I think I've made it known in the past that I'm obsessed with soup in cold weather. And by cold weather, I mean starting right after Labor Day. And by "made it known" I mean multiple times per year going back forever. So, it's a soup-fest around here for most of the year.
I definitely like making my own soup when I have the time but, life is busy and, if you open my cupboard, you'll also see a row of canned soups. That wasn't always the case until the first time I tried Progresso's Light soups. I had to double check the nutrition information to believe it was really light because this stuff tastes way too good. And it actually is good with antibiotic-free all white chicken meat, vegetables and delicious broths. Walmart is a great source for the entire line of flavors and I probably have them all in my kitchen.
I'm often the soup for dinner type and, while I love a soup and sandwich combo, the Progresso Chicken Noodle is so generously packed with noodles that I really don't need the extra carbs. So I keep it light with a lettuce wrap filled with easy to prep veggies. I usually choose either Romaine or spinach because I like their flavor. Then add a generous schmear of hummus, some julienned carrots and cucumbers and a sprinkle of sharp crumbled feta. So I get my hot comforting bowl of soup, loaded with chicken and noodles, with a crispy and healthy side. I love dinner. Enjoy!
