Hey guys

Do you have any recipe ideas, or quick soup packages suggestions that are low in calorie I should try?

I want lower cals in my diet, to finish off my last 10kg, and something that will keep me full.

    I love campbell's moroccan chickpea soup! It's only 150 calories, delicious & hearty, and keeps me full. :)

    Also, Continental's dutch curry and rice soup is becoming one of my faves! 150 calories as well. Hits the spot when I'm craving something more

    country ladle butternut pumpkin! also the cup of soup things you can get are quite good and low in calories, check the contents though they can be packed with crap and full of sodium.

    I love soup!

    http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/20149/roast+tomato+and+basil+soup

    This is my go-to soup, its really easy and quick and good for freezing, if you make it into 4 serves its 169 calories a serve and a really good base for putting chicken or veges or beans or anything into it :)

    Or this one http://www.exclusivelyfood.com.au/2007/07/chicken-and-vegetable-soup.html, 227 calories a serve. I pretty much just rotate between these two :)

    Vegan black bean soup always feels me up and its hearty! When you are done cooking blend a cup of the soup to make it creamy...yum

    OOOH - lentil and mushroom soup! Blardy tasty!

    Boil 160 grams of lentils in water (no salt) until tender.

    Finely chop one red onion. Lightly saute in about a tsp of olive oil. Add zest of one lemon and chilli flakes to taste.

    Once it's gone all soft and yummy, add 300g roughly chopped mushrooms and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Cook for five minutes, stirring frequently.

    Add a tin of chopped tomatoes, a litre of vege stock and the cooked lentils. Bring it to the boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. It'll go a bit thicker and luscious. Add a healthy coupla handfuls of baby spinach, stir and serve.

    Phwoar. I don't even like lentils and I love this soup! Could eat it every day.
