I don't really have any 'diet' soup recipes, and I guess it would depend on what your customers consider diet soup. Many recipes can be altered to fit the "diet" status.

Clear soups, as opposed to cream soups, come to mind, as well as low cal and low recipes...and I suppose there are those that want the low carb too.

Skimming off the recipes from broths and using low recipes alternatives in ingredients are a couple of ways to lower calories and recipes. Also vegetable and/or lean meat soups without noodles can cut the calories.

One source that I can think of is Julee Rosso's Great Good Food. She has taken a lot of traditional recipes and altered them to be more healthful and lower in calories and recipes.

Good luck in your new venture!
