I make soup every week and just keep it in the fridge to eat every day. Last week it was beef veggie noodle using leftover brisket and a handful of elbow mac. Tomorrow I'm making bean & turkey kielbasa soup. My standby fave is a simple veggie soup made hearty with the addition of tomato paste. I love making a pot of soup first thing in the morning while the kids are eating breakfast...it smells so good and makes me feel incredibly productive and inspired. I enjoy multiple bowls and almost always add 5 crumbled fat-free Saltines to turn it into comfort-food.
In a pinch, I looove the Lipton Instant Cup of Soup in Creamy Chicken flavor. Just add hot water and it's a 60-calorie treat. (I add my crackers as well.) Not sure if there are eggs, though.
If you have a Vita-Mix or good blender, it's sooo easy to whip up a fast creamy asparagus using canned asparagus, some chicken boullion, your favorite milk and a bit of cornstarch to thicken. Or sub the canned asparagus for cooked broc or cauliflower. I'm a soup girl, too!
