Keep a nice selection of canned and boxed broths on hand, along with frozen vegetables, frozen chopped chicken and beef, and lots of pastas. Then with any of these recipes you can whip up a delicious batch of soup in very little time.
Soups without potatoes and pasta also freeze really well. So make a big pot of soup and feed your family a hearty filling dinner, and have another dinner ready and waiting in your freezer!
