Soup, Soup, and more Soup

I'm working.

But I wanted to say:  this soup is delicious!



His Organic Chicken & Egg Noodles is excellent, too.

I'm on a soup testing jag.  It seems to go well with the obsession of a rough draft.  I don't have to do anything but open a can and it fills me up for hours. Plus, I can be creative in what I sprinkle on top of or stir into the soup.  (Nearly every soup can be garnished with chunks of ripe avocado. Yum, yum.)

So far, these creations get my thumbs up:

Imagine Bistro Corn Chipotle Bisque (good with tortilla chips crumbled on top)

Imagine Bistro Cuban Black Bean Bisque (yummy with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkling of cheese.  Also makes great nachos.)

Progresso Vegetable Classics Lentil  (a favorite for a long time. I don't like thin lentil soup, and this isn't. It isn't too onion-y either, a prime fault of some brands.  I do like the local Lebanese place's lentil soup the best though, if I'm not too lazy to drive there.)

Pacific Split Pea with Ham and Swiss Cheese (wonderfully thick and filling. Load it down with oyster crackers.)

On the take-out side,

Panera's Vegetarian Creamy Tomato soup is delicious, especially with their cheesy croutons, but I see from their nutrition info that it's really not good for me. (I guess creamy should have been the tip-off.) 

Their Low-fat Chicken Tortilla soup is healthier, and just as delicious. 

And if I'm making my own soup, it's Green Chile Chicken Stew, which I posted the recipe for here.

Okay, that's your public service announcement for the day. Share your own favorite, if you want to.
