Southwest Soup Recipes

This is a really filling soup that's easy to make. Each serving is a hearty 2 cups!

A wonderful low-carb taco soup with a kick! Perfect on a cold day! My husband who is not dieting crumbles tortilla chips over the top.

i make my own chicken stock but you could use low fat/low sodium broth in place of the homemade stock

This was a throw together at the last minute soup idea for lunch. Very satisfying!

A feeling warm soup for a really cold day.

This is one of my favorite recipes. The original calls for canned corn and canned black beans. I substituted frozen corn and pre-cooked dried black beans to reduce the sodium. If you want a vegetarian option I would suggest adding some brown rice instead of chicken to give you the rice/beans complete protein combo.

I created this soup after having enjoying a "Thai Sweet Potato Soup" at a vegan restaurant. I thought, "Hey why not give it a bit of a smokey mexican inspired twist." I always use frozen veggies over can and no-salt-added stock and canned tomatoes to cut way back on the sodium. You could garnish with cheddar or tex-mex cheese, and/or sour cream and sliced green onions - but it's "creamy" and flavourful enough as is.
