Tomato basil soup an all time favorite is an easy to cook dish. Low fat milk and light cream cheese keep it healthy. Tomatoes serve as an excellent source of vitamin A and C, two nutrients important for good health. Tomato soup has one major nutritional disadvantage — its sodium content. Sodium increase your blood pressure, and regularly consuming a diet high in sodium leads to sustained high blood pressure, which in turn damages your kidneys, heart and blood vessels. When possible, select lower-sodium tomato soup — it contains 82 milligrams of sodium, or 5 percent of the daily limit, per serving.

This dish is as exotic as its name suggests. Also called Mexican tortilla meatball soup it’s mainly popular in the American continent.

Risoni which looks like large grains of rice is actually a type of pasta. It’s also known as risi (which is Italian for rice) or pasta a riso, and is sometimes referred to as orzo, although this tends to be slightly larger. Like most dried pasta, risoni is made from a mixture of durum flour, semolina and water, which is kneaded into a dough before being rolled flat and shaped. The result is a creamy coloured, oval-shaped pasta with distinctive pointed ends.

4. Garden minestrone

An adaptation of the classic Italian minestra, this recipe is full of late-summer produce: tomatoes, squash, fresh spinach, corn, and carrots. In cooler months, use peeled acorn squash and Swiss chard in place of squash and spinach. We love this soup for its practicality, since it’s convenient for lunch or a simple dinner (just serve it with a tossed green salad and some crusty bread)

3. Morrocan sweet potato, carrot and chickpea soup
