Nearly Fat Free Tomato Soup (this is a very simple recipe that I came up with one night when we had nothing in the house to eat)

* Simply combine a jar of pasta soup and some chicken stock. I will sometimes add different things to add some variety ~ frozen veggies, pasta, rice, etc. This is also a great way to use up leftovers. One of my favorites is to add leftover "taco meat." This also works great for using up leftover pasta sauce.

This is a fast and easy chicken salad made with a rotisserie chicken. It has a lot of fiber.
