Excited to dive into the heartwarming world of soups with you today! I've curated a collection of nutrient-packed soup recipes that are not only easy on the palate but also loaded with health benefits. Soup can be full of vegetables and low-calorie broths. Let us know what soups we are missing!

Vegetable Beef Soup, 229 calories, 21 g protein
Vegetable soup is a staple of winter. We’ve found a higher protein version of your favorite vegetable soup. This recipe includes green beans, tomatoes, celery, carrots, and celery. All the better – this soup only needs one pot. Easy clean up!

Buffalo Chicken Soup, 331 calories, 29 g protein
We can’t get enough of Trader Joe’s buffalo chicken dip, so we found a warm soup to substitute for the winter. This soup can be made on a stovetop, a crockpot, or an instant pot. With 4 servings per recipe, try this for your next Sunday meal prep.

Pumpkin Chicken Chili, 197 calories, 26 g protein
Sometimes we forget about pumpkin after November, but this recipe didn’t! After some vegetable chopping, toss everything in a crockpot and serve 6 hours later. This recipe is great to serve over rice for some added calories.

Chicken Tortilla Soup, 339 calories, 27 g protein

You can dress up this chicken tortilla soup all you want. Think of it like taco night, but the base is a soup! You’re going to get loads of fiber with the vegetables and beans in this soup. You could even bring it as a dip to a party with whole wheat tortilla chips!

White Chicken Chili, 372 calorie, 34 g protein

Let’s put a spin on an original chili. This white chicken chili cuts down some fat and salt from the traditional. Pick up a rotisserie chicken and some canned beans and you are halfway there. Try freezing a batch for the last bits of winter weather when you don’t want to leave the house!
