Check out the zero points veggies and use whichever you like. Soup is easy. Put all the veggies in a large pan, add either water or stock for more flavour, cook everything til soft then whizz up to the consitency you like. a hand blender is especially good for this and you can usually freeze the results! I have a very old points recipe for zero tomato soup and zero veg chilli. you'd need to check them against new guidelines but I'll post them if you want. X

No Point soup suggestions

Brocolli, cauliflower (and I don't usually like cauliflower) and brussel sprouts, few stock cubes, curry powder, boil, blend.

Butternut squash with carrot (or red pepper - carrot makes it thicker) and ginger, chillies (not too many!) garlic and stock cubes, boul, blend.

They're my two favourites, though the first one I call 'swamp soup' as that's what it looks like!
