I'd worried a little about that too but there is chicken broth.
About the only soup that does not have an animal protein that I
am prepared to eat is Gazpacho!

Beats me how you can draw that conclusion! It's rather sad
since I used to love pie but have not eaten it for 15 years
since I went onto a no-fat diet!

Me too, I avoid lardy crust.
I will devour buttery gram cracker crust.

I have a tolerance for their deep fried pizzas.

What up.

Yeah, I just knew she was going to toss in some Italian sausage

I like gazpacho, you have to be careful when you order it
scrimpy chefs tend to think it keeps forever, lol

Another no meat soup is Fr Onion.
mmmm, lots of toasty cheese running off the sides, and hearty croutons
in the soup.

I've made it at home with lipton dry onion soup mix.. so quick and
tasty.

Well, the cheese doubtless helps and there often is chicken or
meat broth in it. I think lentil soup, which of course has
vegetable protein, is not bad but I just would not go out of my
way for it

Not even vegetarian lentil soup? That one is delicious with just onion,
celery, carrot, tomato, tarragon, dill, and garlic.

Sound good! but I would have add, at the beginning, together with the
extra virgin oil some pieces of bacon (pancetta piacentina!) and of
course, at the end, a snow of parmigiano reggiano
