Fitness Magazine Giveaway
Before we get to the giveaway, first things first: I FRICKIN’ LOVE BODY PUMP!!!!! 
Ali and I met at Healthworks after work to take a Body Pump class together, and I must say, I had a fantastic time! Body Pump is the BEST workout!
Here’s why I love Body Pump so much:
To start, you can burn up to 600 calories in one class! Obviously, awesome. Body Pump has also changed my body! I’ve seen muscles that I never even knew I had! Our instructor (Tara B.) was super motivating and pushed us to work hard through the entire class. The music was totally rockin’– I especially loved the triceps track (“Thunderstruck” by ACDC)! And, as corny as it sounds, I loved seeing women lift HEAVY weights– none of that 3 lb. dumbbell stuff! I left class feeling strong and confident. It was GREAT! 
Besides Body Pump, I also love Scramble, a new app that I found on my iPhone. I’m kind of obsessed. Just saying.
I was STARVING when I got home from Body Pump, so I threw some leftover roasted beets, sweet potatoes, and a piece of Provolone cheese into half of a pita.
Viola! A fast, simple, and delicious dinner.
The Provolone was a yummy compliment to the roasted veggies.
Dessert was a zillion Oatmeal Cherry Raisin Spice cookies. Once I start, I can’t seem to stop!

I love butternut squash soup the way my boyfriend’s mom makes it for Thanksgiving! And I have a confession — my old favorite soup was New England Clam Chowder in a bread bowl from Pizzeria Uno. Feels good to get that off my chest.

my favorite soup would have to be split pea crock pot soup- its so easy to assemble, I flip it on, and when I come home from classes, it’s ready! it goes great with a crusty bread. i omit the ham, and it is fantastic!!!:) here is the recipe:
• 2 cups dry split peas
• 1 1/2 cups cooked ham, cubed**
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1 cup chopped celery with leaves
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 2 cups broth (I used chicken broth)
• 3 cups water
• salt to taste (after it is cooked)
**If omitting the ham, please use 4 cups of chicken broth and 1 cup of water.
Directions:
1) Layer ingredients in a crock pot starting from the top of the list, down. Do not mix.
2) Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or high for 4-6 hours. Serve with bread or crackers.

My favorite soup is my simple black bean soup- which reminds me…I haven’t made it in forever!!
Betsy — October 1, 2009 @ 8:06 pm
I love my moms home-made split pea soup! Ah, its delicious. She rarely ever makes it (as we do not normally have a hambone lying around, ha) but when she does make it, it’s such a treat!!
Body Pump sounds AWESOME. I’ll have to see if my gym catches on that trend. I would love to try a class!
Amy — October 1, 2009 @ 8:06 pm

I adore pumpkin soup. The taste, the smell, the texture all remind me of just how much I really love fall. It is also super easy to make, all you need is pumpkin, one onion, mushrooms, garlic, olive oil, and vegetable broth. Bake the pumpkin, cook other vegetables, and puree together!
Michelle — October 1, 2009 @ 8:11 pm
great soup recipe at gina’s weight watchers website – creamy cauliflower soup, it’s amazing and low cal, a great snack or a basic soup starter to add yummy add-ins like vegetables & cheese!

* One medium onion
* 1 potato
* 1/2 Golden Delicious Apple OR tsp of grated ginger and lemon zest
* 32 oz. vegetable stock
* Salt and black pepper
* Fresh thyme/fresh parsley

Put a tablespoon of oil in pan and add the onion, carrots, potato, apple OR ginger and lemon zest. Coat all in oil and add salt and pepper.
Let the vegetables sweat (put the lid on and keep on low heat for 15-20 minutes/ turning veggies every 5 minutes).
Don’t let the ingredients brown. Add vegetable stock and let the soup come to a boil again. Turn down to very low heat and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes. Then, turn off and let soup cool a little. Use ladle to put portions into blender and puree. Return to pot, bring to boil and season. Add chopped parsley.

Kathleen — October 1, 2009 @ 8:24 pm
I heart this amazing vegetarian Minestrone “stoup” that I make with so many veggies and so little broth that it looks more like stew than soup. I power it up with spinach, carrots, zucchini, onions, celery, Great Northern beans, tomatoes, veggie broth, tomato juice, spices, ww pasta shells, etc. for a great winter soup!
Julie — October 1, 2009 @ 8:24 pm
I love corn chowder!! My dad makes it home made, but my heart will always belong to the snow’s canned corn chowder. I would eat the whole can for lunch when I was little.

Mixed Bean Chili with Tofu (Courtesy of Cooking Light)
Ingredients
7 ounces firm tofu, drained and crumbled (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons hot chili powder or regular chili powder
1 teaspoon minced drained canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups water
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans
1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans
1 (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
Preparation
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add tofu and 3/4 teaspoon cumin; sauté 3 minutes. Stir in soy sauce; cook 1 minute or until liquid evaporates. Remove tofu mixture from pan.
Heat the oil in pan; add 3/4 teaspoon cumin, chopped onion, coriander, and oregano; sauté 4 minutes. Add tofu mixture, tomato paste, and next 5 ingredients (paste through garlic); stir well. Add water, beans, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Spoon chili into bowls; top each serving with cilantro and sour cream.
I love this recipe because it is quick, tasty, and it even got my dad to try tofu for this first time. My family loves it and requests it every winter.

I love roasted sweet corn soup! Delish : )
Suzanne — October 1, 2009 @ 8:42 pm
I love Body Pump, too! It actually may be my fav group exercise class right now! My favorite soup is still broccoli cheddar (Panera style in a bread bowl!)… SO GOOD… still trying to figure out a healthy alternative to this!
Miso soup comes in a close second!
Andrea — October 1, 2009 @ 8:43 pm
What an awesome giveaway! I wish my gym still offered Body Pump–I totally agree with what you said about the class! Soup is one of my favorite meals of all time! Butternut squash, black bean, lentil, and split pea are probably at the top for me. Delish!

Cassie — October 1, 2009 @ 8:45 pm
my absolute favorite soup has to be broccoli and cheese soup… it’s a shame it’s so heavy – i could eat it every day with a warm crusty hunk of bread. my grandpa’s french onion soup is a close second – his is the only french onion that i will eat!
Shawna — October 1, 2009 @ 8:45 pm
Corn chowder! If you swap out some of the heavy cream for non-fat milk and chicken stock, plus add tons of veggies, it’s a delicious, not-so-bad-for-you soup
Katherine — October 1, 2009 @ 8:45 pm
I love black bean soup!!
Jenn — October 1, 2009 @ 8:46 pm

Lentil soup. For sure. By far. I love lentil soup more than any other food in the world and I can eat it cold, hot, whatever. I think the best homemade kind is Barefoot Contessa’s but if you’re going to get it out, get it from a Greek place.
Suzanne — October 1, 2009 @ 8:52 pm

Marisa (Trim The Fat) — October 1, 2009 @ 8:57 pm
Awesome! My favorite soup is chicken barley.

Butternut Squash…so delish and perfect for Fall
Just bake up some Squash till tender
While it’s baking (about an hour)…saute some leeks and ginger in a little olive oil
Add the baked squash, about 4-5 cups veggie stock and bring to a boil…let it simmer for 20-30 minutes then blend it up with a hand blender or food processor…season with S&P to taste…so easy and SO good
kathy — October 1, 2009 @ 9:03 pm
I love making soup this time of year-and love making a chicken soup packed with veggies, usually make my own stock then for an easy way to add chicken use a rotiserrie from the store. I usually add canned whole tomatoes which I break up, escarole, and whatever other veggies look good. I love adding some of the frozen vegetables from TJ’s, and use their frozen basil cubes to add even more great flavor. Top with some parm cheese & you are all set!
glidingcalm — October 1, 2009 @ 9:04 pm

I love body pump as well. Been doing it/hooked on it since 2003. Love me some Les Mills classes!! Try RPM if you get the chance (Les mills version of spin class). Freaking awesome! Supposed calorie burn of 400-600 calories in ~45 minutes if you are cranking your resistance.
Just to warn you, 600 calories might be a bit of an overestimate for a BP class. Wear a heart rate monitor just to check it out…I only burn about 250 calories in a pump class and I use some fairly heavy weights. Although you do continue to burn calories well after the class because of your muscles. I always wondered if this is why the instructors tell you that you burn up to 600 calories in a body pump class.
barbara — October 1, 2009 @ 9:10 pm
My grandmas Matzo Ball soup…gotta keep it real.

It had a special name, but I just can’t think of it!!!

Butternut Apple w/ Cinnamon…oh lord, now I have to have some this week!
Julie @savvyeats — October 1, 2009 @ 9:51 pm

Also, I love your new picture at the top of the page!
Emily G — October 1, 2009 @ 9:51 pm
I seriously love ALLLL Soup…but I have to say the tried and true matzah ball soup (recipe passed down through the generations in my family) and…. healthy vegetarian minestrone! i just love the combination of beans and hearty veggies!
Laura — October 1, 2009 @ 9:51 pm
CHICKEN ESCAROLE!! That’s what it is! =]
Julie — October 1, 2009 @ 9:54 pm
I made a delicious Tuscan Tomato soup tonight! Just blend marinara sauce, roasted red pepers, garlic, olive oil, and white navy beans and heat over the stove! Delicious and it only took a few minutes
Stephanie — October 1, 2009 @ 9:54 pm
Veggie lentil chili!! wish i had the recipe, however its from our local grocery store… great giveaway!
Gina G — October 1, 2009 @ 9:54 pm
i love any kind of soup my mom makes, it has so many veggies and is soooooo good! i really wanna try butternut squash soup now though hah, thanks tina =)
Emily — October 1, 2009 @ 9:54 pm
Hi Tina! I’m always afraid to go to the Body Pump class at Health Works – it sounds so hard. I think you’ve inspired me though!
My favorite soup is my mom’s homemade navy bean – its so simple with carrots, onions, celery and of course navy beans, but she always makes a loaf of homemade everything bread to dip in it. Yum!
Kate G. — October 1, 2009 @ 9:55 pm
My favorite soup is my dad’s Green Chili Stew. It has hominy, tomatillos, carrots and it is comforting and healthy at the same time!
I would be more than happy to share the recipe with anyone that is interested!

Clam chowder all the way! Panera’s black bean soup is amazing too
BeccaC — October 1, 2009 @ 9:56 pm
Definitely New England Clam Chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. Not the healthiest, but so yummy!

My favorite soups of all time are Manhattan and New England Clam Chowders.
Hollye — October 1, 2009 @ 9:57 pm
I LOVE this minestrone that my mom makes! She gets the recipe base here, and adds whatever she has around the kitchen! http://www.ivu.org/recipes/italian/minestrone2-j.html
Lauren Rittermann — October 1, 2009 @ 10:00 pm
My absolute favorite soup is butternut squash soup. It’s creamy and satisfying. There is also a soup I love at TJ’s called Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup. That one comes in a close second for me.
Lauren — October 1, 2009 @ 10:01 pm
I love butternut squash soup! It’s my favorite especially during fall
I’ve never attempted to make it..but I’m searching for some recipes so I can try soon!

Alison — October 1, 2009 @ 10:09 pm
I love split pea soup!
Melissa — October 1, 2009 @ 10:09 pm
My favorite soup is the spicy thai coconut shrimp soup from Thai restaurants. OMG it’s so good! With cilantro and coconut and probably a million other crazy spices, which is why I’ve never attempted to make it myself!
Freddie — October 1, 2009 @ 10:09 pm

my favorite soup is probably good old tomato- I love Amy’s cream of tomato (creamy in a totally non-overbearing way) with a turkey sandwich or maybe some goldfish crackers. yum

In Dallas on business…I’m missing Healthworks! I love the fall. My favorite soup is a Maple Butternut Bisque. I sweet and spicy version that has also become my 13 year old daughter’s favorite too!
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) — October 1, 2009 @ 10:11 pm
Mmmm my fav soup has to be my grandma’s beef stew (stew counts, right??)… she makes it homemade with lots of thick gravy, potatoes, carrots… YUM. I wish I had some right now!
Felicia — October 1, 2009 @ 10:13 pm
I absolutely love, love Lobster Bisque! I used to look for it every time I went out to restaurants, but I’ve finally started to branch out. I’ll still get it every once in awhile though – it’s more of a treat that way.
Such a wonderful giveaway!
greenbean — October 1, 2009 @ 10:13 pm
favorite soup is….this is tough….my favorite is cream of potato. my grandmother used to make that and i would love to have a bowl any day.

simone — October 1, 2009 @ 10:17 pm
butternut squash soup absolutely. simple ingredients with plenty of cumin and a dollop of sour cream. plus a piece of hearty whole grain bread toasted with a drizzle of olive oil… oh man.
Jess — October 1, 2009 @ 10:18 pm
My favorite soup is tuscan bean soup! I just throw a can each of cannelloni beans and diced tomatoes together in a pot with some veggie broth and lots of veggies. So easy and so yummy!
Stacey — October 1, 2009 @ 10:19 pm
Hmmm. While nothing beats the combo of Old Fashioned Tomato Soup (especially from Au Bon Pain) with Grilled Cheese, my favorite soup is Egg and Lemon Soup, which is a Greek soup, also known as Avgo Lemono. In a nutshell, boil 6 cups of chicken broth. Add 3/4 c orzo. In a separate bowl combine 3 eggs + juice of 3 lemons. Whisk the egg & lemon combo briskly and consistently while slo-o-o-o-o-wly adding hot broth (not too quickly, or else the hot broth will cook the egg in such a way that it will scramble). Once you’ve added 4 or 5 ladels of hot broth to the egg & lemon combo, add it back to the broth + orzo. The addition of the orzo lends a creaminess to the soup without the added calories of milk or cream. Dee-lish!
Joan — October 1, 2009 @ 10:20 pm
i looooooooove lentil soup! yum!
Meredith — October 1, 2009 @ 10:20 pm
Carrot Ginger is my fav soup! I love that the color and flavor are both so autumn-y.
Kerry — October 1, 2009 @ 10:20 pm
It is so tough to narrow it down to just one favorite, but I’ve been really into lentils lately so I’ll go with Lentil and Balsamic Roasted Vegetable soup.
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans — October 1, 2009 @ 10:21 pm
My favorite fall soup is butternut squash, kidney beans, chick peas, tomatoes, quinoa, curry powder, cinnamon, and baby corn! Delicious!
Gingersnap — October 1, 2009 @ 10:21 pm
I love white chicken chili…my favorite cold weather dish
Joanna — October 1, 2009 @ 10:21 pm
I love pumpkin soup and lentil soup, but nothing beats my mom’s matzah ball soup!
Yasi — October 1, 2009 @ 10:22 pm
I LOVE a bunch of Persian soups my grandmother makes, but I don’t know the name of them! Plus I only get them like once a year. The staple soup I can eat anytime is black bean, I ABSOLUTELY love it!
Sara — October 1, 2009 @ 10:24 pm
My favorite (and newly-discovered) soup is Health Valley’s reduced-sodium Tomato Vegetable. As for homemade, I was once served a ginger-y (coriander?) carrot soup that was amazing! Still wish I had the recipe.
Megan — October 1, 2009 @ 10:24 pm
I have a cabbage soup recipe from Rachael Ray that is fantastic and so easy to make. My other favorite recipe is a kale/bean soup from Shape magazine. So excited that it’s soup weather!

I love pretty much ALL vegetable soups, but Panera’s vegetarian vegetable is delicious!!
Janna (Just Flourishing) — October 1, 2009 @ 10:29 pm
I’ve taken body pump before and my favourite thing about it is the tracks! Haha.
And that pita combo looks delish.
Hmm.. I’m not a US resident per se.. BUT I am visiting for a couple months and “residing” here… in a residence
Do I count?
If not, I’ll say my favorite soup anyway. Hmm.. wait that’s hard… can I say 2?
I have so many favorite soups… but 2 I REALLY like are Carrot Soup and Hot and Sour Soup.
It is definitely getting close to soup weather and I have soup on the menu for this weekend!
Amelia — October 1, 2009 @ 10:31 pm
My current favorite soup is the low-fat chicken noodle soup at Panera Bread. I ask for croutons on the side and add them in for some crunch. It never disappoints
I also love butternut squash and good ol’ Campbell’s low-sodium tomato soup mixed with milk.
Katy — October 1, 2009 @ 10:33 pm
Love tomato basil and butternut squash soup! So wonderful this time of year as the weather gets colder. Throw in some homemade croutons..delish and SUPER comforting!
Becca — October 1, 2009 @ 10:35 pm
My favorite soup is one I had when I was in Italy when I was young– a peasant bread and tomato soup. I can’t even remember what it’s called, but I remember that it changed my life!!
emily - eatventures — October 1, 2009 @ 10:36 pm
I just ate leftovers of my favorite soup for dinner!! It is Moo Shu Stoup, a Rachel Ray recipe with tons of yummy cabbage.

Lindsey @ Sound Eats — October 1, 2009 @ 10:50 pm
My overall favorite is probably lentil soup, but lately all I’ve been craving is a good cup of chili!
Amanda — October 1, 2009 @ 10:53 pm
My dad makes the BEST squash soup, which I have to get the recipe for! He has some secret ingredients, including granny smith apples, and purees it til it’s smooth!! AH delicious!
Ali — October 1, 2009 @ 10:54 pm
345..dang- In any case, my fave soup has got to be Pacific Foods brand Butternut Squash…or maybe its (shocker!) V8 Brand Broccoli! Yum, both are souper (lame I know- but I had too!) delicious especially on a chilly day!
Great giveaway Tina!
Teresa — October 1, 2009 @ 10:56 pm
My mom makes great Barley Soup! It’s really awesome, lots of veggies, ground turkey and barley.

I love butternut squash soup and it always makes me excited for fall to come. Yum!
Jess — October 1, 2009 @ 10:59 pm
I love my moms chicken noodle soup, she boils a whole chicken for hours, boils down the liquid to make a stock, cleans the meat off the chicken, then adds noodles, peas, carrots, onions and the meat back after skimming off the fat. It’s divine on a cold day!
Tiffany — October 1, 2009 @ 11:00 pm
I love any of my mom’s traditional Chinese homemade soups that need to cook for a whole day before it’s ready for dinner. Always so healthy, flavorful and yummy!
tangie — October 1, 2009 @ 11:01 pm

Emily — October 1, 2009 @ 11:02 pm
I love thick vegetarian stew-like soups. Some favorites are my boyfriend’s lentil soup (topped with a dollop of goat cheese) and New England Soup Factory Eggplant Parm soup.
I love lifting heavy weights in Body Pump.
Also, Tina nice to meet you at the Healthworks gathering – I’m working on setting up my new blog – I’ll send you the link when it’s ready!
Dorothy — October 1, 2009 @ 11:03 pm

Jen — October 1, 2009 @ 11:08 pm
can’t go wrong with a creamy tomato soup and grilled cheese. especially since fall is closing in on us!

Favorite soup…. potato cheese in a bread bowl no doubt
Love fall!
courtney — October 1, 2009 @ 11:09 pm
NOTHING beats my mom’s matzah ball soup! light and fluffy matzah balls, chicken soup, lots of root veggies. yum. but it’s a once a year deal…so the rest of the time, i stick to tomato soup or chili. chili is soo easy to make a big batch of and have it for delicious and healthy lunches all week! it’s a winter staple
LisaM — October 1, 2009 @ 11:09 pm
I love me some vegetarian chili with crumbled cornbread!
kristin point — October 1, 2009 @ 11:09 pm
my favorite soup is potato leek or lobster bisque but i did make a pretty bangin root veggie soup the other day…
i roasted parsnips (love em!) with red onion, garlic, SP, some thyme, rosemary, paprika possibly a dash here or there of other herbs haha. then blended with plain soymilk, quick, easy and delish topped with greek yogurt and scooped with TJ’s whole wheat pita chips!
Lauren Christine. — October 1, 2009 @ 11:14 pm
my favorite way to eat soup is to heat butternut squash soup with those fresh ravioli you find in the refrigerated section, green peas, SHARP cheddar cheese, and a TON of freshly grated black pepper. its AMAZING! i first tried it as a sample in Trader Joe’s, and i’ve been hooked ever since.
Janet — October 1, 2009 @ 11:16 pm
I love Scramble on Facebook! Now I really need to get an iPhone so I can play it anywhere.
Oh and I love lentil soup!
Marie — October 1, 2009 @ 11:16 pm
my favorite soup is my mother’s homemade chicken tortilla soup. no matter how many times I try to replicate the recipe, nothing will compare to her soup at home!
Katie R — October 1, 2009 @ 11:17 pm

Inna — October 1, 2009 @ 11:21 pm
My favorite soup is a recipe I found in shape magazine for curried sweet potato soup- absolutely delicious!
Allyson — October 1, 2009 @ 11:21 pm
I love pumpkin soup! I make it constantly; as soon as pumpkin season starts! The only problem is that I have to carry pumpkins home from the grocery store on my bike. Hazard! It’s totally worth it, though!
Kristine — October 1, 2009 @ 11:22 pm
Hmm does chili count?! YUMM!!
Hillary — October 1, 2009 @ 11:23 pm

Split pea with a great chunk of bread. Can’t beat it.
Karoline — October 1, 2009 @ 11:26 pm
One fall, I went to a cottage in Vermont on the lake with my family, and in the dining room (which was filled with stonework and fireplaces), they served the most amazing creamy tomato soup. My mom and I always wish we could either go back or re-create it!
Jennifer — October 1, 2009 @ 11:27 pm
Tina,
My new favorite soup would have to be curry butternut squash. You roast a squash and onion for about an hour. Add squash and onion to blender perhaps add a little cream and curry powder and blend. It is super yummy and fast!
Katie — October 1, 2009 @ 11:28 pm
This sounds great! My favorite is Black Bean Soup!
Samantha — October 1, 2009 @ 11:33 pm
My favorite soup is Maryland Crab soup. One of the best places to get in, in my opinion, is Obryki’s in Baltimore.
Lynn (The Actors Diet) — October 1, 2009 @ 11:33 pm
i’m a big fan of boxed soups – TJ’s and Imagine make good ones. I like to combine them with a crumbled Wheetabix for texture and eat that as a quick snack!!!
Samantha — October 1, 2009 @ 11:34 pm
I love the boxed soups from Campbells for a quick meal, but nothing beats my mom’s Minestrone soup!
Kaitlin Duffy — October 1, 2009 @ 11:37 pm

caronae — October 1, 2009 @ 11:50 pm
I have been on such a soup kick lately! I really like any kind of butternut squash soup, and I like to add cannellini beans and raisins. I know it sounds weird, but it’s a really good combination!

french onion soup with a huge hunk of bread is one of my fave comfort foods!
Beth — October 2, 2009 @ 12:01 am
I love vegan cheddar broccoli soup made with nutritional yeast flakes. I love adding in some red, green, and yellow peppers, to give it that southwestern feel. It’s such a good thing to cozy up with on a cold winter day.
Stacy Robinson — October 2, 2009 @ 12:01 am
I LOVE soup! My favorite is Leek soup

I love my dad’s butternut squash soup. It is really better than anything else out there!
Katie Davis — October 2, 2009 @ 12:26 am
I love love love french onion soup, especially the extra cheesy kind. There is something fun about spearing through the cheese and bread layer to get to the brothy onion layer and eating a huge bite of all of those together. It just feels so decadent and tastes delicious.!!
kristen k — October 2, 2009 @ 12:29 am
Woot woot I am loving all of these favorite soups

lisa — October 2, 2009 @ 1:11 am
i just made a super outstanding white chicken chili last night. i believe i said something to the effect of “i could eat this soup every day for the rest of my life and i’d still LOVE it.” yes, it was that good.
allie — October 2, 2009 @ 1:12 am
Not quite fall here (ever) but my fall favorites are roasted red pepper with cayenne or heirloom tomato with tabasco!
Rachael — October 2, 2009 @ 1:13 am
My absolute favourite soup is split pea. It was even one of my first words as a little kid – except it would come out “sit pee” hahaha
I loved it then, and I love it now
Amanda (modernation) — October 2, 2009 @ 1:15 am
I love carrot soup. I just boil carrots, garlic and onion in chicken broth with bay leaf and then when carrots are tender puree in blender or food processor. Add back to pot and reheat with a little olive oil. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and some sour cream or greek yogurt on top. Yum!
Anne K. — October 2, 2009 @ 1:30 am
My favorite soup is a good old-fashioned vegetable soup. I love using whatever veggies I have, and some beans, too. With a big can of diced tomatoes mixed in. So yummy!
Amber from Girl with the Red Hair — October 2, 2009 @ 1:42 am
Whewie – there are a lot of comments on here, but I might as well take a shot!
My favourite soup is, and always has been, Beef Barley Soup! LOVE IT!
Betherann — October 2, 2009 @ 1:43 am
Favorite soup, eh? I’d have to go with anything pumpkin-y! I also really enjoy New England Clam Chowder…without the clams. Weird, I know, but I can’t chew them, yet I like the soup’s taste.
Lisa — October 2, 2009 @ 1:47 am
Zucchini and kale soup for me! It’s an especially great soup for Springtime since it’s so lovely and green. Body pump sounds super amazing by the way! Even the name of it is great.
andrea — October 2, 2009 @ 1:48 am
Hmmm hard to pick just one, but I’ll go with my mom’s homemade lentil soup, yummy and healthy.
Mimi — October 2, 2009 @ 1:57 am
I love pumpkin curry soup. My Mom makes it and it’s phenomenal. Also, we take some of the apple butter we make from scratch after apple picking and put some on top of the soup. It may sound strange, but it’s delicious!!!
MareBare — October 2, 2009 @ 2:09 am
my favorite soup is tomato. I usually buy a lower sodium version and throw in some spinach, broccoli, and roasted tomatoes for extra goodness- then top it with a little parm and hot sauce
megan — October 2, 2009 @ 2:24 am
butternut squash! yum!
Rebecca — October 2, 2009 @ 2:25 am
I love a good bowl of black bean soup, but it’s hard to find it in a can without bacon or ham (although I think Amy’s makes a vegetarian one). It’s really great when it’s made with the right spices, cilantro is key! One of the heartiest, most comforting soups, and so filling.
Marissa — October 2, 2009 @ 2:35 am
Minestrone soup makes my heart swoon :]
Emma — October 2, 2009 @ 4:04 am
My favorite soup is definitely butternut squash soup – and its perfect for this time of year!
Donna — October 2, 2009 @ 4:18 am
My favorite soup recipe is Rachel Ray’s 3-bean veg head chilli. It is delicious and easy to make – you can find the recipe on foodnetwork.com. My husband even loves it!
Diana — October 2, 2009 @ 4:52 am
Aw it’s a shame it’s only open for US residents but it’s understandable.
That lunch looks really good btw.
Katie D. — October 2, 2009 @ 4:56 am
I love lentil soup – it’s so simple to make too! Lentils, chicken or veggie broth, some carrots, onions, garlic and voila! I’ll sometimes throw in some cumin and/or cayenne. Blend it up or leave it chunky.
Deb — October 2, 2009 @ 5:27 am
My favorite soup would be homemade vegetable soup!
Nicole of Raspberry Stethoscope — October 2, 2009 @ 5:33 am
Favorite soup is anything my mom makes!! She makes the best soups.
Victoria — October 2, 2009 @ 5:44 am
is chili considered a soup? cause that’s my favorite one to make. it’s never the same twice, sometimes I use beans I cooked in the crock pot, sometimes I use canned beans. sometimes I add corn. I always add a dollop of sour cream when serving it. It’s quick, easy; every time, I think I’ve made enough for leftovers, but somehow, my family always ends up polishing it off!
Susan — October 2, 2009 @ 6:01 am
I never thought I would say this, but my favorite is split pea soup!
Christina — October 2, 2009 @ 6:04 am
I think my favorite would have to be my mom’s corn chowder. Its totally unhealthy…but DELICIOUS!
Carrie — October 2, 2009 @ 6:06 am
My favorite is my husband’s chicken and wild rice soup. The first time he made it for our friends he told them about 100 times that this soup was “so sick!” Now, this is dubbed “Sick Soup.”
Debbie — October 2, 2009 @ 6:14 am
My favorite soup is Annie’s curried lentil. It is in a can but it is my go to dinner when I am burnt out and need some good food to keep me going.
Lauren — October 2, 2009 @ 6:25 am
I love butternut squash soup… especially if there are apple undertones included. I have yet to perfect my own recipe, but I’m going to try this fall/winter!
Amanda M — October 2, 2009 @ 6:35 am

tami — October 2, 2009 @ 6:37 am
Houlihan’s Famous Baked Potato Soup (Houlihan’s use to be in Fanuiel Hall in Boston)
5 cups potatoes, skin left on and diced into ½’ pieces
½ cup butter
2 cups yellow onions diced
¼ cup flour
5 cups warm water
¼ cup chicken base
1 cup potato flakes
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
Optional:
Shredded cheddar cheese
Cooked, crumbled bacon
Dave’s Note / variations:
If serving to people who are not fans of onions I puree the onions before adding them. I also use a Braun hand mixer to partially puree the soup when done since we like it more pureed than chunky.
Instructions:
Steam the potatoes over boiling water, covered for 20 minutes until easy to pierce with folk, set aside
In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Add the onions and sauté on low heat for 10 minutes until the onions are transparent (don’t allow the onions to brown) Add the flour and cook 4-5 minutes stirring well until the flour is absorbed
In a separate bowl combine the water, chicken base, potato flakes, salt, basil and Tabasco. Add to the onion mixture stirring constantly so no lumps form. Cook on high heat until the potato flakes dissolve. Add the milk and cream stirring until smooth and lightly thickened. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, do not boil.
Add the steamed potatoes and stir to combine. Heat through and serve. Serve with shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon if desired.
Kristie Lynn — October 2, 2009 @ 6:38 am
My favorite already-prepped soup is the cashew carrot ginger soup that Pacific brand makes. My old favorite soup recipe used to be a Lemon Chicken Orzo soup that I think I’ve got my hubby addicted to, but with a recent decision to become vegan I’m going to need to find something else
sirenjess — October 2, 2009 @ 6:50 am
My favorite soup is Caldo which is really simple it’s chicken with lots of vegetables. My mom makes the best Caldo.

I LOVE SOUP!!!! I probably eat it at least 4 times a week. I think my favorite soup is just plain tomato soup! I make a homemade tomato soup that is sooooo goood.
Jess — October 2, 2009 @ 7:17 am
Soup is one of the most comforting foods I know, probably because my mom always had a pot on the stove. I’d have to say my favorite is my grandmother’s Matzoh Ball soup with my Mom’s chicken noodle in tomato broth a very close second.
Lindsay — October 2, 2009 @ 7:24 am

Anything with greens in it or roasted butternut squash soup would have to be my fave!

rhodeygirl — October 2, 2009 @ 8:29 am
My favorite soup is the amazing vegan pumpkin soup that they have at a cafe down the street. You have to get there by 11 in order to get any because it sells out so quickly! It is so amazing and thick.
Lara — October 2, 2009 @ 8:30 am
My favorite soup is good old, old fashioned tomato soup…nothing like it on a cold winter day!

Rachel — October 2, 2009 @ 8:40 am
Just one favorite soup? I have many! For the classic, I love a good Chicken Noodle Soup. Need a little spice? Chicken Tortilla Soup. For ooey cheesey goodness – French Onion. I could go on, and on, and on – but, I won’t!
Cait — October 2, 2009 @ 8:41 am
Amy’s Lentil! So filling and delicious!

My favorite soup is Cocoa Coconut Chili from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan. Amazing!!
Amber — October 2, 2009 @ 8:44 am
I love taco soup! I don’t have a specific recipe. I just throw whatever I feel like at the time in a crockpot and let it simmer. Most of the time I use different kinds of beans(I really like black beans right now), tomato sauce, and corn. Then add taco seasoning…yum. I need to make some of that soon.
Kathryn — October 2, 2009 @ 8:44 am
My favorite is broccoli/cheddar soup. I like to make it myself. I use frozen broccoli, cook in the microwave, then add cheese, milk and spices, and blend it up! So good, and easy!
Sara — October 2, 2009 @ 8:44 am
Mmmmmm Broccoli Cheese Soup
jess — October 2, 2009 @ 8:44 am

My favorite soup is Butternut Squash Soup. Its so easy and filling. I just roast a butternut squash, garlic, and whatever other vegetables I choose (shallots, onion, celery) in the oven for about 45 minutes. Next, blend together with your broth of choice, and a thickening agent if you like (milk or cream) and you’ll have the perfect fall meal!
Alison — October 2, 2009 @ 8:49 am
My favorite soup that I started making last year is a lentil vegetable soup – full of lots of veggies & perfect on a cool fall day!
Holly S. — October 2, 2009 @ 8:49 am
Wow, great give away!! My favorites soup in restaurants is butternut squash soup…when I’m home I like Amy’s Lowfat Vegetable. I should try making my own from scratch though!

Haleigh — October 2, 2009 @ 8:51 am
My favorite soup is plain ol’ tomato soup.. it could do no wrong.
Lauren — October 2, 2009 @ 8:52 am
What an awesome giveaway! My favorite soup is definitely lentil. I started eating it pretty often when I became a vegetarian. I’m no longer a strict vegetarian, but I’ve retained my love of this soup.
Body Pump sounds super motivating and fun! One of my favorite classes at my gym is Body Sculpt, which integrates weights and cardio bursts. We also use heavier equipment, which, I agree, is very empowering!
Tina — October 2, 2009 @ 8:52 am
My favorite soup is definitely either butternut squash or pumpkin-black bean soup! Can’t wait to start eating them again!

Christa — October 2, 2009 @ 8:54 am
My favorite soup was this seafood chowder I had one time in Florida. It was a little sweet with tons of awesome seafood. Have never tasted anything like it since
emily — October 2, 2009 @ 8:55 am
Oh, I love almost every soup. Could I give you a top 5? No?
Alright, my favorite would have to be gumbo. But a real gumbo made by someone’s mother or parrain!
crissy — October 2, 2009 @ 8:56 am
my fav soup is my mom’s lentil soup. It’s so healthy and filling.
Jodie — October 2, 2009 @ 8:57 am
My fav soup is Jamaican Red Peas Soup.
3 cups of kidney beans, soaked overnight in water or 2 tins of canned beans
1 1/2 litres of water
2 regular onions
2 scallion (spring onions may be used as a substitute)
2 carrots
2 teaspoons of dried thyme
1 hot pepper (ideally scotch bonnet)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
1/2 lb potatoes
1/2 lb yam
1/2 cup coconut milk
Flour, water and a pinch of salt to make dough for spinners.
If you are using fresh, dried kidney beans then soak them in water overnight.
Place the beans (including the water they were stored / soaked in) in a large saucepan and add the water.
If you are using meat then add the meat at this stage too.
Let simmer for one hour.
Chop the hot pepper, potatoes, onions, scallion, yam and carrots in to small pieces
Mix flour and a pinch of salt with water until it has the consistency of dough.
Pinch off a small amount of the dough and roll it in your hands to make a “spinner”.
Add the spinner to the pot, repeat until you run out of dough.
Add the rest of the ingredients
Let simmer for one more hour
gabby — October 2, 2009 @ 8:57 am
i love broccoli & cheddar soup!
Susan — October 2, 2009 @ 8:59 am
Does chili count as soup?? Because that’s definitely my fave
Does Healthworks do the Les Mills BodyPump class? My gym does those here and I was less than impressed with the class. May have been the instructor, the weights I used, or just an off day. I burned 200 calories and left feeling like I barely got a workout. I’ll have to try it again to get a full opinion though
Alex — October 2, 2009 @ 8:59 am
vegetarian borscht made my mother. nothing beets it (hehe, sorry for the lame pun)
CaSaundra — October 2, 2009 @ 9:00 am

I love soups so its hard to choose just one so I’ll rattle off a few: french onion, butternut squash, split pea, miso, chunky tomato, minestrone, yada yada yada.
carolinebee — October 2, 2009 @ 9:02 am
I love Split Pea- i had the original Anderson’s Pea soup in Northern California, u must go if you ever go to SF again, it’s soo good!
Lanie — October 2, 2009 @ 9:03 am

Kay — October 2, 2009 @ 9:03 am

Lauren — October 2, 2009 @ 9:07 am

Whitney @ Lettuce Love — October 2, 2009 @ 9:09 am
I am all about vegetable soup. I never have a plan when I make soup — I just throw as many vegetables as I have on hand and let it simmer all day.
Jamie — October 2, 2009 @ 9:13 am
I am obsessed with TORTILLA SOUP with lots of lime, avacado and hot sauce! I don’t have the recipe because my FAVE is at a little hole in the wall Mexican place and the owner won’t SHARE! Believe me… I have tried! LOL
Kerry — October 2, 2009 @ 9:14 am
Gazpacho or anything Tomato based! paired with grill cheese and we are in business. This is a great giveaway!
heatherfeather — October 2, 2009 @ 9:15 am
i love some veggie soup… not the canned soup either. nobody makes it like my grandma. she even cans her own tomatoes so she can make it for me all year long
Nicole — October 2, 2009 @ 9:15 am
Well my all time favorite soup is New England Clam Chowder from the Lobster Trap on the Cape (only in New England can you get really good chowda) but my go to great on the waistline soup is regular or mango gazpacho. Yum!!
Melissa — October 2, 2009 @ 9:16 am
I LOVE homemade chicken soup. My grandmother makes it for every holiday. It’s become a family tradition!
(I also love the pumpkin soup from au bon pain. My boyfriend says it’s a crappy chain soup and I should try to make the real thing, haha)
Laura — October 2, 2009 @ 9:19 am
I love pasta e fagoli. It’s my favorite and I’m actually planning to make some this weekend!!
Yay for soup and fall!
Stephanie — October 2, 2009 @ 9:20 am
My boyfriends grandmother is from Italy, and she makes the best chicken & bean soup. My BF is diabetic so it happens to have basically NO carbs in it at all and is absolutely delicious.
It’s just a simple chicken broth with large pieces of chicken in it, LOTS of chick peas, carrots, green beans, and celery. It’s simple but she always adds an extra ingredient to make it delish!
LOVE of course
Marcie — October 2, 2009 @ 9:20 am
My Mom makes the most unbelievable zucchini soup. It is a staple at all of our holiday meals. The leftovers are the best because it is always better the 2nd day after the flavors have had time to sit together!
Lauren — October 2, 2009 @ 9:21 am
New England Clam Chowder of course!!
Ashley — October 2, 2009 @ 9:22 am
love split pea soup made with cashews
Jessica P. — October 2, 2009 @ 9:22 am
I have to admit I’m not a huge soup fan- I don’t generally get filled up with it. But I do like taco soup, and even though it may not be technically a “soup”, I really love chili on a cold day.

I think my favorite would have to be corn chowder soup – even though it’s more of a chowdah, it’s so creamy, delicious, and the perfect year round soup!
Freya — October 2, 2009 @ 9:46 am
Every Thanksgiving, our family friend makes a sweet potato peanut butter soup. Like you, I just love my nut butters, and this soup is thick, nutty, sweet, and fabulous!
Amisha — October 2, 2009 @ 9:47 am
My favorite soup is white beans and rapini. I make it at home and it’s just delicious! All you need is garlic, shallots, olive oil (saute), add rapini and vegetable stock, then let cook for a while. Finally add in pre-cooked white beans and season with salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper and parmesan cheese.

Elina — October 2, 2009 @ 9:48 am

I love, love Fitness Magazine! And I love, love SOUP! In Boston, there is a Vietnamese Restaurant that has the BEST chicken noodle soup! It is PHENOMENAL! I highly suggest it! (It is called Pho Pasteur). Best soup on earth!

I love my mom’s version of the ever popular cabbage soup.
Cabbage Soup
1-2 lbs. ground beef or turkey (as much as you like, I use 1)
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 c. raw potatoes, chopped
3-4 beef bouillon cubes
1-2 cans diced tomatoes (I use 2, fire roasted , garlic flavored)
1 c. raw carrots, chopped
1 small head of cabbage, chopped
Brown ground beef or turley (drain grease, if any). Add everything EXCEPT CABBAGE. Add 1 quart of water. Once soup comes to a boil, simmer over low heat for one hour. Pour in another quart of water and return to a slow boil. Add cabbage and simmer for one hour until cabbage is tender.
You can spice it up any way you like, I tend to change my spicing depending on my mood.

I’ve taken a few body pump classes and worn my heart rate monitor – I only burn ~200 calories. There is no cardio so my heart rate doesn’t get up very high. I’m so bummed
I was really hoping for 600!

Italian wedding is my favorite soup – it reminds me of meeting my mom for lunch in highschool and having girl time. I miss those afternoons!
Anne — October 2, 2009 @ 9:53 am
I love taco soup! Ground turkey, onion, black beans, corn and spicy tomatoes! Very filling and low-cal.
Brittany — October 2, 2009 @ 9:53 am

My favorite soup is homemade Chicken Rice soup made by my Mom. It’s delicious, especially with a huge piece of freshly baked bread.
erin — October 2, 2009 @ 9:55 am
my favorite soup is lentil soup! i usually just throw lentils+veggie broth+veggies in a pot, season with cumin and whatever else sounds good and simmer. it was my husbands introduction to lentils when we first started dating and now we eat them at least once a week! (although not in soup-form because we live in louisiana where we can only eat soup two months of the year)
Kirsten — October 2, 2009 @ 9:56 am

i might be late, but since it’s fall i love a good butternut or sweet potato soup with black beans!
megan — October 2, 2009 @ 11:10 am
traditional vegetable soups cannot be beat for easy weeknight meals! i make mine on sunday night and just re-heat and eat most nights for dinner (or i enjoy a smaller portion before dinner.) to make, i sauté one vidalia onion with carrots, celery and a little garlic. then layer the flavors, starting with diced red peppers, shredded green cabbage, fresh kale, and mushrooms. next, add one can of diced tomatoes, one small can of tomato paste and an entire container of chicken or vegetable broth. the tomato paste makes the brother almost as thick as traditional tomato soup, which i love. but if you don’t like it so thick, using less tomato paste would still intensify the flavors nicely. enjoy with a few shavings of parmesan cheese!
Brooke — October 2, 2009 @ 11:34 am
I hope this isn’t too late…Fitness is a great magazine. They always have great tips! My favorite soup is split pea with lots of vinegar!! I usually buy Amy’s but this year I’m going to attempt to make my own. Earlier this week I made some pumpkin and black bean soup that was delicious! I’m so excited that soup season is soon approaching. Have a great weekend!!
eliza — October 2, 2009 @ 11:36 am
Mmm… nothing beats a spicy vegetable and black bean soup. Ooh, or a tomato lentil. Who am I kidding. I LOVE all types of vegetable soups. yeah for Fall time!!!

My favorite soup is Weight Watchers’ vegetable soup because I can eat as much of it as I want without messing up my diet. It warms me up — but more importantly, it FILLS me up!
