This recipe makes a consistently delicious soup that is simple to make ahead for a week of lunches. I found this recipe from Zenhabits.com and modified it a little. I estmated the prep time, it didn't take too long.
This is definitely a "treat" for me - there are a number of ways to make this lower in calories and fat, but some days I just need that comfort food.
use zucchini in place of pasta and ground turkey to create the flavor of lasagna
Hearty but still healthy, and easy to make ahead or freeze, this is the best lasagna I've created for my family.
"Pasta and Beans" This recipe can be made with many types of dry pasta and many different types of beans. It is also good with Ditalini a small tube pasta or in place of the kidney beans try black beans. The choice is up to you. You clean out the refrigerator of all the vegetables and add beans and pasta. In place of the Ground Beef try Ground Turkey. In place of the Italian Sausage use Ground Turkey Italian. Use up what you have.
