Easy-Peasy Dinners 2: Soup and Rice

  Really tired after a long day and need something more than a microwave dinner? Sick, but sick of chicken noodle soup? Hungry for "real" food but just can't go to the effort of making a "real" dinner? You want a simple, yummy meal? I have the answer!

1 can of soup (we love Progresso's "Hearty Pot Roast & Vegetables" or "Steak & Vegetables")
1/2 cup of cooked rice
Whatever seasoning you want

  In the Franklin house, I cook the rice and then throw the soup in when it's done. I always add a little fresh cilantro, dried minced garlic, pepper and fajita seasoning (a new favorite in my kitchen arsenal, you can find it in the spice aisle at Walmart). Voila! You're done! If I'm making enough for David and me, I double the rice and add a can of soup. It's the go-to for us when nothing else sounds good/easy/we've gotten home too late/we're too lazy to do anything else/it's cold outside/whatever.

  Happy (lazy) eating!
