Simple easy broth soups without tomato based products?

[DubbleT]

When my daughter feels under the weather she likes a very simple clear Japanese soup.

thinly sliced mushrooms
chopped green onions
beef broth
garlic
low sodium soy sauce

Carrot with ginger and cream of anything.

ETA I'm sorry about the cream soup thing. I like miso soup with just about anything in it. The traditional seaweed and tofu is tasty. One winter I simmered all sorts of fresh and frozen vegetables in water then stirred in some miso paste. You can add some cooked grains like rice or barley to give it a little staying power.

I'll add that a non-broth soup doesn't have to contain dairy. Mashed potato can add a bit if heft to a soup.

The most basic of all soups Chicken Consomme or chicken soup has no tomato or cream base.

I always begin with a sauteed mixture of onion, celery, and carrots, no matter what type of soup I am making. Wild dried mushrooms make a hearty, but clear soup base to which you can add whatever you like.

I really like mushroom barley soup. Other non-tomato favorites of mine include lentil, potato leek, split pea, three-bean and vegetable, Quinoa vegetable, cabbage, and Asian vegetable with garlic and lemon.
Potato Leek and split pea are not exactly clear, but they are a little creamy.

NONE of the above have a tomato base.

If you are new to making soup, you can add a richer dimension to the soup by adding a good boullion base. I prefer the brand that comes in a jar to the cubed variety.
