Squash soup can be pretty good, too. They are really cheap here, anyway. Bit of a mission to chop them up but then add some curry powder (from an indian store if you can) and then natural yoghurt and cilantro to serve.
Adding chick peas gives it some protein. Boiling water on some chick peas and let them soak for 4 hours or overnight... Then add the pumpkin and some water... Add some curry powder and keep tasting it / seeing how the flavor develops...
Of course it is even better with coconut milk / cream... But that isn't so fabulous for weight loss... Chick peas contain calories too, of course. But the protein they add helps make up for it...
I had this so much I'm over it right now. Have been mostly doing chickens (dried italian herbs and paprika) and water / stock. Or beef stew with potato, carrot, sweet potato / kumara then peas and some cornflower to thicken. It is all starting to... Taste the same, though. Keen for new ideas.
I love soups!
