Soup With A Shortcut

Following a full-blown Thanksgiving feeding frenzy, the leftovers might run out before you feel like cooking again.

Take a tasty shortcut with Bear Creek Country Kitchens soup mixes, which come in a dozen flavors from Minestrone to Creamy Potato to Cheddar Broccoli.

Just add water (and, in some cases, tomato sauce) and a half-hour later, soup’s on. And if you’re lucky, maybe there will be leftovers.

Price: $4.75-$5.75 for 8 ounces (makes 8 cups).

Available: In Spokane at Country Cottage, Copper Colander, Gertie & Me, Mel’s Nursery, and selected Albertson’s and Yoke’s supermarkets, and in Sandpoint at Sharon’s Hallmark.
