On another thread someone said they like soup for a filling low calorie meal and it reminded me that I do really enjoy making a big batch of soup for the week. I often make some variety of black bean soup which is extremely satiating. I’ve also made red lentil soup/dal. Any others that ideally don’t take hours of prep? |
Anything with lentils or canned beans will be quick. I like a white bean and kale soup, carrots/chickpeas/tahini, the Washington post corn and coconut soup with chili crisp (use reduced-fat coconut milk; it still tastes great), and sweet potato/peanut butter soup.
. I also love this soup but not the dumplings...I don't make them and just serve it with corn bread. I use the chipotle field roast sausage instead of andouille https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2021/03/31/collard-greens-soup-recipe-cornmeal-dumplings/ |
I love this one.

This one is easy to make and very healthy as well as filling:

Borscht (use canned or vacuum packed beets for speed)
Matzo ball Curried cauliflower Tomato veggie with tortellini Miso broth with silken tofu and green onions Broccoli cheddar (use frozen broccoli) Turkey and split peas Mushroom barley One of my very simple faves is to simmer chicken broth with frozen chopped spinach (and orzo or rice if you want). Drop in an egg and stir. Then add a little lemon juice. |
OP here- these are good! Thanks guys! |
Broth - use miso ginger ready made or add ginger scallion garlic to chicken broth
Bok choy, mushroom, spring onion Mini wontons Rotisserie chicken if you want or stir in an egg for egg drop soup vibe But basically a wonton veggie soup in broth Top with scallions, chili oil |
Haleem - make mine with chicken, barley, wheat. |
I love different variations of a chicken tortilla soup. Chicken, broth, taco seasoning and lots of Mexican seasonings, corn, black beans, onion, tomatoes, jalapeños. I even add 1/2 cup of shredded cheese at the end and avocado for garnish. |
I don't know how so many of you can eat beans. While I love them, they don't love me. Gas, bloating, stomach pain. I'm a little jealous. |
We’ve been using Broth Bombs to make a big batch of soup/stew on Sundays. Super easy recipes and we’ve liked what we’ve tried so far. |
I'm a daily soup for dinner eater when trying to lose weight. My favorites are:
Lentil and potato https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/user/300100/recipe/potato-and-lentil-soup Scotch broth https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/scotchbroth_8116 Tortellini vegetable https://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/tortellini-and-vegetable-soup.html |
You start with a little. And eat some every other day to get your body used to them. |
Can anyone recommend good bought soups that taste homemade? |
Keep some miso paste around for a quick soup when you didn’t get around to a week-sized batch too! |
