Soups are a great choice because have high water content, so it helps you get your recommended several glases of water a day, and low energy-dense, so fewer calories. Anyone who has seen the Progresso soup commercials knows that most of their soups are 100 calories or less in what is basically half the can, a good portion, though bad for you in terms of how much sodium you are packing in.
