    This is really close to my base soup recipe I make every week.

    1 qt container unsalted veg stock
    carrots,
    celery,
    onion,
    garlic,
    1/2 C barley or brown rice
    1 can or frozen container beans
    ----
    Any of the following that I happen to have. I use all of my leftover veggies in this soup:

    kale
    spinach
    bell peppers
    chard
    asparagus
    peas
    beans
    zucchini
    mushrooms
    cauliflower (really!)
    ---
    If I use mushrooms I typically don't add a can of crushed tomatoes, if I don't, then I add it in.

    Season with a bunch of Italian seasonings, basil, oregano, and fresh cracked black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook till the veggies are tender and the flavors blend (about 1 hour on the stovetop).

    This lasts us about 3 days and averages out to 180 cals per serving normally when I enter it into the database. It's also really economical since I use up all the veggies that would otherwise go to waste.
