Sounds right up my alley. I copied it into a document. I hate to

cook and my kids will also eat it.

I'm not a big fan of cooking either. Kinda tough for a stay at home Mom to not

like to cook! Oh well... I find my way around OK - just learned how to can

things, too. That's cool. I get a bug up my sleeve every so often and don't

mind spending the time, as long as I don't have to, if you know what I mean.

Rambled... sorry... I hope your kids like the soup!

Oops.......forgot.......I also throw in some kidney beans. Does this

still make it a good meal?

Be sure to wash your beans. Rinse all canned beans before putting them in

anything. There's usually extra salt in that canned bean water.

My only concern is the sodium content. I know that I personally take in

very little sodium throughout the day, but if you make this soup regularly I

would be concerned about it. Too much sodium leads to water retention and

bloating.

I think so - I believe it has some sort of bean like that in it already,

though....

I enjoy this a couple of times a week. I've noticed if I have two portions in

one day it upsets my stomach. Think maybe the sodium in it would do that? They

say the best remedy for water retention is drinking more water, right? So maybe

I should just drink an extra glass or two on days I have this soup.

Yes, drinking extra water will help. Of course, taking in less sodium is

another option. I guess I just figure if you have to do more work to

counteract it, why bother?

Lazy Chili:

Cooked Brown Rice

Canned Red Beans (rinsed)

Salsa (I get an organic black bean and corn that's faboo)

I mix all of this and call it cheater's chili. I have some of this with a

serving of protein like steak or chicken, or I could always add cooked

ground turkey to it.
