What could be more pleasing this time of the year than a pot of warm homemade soup! Soup is a great addition to any menu. It can provide a variety of tastes as a healthy delicious main dish, and can make meal planning easy as well as budget friendly.
Use soup as a time saver for meals. Make a pot of your family’s favorite soup over the weekend. Serve during the week for a quick evening meal, or take it for lunch. Add a salad and whole wheat bread to complete the meal. Freeze the leftovers for use later. Try a Chicken Corn Chowder or this very veggie Chicken Vegetable with Kale.
New at making soup? Soups can be easy and quick to prepare. Using recipes with just 2-3 ingredients, a pot of soup can be ready in less than 30 minutes. This Cabbage Tomato Soup with 2 main ingredients or a 3 Can Chili can show you just how easy it is to make soup.
Beans and lentils are a great protein source for soups at a low cost. Add your favorite vegetables and have a meal ready in little time. Use dry lentils in Lentil, Mushroom and Swiss Chard Soup and canned kidney beans in the Quick Minestrone Soup.
