Amy's Organic Chunky Tomato Bisque
PER SERVING (1 cup): 130 calories, 3.5g fat, 680mg sodium, 21g carbs, 3g fiber, 14g sugars, 3g protein
This soup wins the prize for most versatile in the HG kitchen. It's slightly sweet, a little creamy, and filled with tons of tomato chunks! We love to use it as a tomato-sauce swap for pizzas and pasta. It's also delicious poured over veggies or chicken. It's even perfect plain, served alongside a guilt-free grilled cheese sandwich. Check out the light in sodium version, too!

PER SERVING (1 cup): 130 calories, 1g fat, 590mg sodium, 23g carbs, 1g fiber, 2g sugars, 6g protein
This stuff ROCKS! Tastes just like Grandma's. And the next time you're craving some matzo ball soup, no need to head to the deli; just open up a jar of the reduced-sodium version from this company -- that has 120 calories and 4.5g fat per serving. Mmmmmm! These soups are all certified kosher, too.
Annie Chun's All Natural Asian Cuisine Udon Soup Bowl
PER SERVING (1/2 bowl): 110 calories, 0.5g fat, 460mg sodium, 22g carbs, 1g fiber, 1g sugars, 3g protein
This is the perfect lunch when you're in a hurry. Just heat in the microwave for 90 seconds, and get busy with your utensils! We're totally impressed with the little bits of tofu, bok choy, and s---ake mushrooms. YUM. Have the whole bowl for 220 calories!

Kettle Cuisine Chicken Soup with Rice Noodles
PER SERVING (entire container): 140 calories, 3g fat, 540mg sodium, 15g carbs, 2g fiber, 1g sugars, 14g protein
Here's something different -- a soup that you'll find in the freezer aisle. But don't let that worry you. It tastes amazing, and it's totally gluten-free and guilt-free. Plus the serving size is for the entire container. Hooray!
Progresso Light New England Clam Chowder
PER SERVING (1 cup): 100 calories, 2.5g fat, 690mg sodium, 20g carbs, 4g fiber, 2g sugars, 3g protein
Think creamy, chunky clam chowder is off limits? No way! The pros at Progresso have a Light version -- only 100 calories and 2.5g fat per serving. Thank you!

Tabatchnick Cabbage Soup
PER SERVING (1 pouch): 90 calories, 1g fat, 160mg sodium, 21g carbs, 1g fiber, 11g sugars, 2g protein
All of Tabatchnick's frozen soups are great, but this one is a standout. It's an oldie but goodie. (We first featured this product in an email in 2004!) We love it because it tastes fresh and is slightly sweet. And not everyone makes a cabbage soup, so it's pretty unique find! But if cabbage is not your thing, skip it.
Campbell's V8 Garden Broccoli Soup
PER SERVING (1 cup): 90 calories, 2g fat, 480mg sodium, 15g carbs, 3g fiber, 6g sugars, 3g protein
Like a full serving of veggies in your soup? So do we! That's why we love the entire line of Campbell's V8 Soups. With no artificial flavors or preservatives, this is basically just delicious, creamy pureed veggies. Add some fat-free cheddar or a wedge of The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese, and you've got a totally guilt-free broc & cheese soup.
