Souper Easy Dinner

December 28, 2007 · Written by Heather Juma

soup salad dinner As woman entrepreneurs, we have an abundance of tasks to take care of through the day and dinner is not usually a priority. However, I have the perfect answer that will ensure you will be staying away from the cardboard pizza boxes.

Not many people give soup and salad the credit it rightfully deserves and in a pinch, it can really be a lifesaver, accommodating to your busy lifestyle as well as a healthy choice of dinner.

Starting with a can of soup, perhaps one of those Progresso soups with the chunky vegetables and meat or something resembling a bit more than condensed, flavored water. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a few grinds of black pepper. If you have a few sprigs of parsley handy, chop it up and sprinkle it on just before serving.

Everyone buys (or has bought) those bagged salads, so you can buy them with the dried cranberries ad nuts in them. Make sure to rinse off the salad greens–Do not trust the packaging and think they are already pre-washed.) If you didn’t buy the salad with all the fixings, throw in some dried cranberries, toast a few almonds or walnuts, sprinkle in your favorite cheese and mix it up really well. Dress it up with your favorite bottled or homemade dressing and season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper.

You can warm a baguette up in the can and even toast some nuts for it–Toasting nuts gives them a lot more flavor. Finish off the dinner with a luscious berry sorbet with a side of cookies and you’re good to go!

And there you have it–A souper easy dinner!

    Great idea Heather! Perhaps we can all put our favorite recipes on here that are quick and easy! I’d love to hear other ones!

    My favorite salad’s ingredients can all be purchased from Costco.

    Cut up Romaine lettuce (or buy and wash a bag)
    Red onions (cut up)
    Pecans (crumbled)
    and Gorganzola cheese

    This needs no dressing! Try it! But be sure and have breath mints after!

    thanks for the recipe ladies - i don’t have any to share but notice there are great ‘fake it don’t make it’ recipes in real simple magazine. i loved their fake lasagna - using stuffed cheese ravioli in lieu of lasagna noodles - a personal favorite. thanks for the great reminders!

    Hei, that’s a nice and fast dinner if you don’t have time to cook. Espacially that I like soups very much.
