Extremely healthy, good tasting, filling soup recipes?
I am open to as many recipes that I could eat as a diet type food for breakfast and lunch. High in protein. I love all veggies, meats and tofu!

I don't use a recipe per say, but once a week I take whatever leftover fresh veggies I have *carrots, onions, peppers, celery, tomato, squash, etc* and use them for soup.
I clean and cut the veggies and put them in a large soup pot. Once done, I fill the pot with water *just under the veggies are covered in water*. Then I add a can of beans *navy, black bean, garbanzo, fava, whatever kind you like*, about 10 bouillon cubes *chicken flavor is my fave* and ketchup. Once the soup boils, I cover it, set the heat to medium high and let cook about 2 hours. Very low calorie and filling because of all the veggies
I do this occasionally as clensing/diet for a week: I take a couple - up to seven types - of any vegetable (usually mostly tubers, pumpkins, unripe fruits etc) with which I stock my fridge normally, cut them into small pieces, plus garlic and onion, pepper, a bit of curry powder and salt, water to cover, 5 mins in a steam pressure cooker, then through a food processor (but not a blender!) and you have a fantastic creamy vegetable puree soup... for added taste: add crushed garlic, ground pepper, nutmeg, vinegar and chillies. When the diet is over I still make the soup but use either vegetable or meat stock instead of plain water, and also add cheese or cream, and an egg before serving! The nice thing about this soup: it never tastes the same depending on the variety of vegetables you have at hand...
the extremely healthy part, or secret if you wish: you must use a pressure cooker, which conserves the vegetables' vitamins. If you cook your veggies to death during two hours there is not much left in terms of vitamins! Also, don't use a blender, which would destroy the fibers, you can use a metal colander and process your soup through it with a large spoon. It gives the soup a uniform look and even children won't complain!
I love soup too.
I usually just do a veggie soup based on chicken broth.
I purchase a rotisserie chicken and shred all the chicken. I save the bones and make a broth with the bones. I take the bones out and set the broth to the side.
I get saute an onion, a shallot, & celery. Once they are translucent and soft I add carrots, potatoes, a jar of tomatoes, an assortment of canned beans (kidney, garbanzo and cannelini) including some of the bean liquid, and the broth. I add more water if necessary. I let it all cook together for a couple of hours. Once it's at a nice consistency I spoon a bowl out over some of the shredded chicken.
Of course use salt & pepper to tast and whatever herbs you like.

Low-Fat Broccoli Soup
One 3/4-cup serving equals 112 calories
INGREDIENTS
1 cup chopped fresh or frozen broccoli
1/4 cup chopped onion

well, pick up some good squash soup from the store and add either some basil, lime juice, or red pepper flakes. this is extremely simple, very low in fat depending on which type of soup you buy, and extremely delish!
