Please tell me your life is crazy busy! Mine is hectic but I love it! Don’t you?! My days are a flurry of work, chauffeuring the kids around, and running errands.

At the end of the day, nothing sounds better than a homemade dinner. But sometimes making a homemade meal can take hours. That is time you can’t afford to give up!

But I want a meal that will keep my family full and satisfied. So, where do we find a compromise? On nights when I am short on time but want a delicious meal, I rely on canned soup.

I stock up on Progresso soups from Walmart. With a little mom magic and creative thinking, I am able to whip up a homemade dinner in no time!

Progresso has real, quality ingredients. So making a delicious homemade meal is easier than ever! I serve it with salad and top it with my Homemade Parmesan and Herb Whole Wheat Croutons Recipe. Viola!

My family and I have happy bellies! Progresso is a brand I have served my family for years. I love the variety of flavors. You can choose from over 20! And they are all under 100 calories or less per serving.

One of our favorite soups is the Progresso Light Chicken Noodle Soup. It reminds me of my mom’s homemade recipe! You will not find any antibiotics or hormones or GMO’s.

What you will find is white meat, egg noodles, carrots, herbs and spices, all in a hearty chicken broth.

How do you enjoy your soup? Do you top yours with anything? I love mine with a little crunch on top. You would love my Homemade Parmesan and Herb Whole Wheat Croutons Recipe! They are easy to make and addictively delicious.

I eat them like popcorn! They are the perfect complement for the Progresso Light Chicken Noodle Soup. I also love them with the Minestrone, Tomato Basil and the Garden Vegetable. What is your favorite?
