This is an Emeril Lagasse recipe - one of the few healthy-ish ones I would say!! Not anything in the way of protein, I'm afraid, but good nevertheless. For the wine, you could get the cheapest white wine you can find, since you're just cooking with it.
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 cup white wine
1 quart chicken (or vegetable) stock
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped chives, as garnish
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Add apple and carrots and saute for 2 minutes. Carefully add the white wine, stock, and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the apples and carrots are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and puree with an immersion blender or, in batches, in a blender. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Garnish with chives and serve.

Soup Ideas
, so non-meat would be appreciated. I find that I feel fuller on soup than almost anything else, so I would like to start having it for dinner, but currently only have about 3 options that I know. Low-fat, low-cal, something with a protein source, that can fit in a student budget (alot to ask, I know)? Any advice would be much appreciated!
