Very easy & inexpensive. Quick to prepare, will serve up to 6+ dependent on portion size for meal. I have ¼ batch over 4 days with a homemade mini burger bun made from my favourites. You can use coconut milk instead of single cream or any other you like but this will effect the calories & nutrition.

I am lactose intolerant & started making my own soups in August ,2014 with a Swan soup maker & food processor for help. I am not a professional cook I just learn as I go along. I started on a calorie controlled diet in January 2014 & lost 55lb with exercise as well. I have under active thyroid & meds which make me gain weight rapidly but these soups help fill me from lunch to tea time.

I just roughly estimated without exact Measurements, for future reference

Fresh celery is of course delicious, but stir-fried and simmered celery is also tasty. This soup with beaten egg reminds me of my school lunch and makes me nostalgic.I prefer chicken consomme to normal consomme. Adding beaten egg makes "Kakitama-jiru" soup (soup with beaten egg), and it's also delicious. Recipe by uronn

Another delicious soup that's different. This soup is packed full of healthy stuff. No preservatives or added salt just pure goodness. This soup is yummy and I saved 4 bowls for the fridge 1 for each day. But servings can be smaller for more people as a starter.

Just been away & tried butternut squash but it wasn't a soup it was puree, bit bland but ok. Always up for making new soups so tried this, own recipe & its lovely. A tad on sweet side though so can change sweet potatoes for normal & it should still be nice.

I wanted to use fresh celery leaves straight from the stem.Use whatever vegetables you have in your kitchen. It's nice with tomatoes, mushrooms or beans. Make sure you simmer everything with the macaroni to get the nice, mellow fragrance. For 4-5 servings. Recipe by Hoink

Came upon a different recipes for celery soup and just spinned it into my own. I make this abot once a week. Its cheap and easy to make. Tastes great!!!!

I was selected to become a product tester for a brand of vegetable juice that contains 20 vegetables. I used three of those - celery, carrot and mitsuba - to make the celery soup that we've been enjoying in our house for about 15 years.Use 1 large or 2 small soup stock cubes.Don't cook the soup for too long after adding the celery, in order to fully enjoy its flavor.You could use the celery leaves instead of the mitsuba. For 4 servings. Recipe by Cha-miru

Trying Courgettes/zuchinni for the 1st time. Always as always trying new soups. This is amazingly different & extremely healthy in many many ways & cheap. Plus a bonus of 48 calories, YES 48 CALORIES per serving. What more can you want?? A sort of sweet ish soup with a twist!...I named it as in DARE YOU TO TRY IT.

Bought 2 large cauliflowers as usually you throw away half but these were very fresh so I used most of the 2 saving some for Saturday & Sundays roast dinner. Made cauliflower soup before but in soup maker & wasn't as thick n creamy..you can spice this up as much or as little as you like. I'm not keen on spices so this is just right for me. Please read all steps before making as there is 3 lots of water in 3 steps...see step 5 (•ิ_•ิ)

Another yummy low calorie soup I had this with mini quiche & cheese stick after a gym session., yummy and just enough to keep you going.
