    Is soup not a meal?

    Exactly what I was going to say...

    Although I must admit I have the Glorious skinny soup (munching on a butternut squash one right now) but I have the whole pot. I find that way I don't snack much in the afternoon.

    What is "skinny" soup? Can you provide any brand names or recipes :-)

    In the winter I ate soup a lot. When I was eating soup on a regular I dropped the most weight the fastest, 30 pounds in 3 months. I didn't stick with that because I had was strict on everything I ate. I've kept the weight off but have more flexibility in what I eat now. But to answer the OP question. I eat soup and chili as a meal all the time and it is filling, curbs my appetite and is my comfort food for sure.

    Hale and Hearty soups are all over NY and they are so good. Definitely a meal.

    I joined the site this week. I made a vegetable soup this week, pretty much all veg and fat free chicken broth and herbs etc, and it is very tasty. I have been eating a bowl of it for lunch along with a sandwich made with a slice of low fat swiss cheese, thin slice low sodium ham, and smear of hummus, Getting protein, a lot of vegetable with the soup, and using a whole wheat small pita bread from "best Pita" - 80 Cal. I don't think just soup would work for me, I would get hungry and start eating something else to over compensate.

    I usually make a large pot of my homemade tomato bisque about once a month. Super low sodium, super low calorie, very hearty and satisfying. Only about 97 calories per 1 cup serving. I eat 2 servings and my appetite and taste buds are completely satisfied, don't feel the need to add a side dish.
