Thanks Wendy. I like these soups because you can control the amount of
carbs, fats, and salt in them.

I particularly like

Mexican Chicken Soup

1 lb (usually less) Boneless/skinless chicken thighs
2 stalks of celery - thinly sliced
1 large carrot - thinly sliced
1 medium onion - finely chopped
1 to 2 14 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
2 to 5 14 oz cans chicken broth (or homemade stock)
1 teaspoon dried thyme + 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
1package (usually a cup or less of whole wheat) egg noodles, cooked
1 serrano pepper, finely diced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
juice from 2-3 limes

I use "Kitchen Basics" no salt added broth (650mg NaCl/L).

I have the best B.P. that money can buy at 115/65 on average.

We never had salt on the table, but now I have to watch for it in broth,
tomato sauce, pickles, pepperocini. As a result, most of our meals are
made from scratch.

I guess my grail in my quest for a soup would be something like a
minestrone (beans & pasta adjustable), but so far I haven't found one I
really like.

Thanks again for the outline of the soup.
