I had the perfect “ME Time” date planned out. My kids all had plans and I was going to be alone with my magazines, a little DVR catch-up and an awesome (easy to prepare) meal.
Then, I got sick! Boooo!
To prepare the soup, I opened the bag, poured it into a microwave-safe dish and put it in the microwave for 12 minutes (stirring halfway through.) While my soup was in the microwave, I brought my magazines and a wheat roll up to my bedroom. I was going to be sure there were no interruptions so I was hiding away.
Twelve minutes later I had this awesome soup…
This meal tasted so good. When I was a kid, I remember my mom making chicken noodle soup in the winter and this is the first soup that brought back those memories. It had a lot of flavor and I could see the spices in every spoonful. The noodles and veggies were crisp and not soggy at all.
You can see the spices in the soup. Yummy!
I added a warm wheat roll and dipped that into the chicken broth. YUMMY! I was feeling pretty miserable that evening, but the Bertolli Chicken & Rotini Meal Soup definitely hit the spot. Even though I was sick, within 30 minutes I had a hot soup and was snuggled in my bed with my favorite magazines and relaxing so I can get better.

That sure looks yumm! For me ‘ME’ time is to sit and watch my favorite TV show or to read a good thriller with a good bowl of yummy crunches. I hardly get a ‘ME’ time with my 2yr old running around and climbing up and down all day around the house.
Chicken soup really is comforting isn’t it? Hope you’re feeling better!
Great tips and I hope you feel better!!
Feeling much better this week! Thank you Rachel!
