Splash of Fall Soup

I am making Vanilla Pumpkin Soup today. 

I took a nice lil ol pumpkin, took out the seeds to roast later and cut it up in chunks.

Then I started taking the 'meat' out of the pumpkin.  This was going on a cookie sheet to roast in the oven.

The outer shell was saved to feed to the wild birds outside. 

I then took the roasted pumpkin and added it to half n half, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, butter, chicken stock, cinnamon, almond flavoring and sugar. Brought that to a boil.

Then I blended it all in the blender. Made it into a warm rich goodness!

Day 2 on New Diet Meals

Well I am trying another new food for my diet program. Today I added Progresso High Fiber soup for my lunch. It is becoming chilly outside and I love a nice hot cup of soup for a meal. Well with only 130 calories and only 4 grams of fat this Creamy Tomato Basil soup did the trick. This is only one of the 4 soups that Progresso added to its high fiber line. I also loved that I found a coupon for $1.10 off to purchase this soup with. Since there was a sale going on, I only paid .40 cents for this can. That was only .20 cents a serving for my lunch. College Girl is happy about this. As she took 7 cans of the Creamy Tomato Basil soup back to her dorm room this weekend.

Another is the Chicken Tuscany. I want to thank Progresso and MyBlogSpark for sending me this flavor to try out. I also received some of those wonderful coupons I told you about above too! Since each can is 2 servings, there will be plenty for me and Grandma to have for lunch tomorrow. The great tasting Progresso soups have 28% of the recommended Daily Value of fiber per serving (7 grams) and have no added MSG* or artificial flavors. The new varieties include Chicken Tuscany, Creamy Tomato Basil, Hearty Vegetable and Noodles and Homestyle Minestrone.
