Soup question

[Nan1109 0]

I've never been a Soup eater, but last week I had bronchitis and it's really all I wanted. I ate a lot of Progresso low sodium light chicken and veggies. I still have a cough and find I'm craving soup. My question is, if I eat it, do I eat it as my meal? I was eating 1/2 cup at a time. Do I count it as a meal, or as liquid? Thanx!

I always count Soup of any kind as my meal-especially is there is a meat involved with veggies. But if you are using a no calorie broth just to sip on thru the day, I would say that would be liqiud.

MEAL! But, if you are going to count it as a meal, I'd buy a more substantial soup... The light Soup is SUPER low cal, and as much as we ALL like Low-Cal, we still need our nutrition!

I cook fresh produce-broccoli, cauliflower, squash, etc. with some college inn broth and then blend it. For added taste you can add garlic or onion. Sprinkled with parmesan cheese, it is wonderful, and oh so healthy. Reheats easily in microwave and is very filling. no two Soups come out the same. I now have a pot of spinach, garlic and squash simmering. Enjoy.
