Hi friends!

Just popping in to share a quick little lunch idea I’ve been loving lately. For some reason, the idea of a soup and sandwich combo is something I typically only choose at restaurants. It never seems to come to mind when I’m thinking about lunch at home…until lately! When I was asked to check out some Progresso^TM soups, I jumped at the chance! The weather was cold and I was definitely in need of some quick lunch options. I was also excited to hear that Progresso^TM is now serving White Meat Chicken With No Antibiotics. Ever! They have a variety of chicken soups made with 100% antibiotic and hormone free white meat chicken breasts…because quality is always in season!

As you guys know, when my toddler decides he wants to eat, that means he wants to eat immediately. He’s recently become pretty good at using a spoon, so I’m excited to be able to start stocking my pantry with these soups for a quick, easy and convenient lunch option.

Squish and I enjoyed the Savory Chicken and Wild Rice Soup for lunch a couple weeks ago. I loved that it was a reduced-sodium variety and he loved fishing the chicken and carrots out of his bowl with his spoon. To make it a complete meal, I whipped up a few sandwiches to go with it.

We all know grilled cheese pairs perfectly with soup. To jazz things up a little bit, I added a fried egg and some avocado and red peppers to our sandwiches.

So here’s what you do:
