Homemade Soups!

i have recently begun making my own soups. they are SO low in sodium, calories, carbs etc and are VERY filling AND sooo simple to make.

here is what i have been eating for lunch the last couple of days:

-tomato basil soup: tomatoes, onions, celery, carrots, garlic, peppers. sweat out the veg in a tiny bit of veg oil, then cover with stock and hand blend with fresh herbs!

-mixed veg soup: tomato, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, broccoli.sweat out the veg in a tiny bit of veg oil, then cover with stock and hand blend with fresh herbs!

I remove some stock before blending if I want a thicker soup. Its so delish!!

I bet its got barely 100 cals per entire pot of soup.

I eat with a few rice crackers dipped in, or a tbsp of light sour cream.

Next I am going to make beet soup! MMMM.

106 calories for a two bowl serving! A great base to expand from with a variety of herbs and other veges.

Soup is one of my favorite things and I don't care how hot it is. There is no season for soup!

Thanks for your recipe. Don't forget to put it in the CC recipe form so the rest of us can find it easily!
