Here are 16 ideas for healthy, tasty and season-approved
soup recipes:
1. Simple Pumpkin Soup>
It lives
up to its name in the prep department: bring broth, pumpkin puree, ground
ginger, curry powder and other yummy seasonings to a boil, simmer for a little,
stir in milk, simmer some more and done. With its rich pumpkin taste and creamy
texture, this no-fuss recipe is the perfect pick when you’re craving the
quintessential flavors of fall. For a version with a little extra kick,

squash and turnips—it’s in there. Carrots and kale—yup, those are in there,
too—providing all their vitamins and minerals. You’ll also find shredded
roasted chicken, tomato paste, red pepper flakes and tons of Italian seasoning.
But wait, there’s more: whole-wheat gnocchi adds an extra Italian flair to this
super healthy and hearty soup. Make this your flex lunch on a cool afternoon,
and count it as one SmartCarb, one PowerFuel, one Vegetable and two Extras.
3. Zesty Tomato Soup >
With a
few cans of diced tomatoes, a few cups of veggie broth, onions and garlic, you
can whip up a big pot of this all-time favorite to enjoy throughout the week or
freeze and save for a busy day. Almond milk thickens up this soup, bay leaves
enhance the flavor, and chopped basil on top serves as a tasty (and
oh-so-pretty) garnish.
4. 5-Ingredient Chicken “Noodle” Soup>
The
“noodle” is actually spaghetti squash, cooked and scraped into pasta-like
strands to save on carbs. Low-sodium broth helps cut salt. Chicken adds
protein, carrots boost nutrients, and fresh thyme brings more flavor. Five
simple ingredients make for the perfect side of soup to any Nutrisystem meal.

mushrooms, kale and a can of diced tomatoes mesh beautifully with the savory
vegetarian sausage, shitake mushrooms, red bell peppers and pinch of parmesan
to create a flavorful spin on a rice and vegetable dish. Need to grab the Nutrisystem MushroomRisotto entrée? Grab it here! >
