Soup Mix and Match!

As with the Mix&Match Salad, I have my own preferences, but I figured others would want to figure out what sounds tasty to them. Suggestions for stuff to add is loved and appreciated!
Do your math carefully, and Enjoy! xoxo

First Step: Broth
Chicken Flavor:
     - Take a chicken bouillon cube, and dissolve it in a cup of water (a little more than a cup of the taste is too strong for you). Though there are many brands, I haven't seen a chicken bouillon cube more than 5 calories (still read labels though!). So, for every cup of soup you want, that's 5 calories.


Second Step: Added Bits
Carrots
Celery Stalk = 5 
Corn (1/2 Cup) = 65-70
Cucumber (1/2 cup, w/peel & raw) =  8
Prawn = 3-17 cal, depending on type and how you prepare it
Shrimp = 5-15 cal., depending on type and preparation
Rice:
     - White (1/4 Cup) = 52
     - Brown (1/4 Cup) = 54
Tomato = 25


Third Step: Spices
Cayenne Pepper = 3.5 cal. per gram
Oregano = 14 cal. per Tablespoon


Fourth Step: Topping
Cheese (1 ounce Mozzarella, part skim) = 72
Oyster Crackers (1/4 Cup) = 49
Salsa = 10-100, depending on brand & preparation
Sour Cream (table spoon, Fat Free) = As low as 12.5, depending on brand (I suggest DairyLand!)
