Enter Progresso Soups. I've always been a big fan, always my go to when I am in the mood for some yummy soup with no time to make a homemade pot of my own. With so many choices, there is always something to satisfy everyone in this house and with 7 people here I need goodness and variety!
I've had to find ways to add additional fiber to what I eat since my Thyroidectomy - this is so great! and GOOD! Adding Fiber to your everyday diet is just so important for good overall body health. I've learned this lesson big time since having my thyroid removed. I thought I was doing enough, but NO! Progresso has made it easier for me to meet some of those fiber goals.
I had the opportunity to try out the Progresso Chicken Tuscany, color my mouth happy and my tummy satisfied. Rich, hearty, flavorful it hit the spot! Great source of fiber, low in fat, no artificial flavors or MSG added - wonderful! Hubby loved it too! (and he is one picky soup guy). I was able to enjoy my soup served in a large fantastic soup mug complete with soup spoon. PERFECTO! Served with a side of bread sticks or crackers, maybe even a light sandwich - meal complete!
One of my readers will have the chance to WIN the same soup package I received ~ you too can have a satisfying soup moment.

I like to incorporate fiber by eating apple slices. And, I really love plain garbanzo beans, so I really don't have a hard time fitting the fiber in. I love a good potato, cheddar, bacon soup.

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (to garnish)
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley (to garnish)
Combine chicken broth, water, half & half, cheese, flour, onion and pepper in a large saucepan. Whisk to combine and to break up any lumps of flour, then turn heat to medium/high. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Add broccoli to soup and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until broccoli is tender but not soft. For each serving spoon one cup of soup into a bowl and garnish with a tbsp of shredded cheese and a pinch of parsley.

I incorporate fiber into my daily diet by eating frosted Mini-Wheats for breakfast every day. Seriously. I eat massive amounts of Mini-Wheats. I have one of those super CostCo boxes of them - it takes me probably three weeks to go through one of those (all by myself).

My favorite soup recipe is the chicken soup my grandma makes - it's nothing like regular chicken soup, but way more delicious. Here is the recipe:
Fill a large soup pot 3/4 of the way with water. Put in a bag of baby carrots, a few pieces of celery, an onion (quartered), and a large can of crushed tomatoes. Also add ~ 1 lb raw chicken. Bring to a boil, then cook at a simmer. When the chicken is cooked through (probably in about 30 minutes ~ an hour), remove it and shred it. Run the soup through a strainer into a large bowl to remove the celery, onion, carrots, and larger chunks of tomato. Put the soup back into the pot and bring to a boil - cook noodles in the soup and add the shredded chicken at the end. Serve with pecorino romano cheese.
