Progresso Lentil Soup

Good morning! Happy to report that Ross is feeling better. He’s not 100% yet and already called in to work tomorrow, but his fever has broken. Yay!

Quite unlike my husband who slept 21 hours straight, I didn’t fall asleep until after 3AM last night – I miss my bed! I woke up with some Tropical Granola I recently made with some delicious vanilla rice milk.

I also just had the last of my lentil soup from last night’s dinner. K asked me what kind of soup it was. Well, y’all, nothing fancy over here.

Progresso Vegetable Classics 99% Fat Free Lentil Soup.

Years ago when I first realized I liked lentils, I think this was the first lentil soup that I ever tried. And I loved it. Still do! The nutrition stats are pretty decent (140 calories and 8 grams protein per serving – 2 servings per can). Yes the sodium is high, but what canned item doesn’t have high sodium? (Which is why, considering how many homemade things I consume, I don’t feel too bad about the convenience of canned soups occasionally).

I love Amy’s and other organic soups just as much as the next person, but let’s be real here – I’m unemployed. And even when I am employed – I’m frugal. When I find Progresso soups on sale (worked out to be $0.62 per serving) I’m all over it.

Alright y’all, I’m off to see what I can do with my Sunday. I’m thinking job apps and a stair master interval workout later. Hopefully a nap will sneak in there, too. See you later gators!
