4. Creamy Chickpea Soup

This chickpea soup ticks all the boxes: It's low in sodium, free of cholesterol and a great source of protein and fiber.

Although this soup only takes about 20 minutes to prepare (and will serve the whole family), it does require that you use both your blender and the stove, so you may need to spend some extra time cleaning up.

5. Pizza Soup

Pizza doesn't have to be special-occasion-only, especially with this low-carb pizza soup recipe. This soup combines all the standard pizza ingredients but you can swap the pepperoni and salami for chicken or turkey if you want a leaner protein.

Although this recipe suggests you use a Vitamix blender, any high-speed blender will get the job done.

7. Healthy Slow Cooker and Blender Chicken Potato Soup

For this recipe, you'll need a blender and a slow cooker. But despite the (somewhat) tedious clean-up process, the end result is worth it.

A whole meal in a bowl, this soup is loaded with hearty ingredients, including chicken breast, russet potatoes, carrots and celery. Plus, this one starts in a slow cooker and takes about 8 hours total, so you can prep it at the start of your day and enjoy a warm bowl for dinner.

8. Black Bean Soup

Black beans are rich in protein (about 15 grams per cup, according to the USDA), so throwing them into a soup is a simple way to add heartiness to your bowl.

While this recipe calls for chicken broth, you can substitute it with some standard veggie broth if you want to keep your meal plant-based.

9. Lentil Soup

Lentil soup is an easy way to hit your protein goals on a meatless Monday (or if you're following a vegetarian diet). This recipe is completely vegetarian and only takes about an hour of total prep time.

This Mediterranean-inspired recipe makes about four servings and can be stored in an air-tight container for up to a whole week. Or, if you want to meal prep for the future, you can store bowls in the freezer for up to about 30 days.
