Cheap, easy, nutritious, and filling soup to take to work every day? (self.food)

I have a tiny fridge so I need something I can put in my chest freezer and microwave portions of it to put in a thermos. I'm hoping for minimal prep work, though I have a Vitamix if that helps. I already eat the same thing every day, that I buy from work for 6 dollars. Not ideal. I'm thinking I can bring the soup and some crackers or something.

anything with beans/lentils really. i like Pasulj, Turkish lentil soup, and ful medame. these are all easy to prepare, cheap, and filling. you can also deviate from standard recipes by throwing other veggies into the mix (within reason). they also work very well with some soft boiled eggs and hot sauce.

I do love the spicy stuff

absolutely! these all work very nice with naga chillis, either dried or with a homemade "sauce". i usually make a sofrito (i.e. no vinegar, no sugar, little salt, just sauteed veggies with maybe an apple) with lots of chillis. it really brings out the fruitiness. but it spoils fast so either can it or keep it in the freezer/fridge.
