Usually in my meal planning I like to include an easy prep meal that I can fall back on if something comes up during the week, or if I get home later and just don’t feel like putting something together.
On to the easiest recipe in the world. . .
- TJ’s Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup (I get the low-sodium version)
- 1/2 box low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups frozen veggies and big handfuls of torn spinach
- 1 cup grilled balsamic-marinated chicken or you could sub chickpeas/beans
- Various spices, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, cinnamon (gives it some warmth)
- 2 cups cooked pasta, or some rice, quinoa, etc.
In a pot place all the ingredients and warm to your liking 🙂
These are also great if you don’t have fresh basil on hand. It’s not as flavorful as fresh, but it works. I used about 8 cubes for the soup.
That’s it! I like to serve it with a nice grilled cheese or cheesy naan for dipping (fontina with oregano). I am addicted to naan with pretty much anything.
