You might be interested in trying some of the various period soup
recipes that 
have been mentioned on this list. I doubt that too many meet your requirements
in your first paragraph but you could fix them and then freeze the leftover
portion for the future, and that should be fairly quick to heat back up.

This file in the FOOD section of my files has most of the period soup recipes
from this list and some from elsewhere:
soup-msg         (104K) 12/ 1/99    Medieval soups. Cooking soups at
events. 
                                       recipes.

I've also learned a lot from this next file. If you haven't tried making your
own stock for soup, you might be interested in trying it sometime.
broths-msg        (39K)  1/12/00    Broths in period recipes. Substitutions.
