Soup

Last night (and tonight - leftovers are your friend) it was/is Gerrib's Patented Pot Roast for dinner. Now, since I'm kinda sorta on a low carb diet, I don't eat potatoes or rice at home for dinner. Since lettuce doesn't keep that well, I've been making canned soups in lieu of salad or potato.

Like many of my fellow Americans, "canned soup" means Campbell's Soup. And the good folks at Campbells make a quality, tasty product. However, their vegatable offerings can be a bit bland. Enter my dad. He's retired, and now has lunch at home most days. At one of those lunches, he opened a can of Progresso soup. It was quite tasty, but I wondered why he added half a can of water to a soup that specifically said, "don't add water." Then I made Progresso's Hearty Tomato Soup last night. Again, very tasty, but thick enough to use as pasta sauce.

Now I know. I also found an alternative to Campbell's.
