Lipton Cup of soup
I've found that the Lipton Cup of soup (50 calories only) really holds me
over from when I get home from work until dinner time. Today, looking at the ingredients, I noticed just how many preservatives are in there. Is there any healthy alternative soup packet where you just add boiling water and drink? |

Is there any healthy alternative soup packet where you just add boiling water and drink? how about a piece of cheese and a cup of tea? I can't think of any soup (especially powdered) that isn't filled with sodium and preservatives. You could make your own stock and keep that on hand to heat up. Or find something more natural and healthy. |

Well, it isn't soup but I bet soup isn't all that healthy because of the high sodium. There is oatmeal. I buy it in the large size at Walmart for 1.83 for about 30 servings, which is really inexpensive. Then I add Splenda to it. The instant oatmeal in packets will cook by just adding boiling water, stirring and waiting a couple of minutes to eat, and I'm sure since it is whole grain and low in fat, it is also good for you. It is filling too. If you like it sweet the way I do, you can add 6 Splenda packets to a 1/2 cup dry oatmeal serving, then use some no sugar syrup like Smuckers on top for a real treat. I usually eat 2 serving of this a day. Porridge, they call it in Canada and the UK, but it is rolled oats in the USA. I just hate it when they add a bunch of salt, sugar and other stuff to perfectly good food. Without the salt and preservatives, the soup sounds pretty good. I may even try it. 50 cal ain't bad esp if it is filled with noodles. If it is mostly broth (water), it's not so good. Oh ya, another idea is those Quaker rice cakes at 35 cal each. If you add a little sugar-free jam to the top or cinnamon it only adds about 5 cal. They are also whole grain brown rice so would be good for you too. Again I would want to eat at least 2 of them. If you put peanut butter on them like some people do, they aren't diet food anymore though. dkw |

Premake yourself a large pot of broth with seasonings of your choice. Add some noodles, whole wheat if you wish, even some frozen veggies. Freeze them in individual serving sized containers. Very easy, and you have total control over what goes in to it. |

I find tomato juice quite filling and it's low cal and healthy. I seem to be devouring a cheese sandwich though! |

This may be a little more involved than you are looking for, or beyond your cooking skills, but I promise it is a lot easier than it sounds, and once you try it you won't go back to the Lipton crap: make homemade veggie soup. This basic recipe works great with spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, OR leeks & (canned) artichokes... list is probably endless. - Chop up one of the veggie above (no need to chop the spinach) or use frozen prechopped veggie - Chop up an onion too (or buy prechopped frozen onion) - Chop up some garlic (or buy jarred chopped garlic and use that) - Heat up a TB or two of olive oil in a soup pot - Saute the garlic and onion for a few minutes until the onions are soft - Add the veggie and saute a few minutes more - Add a carton of store-bought chicken broth (4 cups) - Bring to boil - Turn down the heat, simmer for about 30 minutes until the veggie is soft (less for spinach... maybe just 5-10 min). - Take a stick blender and puree the whole thing. Keep the batch in the fridge and then every day just pour out a bowl or a cup, heat it up for a minute, or drink it cold. Great low-cal way to get fiber and antioxidants. jen |
