I like to make soup, especially in the winter!. You can just stick it in the crock pot and let it simmer while you go do errands or whatever!. Or you could stick it in a big pan and go take a shower or something while it simmers!. It's really great when I'm busy because it really takes very little time to actually prepare, and I don't have to hover over it while it cooks!.

My favorite is chicken noodle, but you can do this with about anything you have on hand: get some chicken broth (or water with chicken bouillon) and throw some chopped up vegetables or frozen vegetables in!. I like potatoes, celery, and carrots, but use whatever you like!. I use leftover meat from other meals or canned chicken and add it next!. I then sprinkle oregano, basil, thyme, 2 bay leaves, salt, and pepper in the pot, but you can use whatever spices you like!. Let it boil for a while until the vegetables are tender and throw some noodles or rice in!. If you want to thicken it up and have some cream of chicken/mushroom/celery soup on hand, you can throw that in, too!. When that's tender or you're ready to eat it, it's done!. The best part is, there are always leftovers and you can eat on those later!. And it's low fat, if you're on a diet!. You can substitute about any ingredients and make a large variety of soups (i!.e!., beef broth/hamburger, steak, or stew meat, etc!.)!. And it usually requires very minimal effort, but seems like something you put a lot of work into!.
