I love leftovers. I often make a pot of chili and eat it through the week (the dog gets her share). Vegetable soup with beef, beef stew, chicken noodle soup, stuffed pepper soup, cabbage soup. I love SOUP! Any suggestions for high protein, good carb soup ideas? Nothing with mushrooms! I use lots of ground round/sirloin. I want it to last a week. Please help get me out of my rut!!!

Progresso white potato and clam soup (I strain it so far), thinned with chicken bouillon + unflavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder.

i love black bean soup! i cook it with a piece of ham, and then puree it. yummy!

I like to use lentils. Mix with beef or chicken and just whatever veggies I feel like tossing in the pot. The fiber really keeps me full and sometimes I puree and sometimes I leave whole.

I make black bean chili, my favorite. I am not a lentil liker, any suggestions what I could replace them with? Thank you!!!

I like the chicken tortilla soup which is panera brand and you can buy in the grocery store.

There are many variations of chili. It a main staple for me. I have it on to about 160 for a 2/3 cup serving. Very filling.

You can make a pot of white chili? Shredded chicken ( I use rotisserie to save time) White beans, roasted green chile and onions....

I like my soups homemade so I can control the sodium. I don't care for any variation of chili as mine is really tasty

And I make it on average at least once a month to last a week. To it I add a slice of pepper jack cheese and parm.

I'm thinking of making Pasta E Fagulle, a copycat of Olive Garden.

I make a lot of bean based soups because I'm vegetarian. I also made a really tasty, but not so pretty dreamed spinach soup. I used veg stock (either my own or low sodium Amy's), a container or premade Orgain organic protein drink (vanilla flavor). I pureed a can of low sodium whit beans with 2 cups of spinach and some roasted garlic. Mix it all together, salt & pepper to taste, a dash of cumin. If you want I you could add some chicken, but I don't eat chicken I added some shredded blanched spinach for garnish.

Make home made Soup. You will at least have fresh vegetables and control the sodium and all the unnecessary chemicals and additives. I usually boil 2 or 3 kind of zucchini with tomatillo (green looking tomatoes), and one small carrot in a chicken broth then mash it all up in a puree and add tofu for Protein. If you do not like tofu, just add unflavored protein, salt and pepper to taste and may be some lemon if you can tolerate it. Nutritious and yummy.

I cook all my meals and I feel that you can make a soup out of anything, just be creative, lentils (all kind and colors), Beans and vegetable. I do not eat meat and enjoy my Soups almost on daily basis.

Good luck!

My favorites: skinless chicken cooked with a can of swanson chicken broth and Water with celery, onions, carrots, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. I used to include egg noodles... No more.

The other I love is large dried limas, covered in water with chicken broth and chopped onion added. (Salt and pepper to taste.) You can add some lean ham to it. Cook till the Beans are tender. Takes hours. This is better the second day! My Nut says this is a great Protein recipe. These are great for the crock pot.

Thanks for all your great suggestions! I really love the Pasta e fagulle recipe. That's one of my favorites at Olive Garden!

I don't each much meat, so I cook a lot of beans and lentils.

Tips for cooking beans and lentils, soak them with a teaspoon of baking soda then wash them before cooking, it will cut your cooking time for the bean.

Also, to avoid some of the gas that comes with eating beans, boil them quickly then throw away that first water, wash them and then add them to any recipe that you want.

Hope this helps.
