2.In a Dutch oven or large oven-safe pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the leek, onion, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
    3.Add the tomatoes (plus juices), beans, spinach and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the spinach has wilted, 25 to 30 minutes.
    (I took mine out of the oven after 25 minutes and gave it a good stir, and then placed it back in the oven for 5 more minutes).
    4. Stir in the other 1/2 teaspoon of salt and enjoy!

    Here's another recipe from the Blog:

    Fish and Shrimp Chowder

    Ingredients

    1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
    3 ribs celery, chopped
    2 garlic cloves, chopped
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups (473g) lactose-free 2% milk
    1 1/2 cups (355ml) low-sodium chicken broth
    1 large (12 ounce/340g) russet potato

    Directions

    Put the oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, 5 minutes. Add the flour and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 minute.

    Add the milk and broth. Shred the potato on the large holes of a box grater until you have 1 cup (140g), dice the remaining potato, and add them to the pot along with the bay leaf. Cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently and making sure the soup doesn’t scorch on the bottom of the pan, until the grated potatoes are fall-apart tender, about 25 minutes.

    Add the fish, shrimp and corn and cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until the seafood is cooked through, 10 minutes. Add the dill and lemon juice. Season with the salt and pepper and serve.

    THREE SISTERS BUTTERNUT SQUASH CHILI RECIPE - 8 serving
    https://www.aspicyperspective.com/three-sisters-butternut-squash-chili/

    Slow Cooker Instructions also included below

    5 cloves, Garlic
    28 fluid ounce, crushed Fire Roasted Tomatoes
    3.00 cup, Vegetable Broth
    13.50 ounce can, Chopped Green Chiles
    1 tbsp(s), Ground Cumin
    1 tsp oregano, dried
    1 bay leaf
    0.50 cup, Cilantro
    0.25 tsp, Salt and Pepper
    1-1/4 cup, Corn
    2 container (1 4/5 cup (130g) ea.), Black Beans (15 Oz. Can) (recipe calls for 3 but I use 2)
    2 tbsp, Butter
    1 large, Onion
    1.50 medium, Green bell pepper (recipe calls for 2 poblano peppers but I am using green bell pepper)
    3 lb(s), Japanese Pumpkin (I am substituting Kobacha squash but recipe calls for butternut)

    Instructions

    Prep and chop all the produce. Cut the butternut squash in half, then peel with a vegetable peeler. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard. Chop into even 1/2 inch cubes.

    Set a large 7-8 quart saucepot over medium heat. Add the onions, chopped poblano peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minute to soften.

    Add in the cubed butternut squash, rinsed beans, tomatoes, broth, green chiles in juices, frozen corn, and all spices. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, but save the cilantro for later.
    Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then uncover and simmer another 5 minutes to thicken. Once the squash is fork-tender, remove the bay leaf. Taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the cilantro and serve.

    Notes
    Slow Cooker Instructions: Yes, you can make this in a crockpot! Sauté the onions, poblano peppers, and garlic on the stovetop. Then dump the veggies into a large 6+ quart slow cooker and add all remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on high for 2-4 hours, or on low for 5-7 hours.

    Meatball Soup

    1 beaten egg white
    1/2 c soft bread crumbs
    1/4 c finely chopped onion
    1/8 tsp garlic powder
    1/8 tsp black pepper
    8 oz lean ground beef
    2 14 oz cans reduced sodium beef broth
    1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs, drained
    1 15 oz can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
    1 c sliced fresh mushrooms
    1/2 c water
    1/2 c dried small bow tie pasta
    3 c torn fresh spinach or 1/2 of a 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

    Combine egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic powder, and pepper. Add meat and shape into small meatballs. Cook meatballs and set aside. Stir together broth, undrained tomatoes, garbanzo beans, mushrooms, and water. Bring to boiling and add pasta. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 10-12 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir in meatballs and spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fresh spinach wilts, or frozen spinach is heated through.

    Notes:
    I omit the mushrooms because I don't like them and I use frozen spinach. You can also use any shape of pasta. I have used ditalini, bow ties, cavatelli, and even small shells. I also use the whole egg, and usually add salt to the meatballs (although the recipe doesn't call for it). You could use frozen meatballs, but it's not as good that way. I cook my meatballs in the oven, but you can cook them in a skillet if you prefer (it's a little quicker that way).

    Recipe yields about 7 cups of soup and takes about 35-45 minutes from start to finish.

    I love this low carb rendition of Toscana Soup:

    1 pound italian (or regular, your choice) sausage
    1 bunch Kale
    1 onion chopped
    1 package frozen riced cauliflower

    fry up the sausage, when almost done, drain, put back on heat and add onions.
    keep cooking until sausage looks done.
    tear up the Kale into small pieces and toss in the pot
    add the riced cauliflower
    add water to suit- the less water, the thicker it is. I put in about 8 cups or so.
    Bring it up to a boil, then turn it down and simmer for a couple of hours.
    season as desired with salt and pepper.

    for a yummy addition, sprinkle some parmesan cheese on each bowl when serving.
