I need a good low fat veggie soup recipe, that is not the cabbage one?

I love soups and I don't eat meat or chicken, and everytime I look up veggie soups I get this cabbage soup one..I need something different.I need a good low fat veggie soup recipe, that is not the cabbage one?
Potato, carrots.zucchini,pumpkin,onion and garlic. Boil them in some veggie stock until tender. Add salt, pepper and mixed herbs. Blend to make a thick creamy soup. If you like it spicy, substitute the mixed herbs for 1 tbs of curry powder.I need a good low fat veggie soup recipe, that is not the cabbage one?
Chop up any veggies you like and simmer them for an hour or so on low in veggie stock and a little Mrs Dash. I like carrots, zucchini, and onion. I also add some orzo about 10 minutes before I serve the soup. The amount of veggies you add will determine how thick your soup is. You can make it any consistency you want. A little nonfat plain yogurt stirred in at the end will make it creamy.





Good luck!
really any veggie soup you make is low cal,,,, if it is broth based it is not fattening,,,,
someone gave you a recipe with ';lowfat chees whiz';, that cracked me up.....
Vegetable Soup


2 T butter or oil


1/2 onion


Lots of water


Any kind of vegies you want diced or chopped


Seasonings





In a big pot, saute the onions in the butter or oil till brown. Add water to halfway fill the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Boil for about 10 minutes. Add your vegies and more water to fill the pot. You can also add a little rice, barley, noodles or potatoes if you want. Add some parsley, basil, sage or whatever spices you like. Cook over medium for about 20 minutes or until the vegies are tender.. If the soup is not thick enough, add some cornstarch and water, or flour and water to thicken it up and cook a few minutes longer. Cool and eat!

I've given you a link below to some vegetable soups although some of them have beef or chicken in them...just ignore those. The website is Nestle's that owns Carnation so the cream soups use evaporated milk...you can substitute regular milk if you want.





Another thought is Potato or Baked Potato Soup. My recipes are elsewhere right now, but any that call for ham or bacon will be fine without the meat.
