Store bought - I'm a Chicken Noodle girl. For homemade I can do a pretty awesome Potato Leek Chowder.

Chinese Hot and Sour from the Noodle Express here in town. I can live on it.

Although I seem to eat alot of it, I don't really liked prepared/can soup. Just too much salt.

I do love a good tomato soup (with a grilled cheese sandwich thank you), chicken and wild rice, butternut squash and apples (great for Thanksgiving) , split pea and all time favorite mushroom (not Campbell's cream of but a good home made mushroom soup - YUM).

I generally like any homemade soup.

oohhh I love split pea (especially homemade) but the sodium is way up there. Actually, except for tomato, all the soups I likeare probably way over the 300cal mark....

My favorites are Progresso Lentil and Imagine's Butternut Squash

I don't use canned soup either. What I do is make a big pot of soup and then freeze it in individual serving size containers. With some yogurt or cottage cheese, I usually have lunch for many days to come.

My favorite soup has a red lentil base:

• 1 onion chopped
• a little bit of oil for cooking the onion...
• 1 pound split red lentils (usually purchased at Whole Foods, also easily found at Wild Oats, never in the "regular" grocery store because I've never seen them there...)
• 7 to 8 cups water / vegetable stock
• spices to taste - I usually use some cumin, dried chili peppers, garlic
• 1 pound tofu, cut into cubes

And then I throw in whatever vegetables that interest me that day. My choice of vegetables often includes carrots, edamame, corn, celery, sometimes potatos or sweet potatos. Oh, and I use a lot of vegetables. As in, I could easily add 2 to 3 cups of the corn & edamame...

Red lentils cook really fast, so this isn't an all-day cooking kind of soup.

I make my own quick version of Chicken and Rice using canned low sodium chicken broth, you can throw in whatever veggies you fancy, rotissierie chicken and cooked rice.

I also have a pretty quick to put together recipe for Turkey Tortilla soup that substitute Rotissierie chicken into.
