Cookbook creator says: We loved this one! I added bok choy and would do that again. This has become our favorite soup! I used Costco's precooked bacon, way less fat and calories (and sodium) than regular bacon but still get the flavour, I used 'no salt added' broth and low sodium stewed tomatoes also.

very yummy and high fiber! Figured to be large portions.

Cookbook creator says: Just OK.

Creamy, somewhat spicy, wonderfully thick cauliflower soup, enhanced with just enough ricotta to make it delicious. The sodium reading in the nutritional content is absurdly high and likely wrong. It will depend on what broth you use.

This is the perfect soup for a cold day. Low fat with lots of flavor!

This is an adaptation of my favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe. If you have the calories to spare, make some tortilla chips in the oven to eat with the soup and top with a bit of sour cream, cheese, avocado and anything else you like! It is very flavorful on it's own, though. Be sure to use high-quality enchilada sauce, as some brands can be greasy. I like to add other veggies in sometimes, such as carrots and squash.

This is a staple in our house during cold weather. I adapted this from a local resteraunt.

A low fat alternative to French Onion. Add Parmesan cheese when serving. (not counted in nutritional info.) Add salt to your taste if desired.

This soups works well with most vegetables from the garden-- experiment and use vegetables that are in season. Chef Meg was inspired to create this meal after a trip to the farmers market. Be creative and use whatever vegetables you have on hand!

Cookbook creator says: This was OK, quite a bit of prep and a little bland

Submitted by CHEF_MEG

Easy to make, and you probably have all the ingredients on hand already.
My mom use to make this in our family restaurant; it always sold out quickly!

This tortilla soup tastes better than anything you can get at a restaurant. And it's healthy too! Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you. All you do is dump everything into the slow cooker and walk away.

Great for cold nights! This "stew" will warm you up from the inside out!

It's a beach wedding because of the pasta shells.

I've always had a taste bud defect of only liking creamy soups. Thankfully, fat free half & half adds creaminess just as well as heavy cream.

Cookbook creator says: think I'll try adding cauliflower instead of potato when I try this one.

Cookbook creator says: really good. I added fresh garlic, sauteed it in 1 tsp sesame oil, then tossed in cabbage and followed directions. Peeled peppers before adding and used LCow light instead of blue cheese.

I use to make this all the time, never had a recipe so I'm going from memory and making a few changes to reduce calories and sodium. Fast and easy soup for a cold day.

It is a good low calorie yet hearty fall soup

I got this recipe from my father-in-law. I have no idea where he got it from but we like it and it is easy to make. For the calculations I used 'A Taste of Thai' , light coconut milk.

This is a hearty soup that is great for the whole gang! The easiest soup you will ever make!

You can adjust any of the ingredients to suit your taste or to use leftovers from the fridge.

May not sound appetising but it is a rich and strongly flavoured tomato soup, invented for a man with a cold (manflu) so it has medicinal properties and a high nutritional value :)
