I happen to know that I am in the company of a heck of lot of soup fiends. Crafters (and avid readers alike) love soup; each spoon is delish, it requires only one hand operation, and as long as you know where your mouth is, nil concentration is required to feed oneself. But isn't it a hoooge bonus when said soup is also low fat! Pretty darn magic if you ask me.
What are your fave soupy recipes? I'd love to see :)

Here is some tried & test filling, low fat soupy goodness.
Here's a foodie conversion calculator thingy.
Brazilian Prawn Soup - very flavoursome so requires no stock cube. Can be made more filling by adding brown rice and you can up the chili if you're a spice-head like me.
Spiced carrot and lentil soup - quick, warming, and yummy lunchtime special. V nice with nat yog or sour cream.
Bacon Bean & Cabbage - so savory and it's a meal in a bowl. I prefer to use smoked bacon.
Hot & Sour Soup - I have made this so many times! If I'm having a meat free day I'll pile in loads of quorn, tofu, mushrooms, egg drop, bamboo shoots etc.
Moroccan chickpea Soup - beanfeast filling soup. I like to add kidney beans and chilli flakes as well. It's best to have to house to yourself after this soup - parppitty-parp!
Chicken noodle soup - I can eat this til the cows/chickens/pigs/farmer etc. comes home. You can substitute the chicken for prawns, tofu, or quorn. A dash of sesame oil/and or toasted sesame seeds works a treat.
Wild mushroom, bacon & barley soup. More a stew than a soup YUM!!! Parmesan cheese melted on top is wunnerful, but if watching the cals you should give the cheese a miss :(
Veggie chilli - another one that is more a stew than a soup, but in my book, if it's in a bowl and you don't have to cut anything; it's a soup. Ace with a blob of sour cream, I also add harrisa to mine as well.
