Good Soup Recipes

So I spent way too much time, and money, at Publix today and didn't get my chicken thawed in time for dinner... so we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse for dinner. It was delicious, and I tried to make healthy choices!!! My chicken will be ready for tomorrow though, and I am going to make a white chicken chili that I found the recipe for in ALL YOU magazine... GREAT magazine for coupons and recipes!!!

Personally I always boil my chicken... a whole chicken is about 98 cents per pound at Walmart and BJ's versus boneless skinless at sometimes$4-$5 per pound!!! I boil a whole chicken and I will use half for this recipe, then the other half for something else this week, or stick the cooked chicken in the freezer until next week--- if you are using it in a soup you won't have to worry about it being dry!

Another soup I want to try that sounds pretty good is cheeseburger soup... I found it on the College Inn Broth's site

I also love that they have the calories!!!!

So I went to Publix today and spent $100... way more than I normally spend at the store, but I wanted to stock up on a plethora of 100 calorie snacks... I am going to be starting classes next week and I am going to need to pack my lunch... I want it to be healthy!!! I did relatively decently considering there are very few, if any coupons for healthy snacks--- I spent $100 and saved $60, usually my savings far exceeds my spending... but when I actually have to buy thing I need versus what I have good coupons for it gets a little out of control!

Well, I can hear "101 Dalmations" coming to a close in the playroom, so I need to give my daughter a bath and get her to bed, then on to my book... on #2 of 2011... I started a goal on Goodreads to read 50 this year--- hoping to do more than that, but we shall see!!! Night!
