The weather has definitely been getting colder in Cleveland, which means that I’ve not only been baking up a storm, but B and I have also been in the kitchen more to cook. Baked ziti? Homemade sauce? Spaghetti squash? Homemade pasta with home baked bread? You name it – if I can turn the oven on, I’m happy.
Still, what about those days when all you want is a hearty helping of soup and crusty bread? Lately I’ve been just frequenting the Souper Market – but I plan to attempt to make at least one soup on my own as the days get cooler. Here are some of the soups I’m dying to cook:
Slow Cooker Taco Stew (from Mommy Hates Cooking)
Fall Harvest Stew (from The Daily Balance – another Clevelander!)
Tuscan Chicken Sausage, Kale and Vegetable Soup (from me!)
Spicy Pumpkin Soup (from My Recipes)
Buffalo Chicken Soup (from Bake Your Day)
Chicken Tortilla Soup (from The Pioneer Woman)
AND for those days that I don’t feel like turning on the crockpot or waiting for some soup to cook?
I “indulge” in the best light soup: I recently got to try some of Progresso’s new light creamy soups! I was sent the Chicken Pot Pie and Creamy Potato with Bacon & Cheese. The best part about the soups? They’re 100 calories per serving.
So if you’re me – you have two 100 calorie lunches to play around with (I usually also bring a side salad or a sandwich on an English muffin to round out the meal) – or if you’re B, you have one 200 calorie (yes, he eats the whole can) soup on your hand. The other cool thing? I was sent this really cute gift set – it included two cans of soups, a gift bag, a water bottle and a soup mug (yes, I ate mine out of my mug)!
I definitely recommend you check these soups out if you’re looking for something creamy, but light, to enjoy this winter or fall. Do they taste exactly like the originals and non-light soups? No … but I still really enjoyed them!

Chicken pot pie would be the way to go.
Love your round-up of soups, especially as we have dedicated Sunday as soup day around here! — getting to the end of my own soup list of favorites, and need to introduce other interesting ones soon!
thanks for listing these recipes
my sis has had the chicken pot pie soup and really likes it
