Frog Princess... I hope your poor throat is better now! AnnieClaus gave perfect suggestions for soup!
Last night... I made Mushroom Soup. I started with two frozen packages of Tabickek Kosher Soup... from the frozen food section. Their sale price is 2 for 3.... and each package has two VERY LOW CALORIE servings. I added some dried mushrooms... which i had soaked in hot watEr (and put that water into the soup, too). I added canned mushrooms. (And... don't scream... threw in pieces of the roasted seaweed... which has like zero calories... and adds a salty taste... even though the sodium count is incredibly low).
Dh felt the soup wasn't hearty enough. (Although he ate the first bowl and sait it was tasty.) I QUICKLY MICROWAVED A WHOLE POTATO (WITH SKIN) AND MASHED IT UP.... AND POURED ANOTHER BOWL OF HOT SOUP OVER THE POTATO. THIS TIME... DH FELT IT WAS HEART ENOUGH... AND GOOD.
I almost always make vegetarian soup... because I don't eat enough vegetables.
And... often I use a purchased frozen soup as a base.... because I only have a few minutes... to get a hot bowl of soup on the table.
