Chicken Vegetable Soup by 4meAndyou

2 large onions, chopped
1 large partially frozen boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized cubes.
1/4 cup olive oil or more
1/4 cup cooking sherry or white wine

1 heaping tsp. garlic powder
1 10 oz package frozen mixed vegetables. (Green beans, corn, carrots, peas)
5 oz fresh mixed baby spinach and baby kale
1 heaping tsp Better than Bouillon chicken bouillon paste
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 quarts low sodium chicken broth
1 (15 oz) can reduced fat, low sodium, condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained
1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat rotini

In a large frying pan, place olive oil, and heat to medium high. Add chicken cubes and toss now and then. When they begin to brown, add chopped onions and saute chicken and onions together just until onions are golden.

In a large stock pot, pour chicken broth. Heat to just bubbling and add chicken bouillon paste, sea salt, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and condensed mushroom soup. Whisk if mushroom soup clumps a little. Add the rotini to the pot and boil, covered, for almost 10 minutes.

Then add frozen mixed veggies. Return just to the boil, then add the drained black beans. Dump contents of chicken and onion fry pan into the pot, then deglaze the frying pan using the cooking sherry or wine...scrape contents into the soup pot.

Return just to bubbling, and add drained black beans. Stir Well, then add baby spinach and kale last. When the spinach and kale mixture is limp and green, simmer the soup about 5 minutes more, and serve. Makes 8 servings.

The red pepper flakes give this a mild kick, so don't add the red pepper if you hate spicy food, and if you like your eyes to bug out from the heat, add twice the amount.

I'm Hungry But I'm So Damned Tired Dressed Up Macaroni by Xixgun
(wife can't do dairy and is trying to be gluten free, so feel free to modify this to suit you)

*1 LB gr beef
*1 package frozen 3 pepper & onion mix veggies (check the frozen veggie aisle, by the soup starter stuff)
*2 boxes of Mac & Cheese mix (organic, super healthy, dairy free, whatever)

-Cook the pasta
-At the same time, brown the ground beef with the peppers and onions mixed in. Add some fajita seasoning for a little extra kick.
-When pasta is done, drain and dump it in with the meat and peppers.
-NOW add the cheese packet/sauce/powder that came in the mac and cheese box.

Enjoy. Pairs well with a cold beer

That sounds like a very high calorie soup. I just made the same thing and it's only 110 calories per 2 cups of soup.

@melissa001 That's nice. How does yours taste? We would all like to see your low calorie recipe! 😊

@4meAndyou [image deleted] and added 2 cups of cubed chicken (cooked) , cook all together in a large pot for 25 minutes. If u don't like something, don't add it. 2 cups is about 110 calories.
