SOUP IT UP!

My heart virtually  w a r m s  just to the thought of the approaching Season of Steaming Soups . . . .
AHHH

Here are a couple of very quick, nutritious, cheap, and delicious Sooped Up Soups for you to try:

1. Love Progresso Soups? Me too! For the First Day of Fall, I mixed one can of Lentil with one can of Vegetable Minestrone and heated on the stove. While warming, I ladled a generous scoop of sour cream into the bottom of my serving bowl. Then I added my newly invented and piping hot Lentil Minestrone, and placed another pretty penny of sour cream on top. For crunch, I served this with whole grain snack crackers smeared with garlic/feta cream cheese and a slice of pumpernickel to sop up every drop. Are you drooling yet?
2. My cupboard is always stocked with several cans of my favorite . . . Tomato Soup . . . to which I always add a splash of Worchestshire. Last week, another TS fan stired in a serving or two of shredded Zuchinni for extra zip! Terrific!!

Soup is the supper entree of choice all over Europe; because it's hearty, filling, light on fat and calories and easy to digest just as we are winding down our day. They usually serve a steaming bowl of broth, break some bread, sip a little house wine, and enjoy a little fruit and cheese for dessert. Now doesn't that say  u n w i n d  at the end of a tense day?
