A can of tomato soup with some onions and mushrooms chopped in is very nice. Sometimes I make rice and add it.

A can of pumpkin mash plus a can of chicken broth makes a nice low calorie, high fiber soup. Some people add apple juice and pumpkin pie spices. Pumpkin mash plus canned coconut milk plus some sugar and pumpkin pie spices is also a very nice soup, but not low calorie anymore.

I'm just making a tomato soup - onion, tomato, red pepper, a bagful of tomatoes (from the supermarket - living in a flat in London I can't grow my own), and they are cooking down gently in some olive oil. When cooked, will put through blender and add some veggie stock.

What I like in my soups is noodles, often home-made - just whizz some flour (gram flour if you want gluten-free) with an egg or some olive oil and a little water, and push through a potato ricer straight into the soup, let simmer for a few minutes.

And those left-over peppers? Wrap in foil and cook in a hottish oven for about 30 minutes until they are all collapsed and lovely! Am planning to do that for the Husband's 60th tomorrow, as I know he adores them.
