No matter what, I always feel like we're in a hurry during the school year, even on a Friday night. We get home from school/work and are starving, want to eat good, but don't want to wait forever to eat. I know there are a ton of people in the same situation so when I find something good that even the kids love, I have to share it, even if it's NOT homemade ; ).
One Friday night I thought we'd try a packaged Minstrone soup mix; Cugino's Mama's Minstrone. I was unsure, but was pleasantly surprised. The soup prep is pretty simple: You only have to add water, tomato sauce, and some browned ground meat. It cooks for about 25 mins. and while it was cooking I also added a bag of frozen mixed veggies. I seasoned with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
I topped the soup with some shaved parmesan cheese and served it with grilled cheese. And of course, another time saver, leftovers for lunch to take to work during the week!
