Recipe: Butternut Squash Three Bean Soup

Need something quick and easy but are at a loss for what to make?  Look in your pantry.  I often grab what I have and make something easy and delicious with it.  The trick is to have a variety of goods in your pantry to choose from.  Here’s what I made last night:

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (1 quart each) Trader Joe’s Organic Butternut Squash Soup (Low Sodium)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) small white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14 ounces) pinquintos or small red beans, drained
  • 1 can (14 ounces) cut green beans, drained
  • 1 small can mushrooms
  • 1 box (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach
  • 4 ounces (4 slices) honey roasted turkey deli meat, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Place the first 5 ingredients to a boil.  Add the frozen spinach and turkey meat and cook until the spinach has thawed and incorporated into the soup.  Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Was that easy, or what?

Makes 10 servings, 1 cup each.
