While I love what I do, I find that working from home can have some challenges, especially when Gabby is home with me during the school week. We tend to run errands in the morning and by lunchtime, I'm starving, but I have tons of work to do! I find myself looking for a simple, yet hearty lunch to eat quickly.
Campbell's has a new line of Slow Kettle Soups that taste like they're right from a restaurant, yet they are super simple to make at home. Our Walmart had a HUGE selection, it was really hard to decide. I like to pair soup with a quick wrap or sandwich to eat while checking email (or watching Bravo...). Since it's winter, I was drawn to the creamy soups like the Kickin' Crab & Sweet Corn Chowder and Baked Potato. I ended up also buying Tuscan Chicken & White Bean soup and Fiesta Lime Chicken Tortilla Soup. YUM!
Not going to lie, I was super excited to have my OWN lunch options. I usually end up eating the crust of Gabby's turkey sandwich and some super cold tomato soup. These soups went up high on the shelf in the pantry next to my Mommy's Food ONLY basket of protein bars/snacks. Most items are purchased for everyone else in the family, so I have to make sure little hands stay away from my treasured goodies.
You can make the soup in the microwave, but it's recommended to heat on the stove-top. (I did eat the Chicken Tortilla soup at work last weekend and it heated up beautifully in the microwave, too!) My Kickin' Crab Chowder only took about 4 minutes to heat up! I ate it with a simple side salad and was able to get work done after Gabby napped.
These soups will be a staple in our pantry from now on! I can treat myself for a quick lunch and get on with my work. No more mid-afternoon stomach growls for this Mama!
Do you work from home? What are your favorite simple lunches?
