You can make soup from almost anything!
I often put leftover cooked veggies and meat into my food processor and make it into a puree (sometimes take some out while it is in larger pieces to add in at the end) then add some cream and heat it up.
I usually add a lump of butter before serving it with a few slices of microwaved flax bread. Sometimes I cube the bread and fry it in garlic butter to make croutons.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

I like to take canned chicken broth (or your own homemade if you have any) and as it's heating up I'll add a small bit of chopped onion, chopped fresh ginger (or just slice it and fish the slices out later) and chopped garlic. While that is simmering I'll prepare my veggies.
I'll use any combination of celery, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, cabbage...whatever is in the fridge really..all fresh. I'll toss them in with a splash of soy sauce and a few drops of sesame oil and let them cook till tender.
I'll add in leftover cooked chicken, or I'll poach the chicken seperately, strain the broth, chop the chicken and add them into the soup as well.

I make soup often. I'll make a big pot of either beef or chicken broth and either just use the stock as soup with the meat cut up or add more veggies. My favourite though is stracciatella (sp?). I beat an egg with a couple of tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese and some freshly ground pepper, then stir it into the simmering broth. That and a salad is a delicous and filling lunch.

just look at your veggie list and your protein list and let your imagination go wild.
Chilie soup
pumpkin soup
chicken or beef vegie
cream of brocolli, tomato, or cauliflower
onion soup without the bread
roasted pepper or just pepper pot soup
zuchinni soup
gumbo without the roux
ratatoulie with out the noodles and beans
those are just a few I had on my inductionby the book atkinseer
