I love to make soups because there are usually left overs for lunches. Sometimes on the weekend I will double a recipe and stock up extra in the freezer. Though- lately- I've been wanting to make soup on a weekday night.
Sometimes the hubby and I will make a super quick tortilla soup. Which is:
(1) Cooked shredded chicken (sometimes I boil it if I don’t want to turn on the grill). Or if you are looking for something even quicker (and vegetarian friendly) add a drained canned of bean (I like pinto, northern, or black beans).
(2) Brown or White Rice (about ½ cups worth or so)
(3) Broth (chicken or vegetable work just fine) (I like to make lots- so I’ll put in about 32 oz.
Throw broth in saucepan. Once it boils- add chicken (or beans) and rice and continue to cook on high.
While this is cooking, chop of up some tomatoes, cilantro, avocado, and fresh lime. (though on occasion, I’ll use lime juice out of the bottle). When rice is cooked- pour broth mix into bowls and decorate with toppings. It’s extra fun when you have tortilla chips to eat it with.
This is another quick version! :)
So last night the hubby and I madethe Black Bean and Salsa Noodle Soup. I took a photo and posted it here! Wow was it good! And really- done within 20 minutes! The hubby went back for seconds and took leftovers to work today (you know it's a winner when...)
Anyways- I wanted to ask you- What are you making for quick soups?
Can't wait to read your responses! Sincerely, Cate
