The time of year has arrived.
Gone are the skinny salads and cool dinners replaced by warm comforting soups and mega carbs.
I am trying to be ok with that as soup keeps me going in the cold winter months.
And thankfully Apple loves soup as much as I do.
I do have a few recipes that are waistline friendly, but if any of you have a favourite soup that is delicious and low in the calorie count please pass it along. I promise to make it at least once to try out (unless it is Pumpkin Soup, I have tried that once and something about eating pie for lunch just didn’t work for me).
Thank you, my waistline will thank you more.

I looooove soup! Soup weather won’t be here for another month or more, though. 🙂 I know I’ve posted a couple of soup recipes on my site, let’s see…
Rainy days call for soup
garlic cheese bread and vegetable beef soup
vegetablicious: a soup recipe
I love SOUP too. When I’m cold there is nothing like it and it’s usually what I go on search of at school. I live your soup with the beans and the sausage Could I have that reciepe? Please?
I have two I like to make a beef barely soup my mom used to make and a butternut squash soup…that I’m the only one that eats…MORE FOR ME!
When I was a kid I hated soup, never ate the stuff, not even plain tomato. Then about ten years ago, I had some homemade lentil soup at my mom’s and was suddenly a completely convert. Now we have soup and homemade biscuits (that’s the fatty part!) once a week for dinner.
My favourites are: lentil; mixed bean and spagattini (super fast); squash and apple (this one is a crockpotter), leek and potato (I have a good crockpot recipe, but the store-bought kind — Imagine Organics in a tetra pack, buy it in the organic food area is just as good), and zucchini. I already have three more to try this winter — alphabet, chickpea, and chicken tortilla.
Let me know if any of these sound good to you, and I’ll email the recipes.
I am not big on soup but if I do make it I stick to simple. Chicken broth and veggies with a can of cream of celery and cumin mixed in. It’s quick, easy and pretty healthy…I think 😉
Hi, just checked in to see how your trip was……..glad to hear that you all had a great time. Cool weather brings Chicken Pot Pie to our house. Here is a recipe that makes it a bit lower in calories and fat and even a bigger bonus the kids ask for it!!

This apple butternut squash soup is one of my favourites in the whole world – not bad and I usually use light cream so it is not *that* unhealthy . . . you could probably leave it out if you wanted and it wouldn’t affect the taste much. I am making lots of soup this week . . . must be all the rain!
I don’t have a recipe, but wanted to say I love your picture!
