Sometimes you're tired and just don't feel like cooking or you really don't know how to cook very well.  You might just head for the nearest drive thru or go looking for your stash of takeout menus!  You don't have to ruin your diet when you can quickly make a lite soup or stew.Joan has given us a recipe book with some quick, low calorie soups and stews.  Some of the recipes call for conveniently canned vegetables, tomatoes, and beans while others use whole foods.  With some prior planning and pantry stocking you can make these recipes in a hurry.My favorite soups are the Lite Soup with Hamburger, the Southwestern Soup, and the Lite and Easy Chicken Gumbo.I would highly recommend this book to bachelors and college students or anyone wanting to make a lite meal in a hurry.
