I’m back on the road this week, which means I’m eating on the go here in Salt Lake City. It’s TEN TIMES less fun to eat healthy on the road when you’ve been cooking up a storm at home, I’ve decided. I’ve been craving all the things I’ve been making recently and those on my to-try list. Interestingly, I’ve no interest in eating junk… but I’m just bored with the travel selections this week.
Well, that’s not 100% true… I wanted a gooey brownie yesterday for some strange reason. I popped into the local Jenny Craig to solve that with a Chocolate Walnut Brownie though. Emergency handled! And, quite delish!
Here’s what I really want though: I’d love to eat this amazing soup, but I see no kitchen here in my hotel room at the Marriott, dear readers. I feel like I’m roughing it!
So, instead, I’ll write about it and share it with you guys. Surely SOMEONE will make it and enjoy it while I’m away from home?
I first tried this tasty soup last Friday when I got home from Boise. It was AMAZING and SUPER-EASY. If you like tomato soup, this is a quick, delightful recipe that I’m posting JUST for you. When I made it last week, I only made a half of a batch since I was only home two days. I so wish I had made the full batch. So good and very filling.
It comes again from one of my favorite series of cookbooks from Weight Watchers. Check out the title. They’re serious about keeping things simple, as should you.

That looks delicious!
Thanks for posting….love how simple it is and looks really good. I tried the roasted cabbage last night and loved it! Getting myself back on track after the holidays…they were pretty brutal for me. ~Sherri
Mmmm that looks really good, thanks for posting this. I will definitely try making this at some point, usually have all the ingredients already on hand except the buttermilk!
I wish I could buy a small container of buttermilk like that around here! I'm constantly wasting it when I only ever seem to need a cup or less of it.
I had this “end result” in mind, and your post helped me figure it out. We’re about to sit down to a cup of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich with sliced pear. Yum. Thanks!!
