A good food pairing can play into a hardy meal plan too.  It seems like soup and salad is one food pairing that you can’t go wrong with.  Since I’m sharing my chopped salad recipe, I thought I would share what I paired my salad with as well — Great Value Broccoli Cheddar Soup.

How many of you made a new year’s resolution to lose weight?  My hand is flailing in the air.   Haha.  With a healthier diet, comes healthier meals, right?  So, that’s where a delicious salad comes into the picture.   Thankfully, I loooove them and this Chopped Salad Recipe just happens to be one of my favorites.  It’s simple, yet flavorful and can be perfectly paired with soup!

Due to our busy lifestyles, a meal with easy prep, great value and quality taste is something we’re on the lookout for.  It seems like in today’s society, it’s a lot of go-go-go.  And, of course, some days are much worse than others.  Can I get a witness?

Therefore, on a recent grocery run, I picked up some of the fully cooked soups in the freezer section at Walmart.  I chose the Great Value Loaded Baked Potato Soup and the Great Value Broccoli Cheddar Soup.  Using the stock pot method, there really wasn’t much prep work at all.  As a result, while the soup was warming up, I was able to whip up the salad.  Easy peasy, right?

To prove just how easy the making process was, I even created a fun video to show you how easy it is:

These items are fully cooked, simply heat and serve.  And priced at under $5.50 for four 8-oz servings, that truly is a great value.  Other Great Value products available are:

  • Chicken Tortilla Soup
  • Tomato Basil Soup
  • Classic Mac & Cheese
  • 5-Cheese Mac & Cheese

All of these products are great when paired with a salad or sandwich, etc. They’ve been developed to compare to what you might order at a chain restaurant.  Why eat out when you can bring it home?

Friends, the Broccoli Cheddar soup was amazing!  Mmmm…. And since we had some cold weather roll back through, we probably ate more than the 8 oz. serving (hee-hee).

So, I paired our soup with my simple Chopped Salad Recipe. Let’s dig in, shall we?  Enjoy!

    We eat the Great Value macaroni and cheese exclusively, primarily because of the cost. I have never even seen the varieties you mentioned. The chicken tortilla soup is the one I am most interested in trying.

    I’m always a sucker for Tomato Basil soup. I would pair it with grilled cheese, of course! The Chicken Tortilla sounds good, too. In that case, I would pair with quesadillas— including fresh, choppped veggies from the fridge and rotisserie chicken from the store deli or pre grilled, chopped chicken breast that I cooked previously.

    I am a “soupaholic”…..they are all good and will be added to my recipe book.
    I am simple with a side simply cut up a tortilla and grill or bake until crispy….sometimes I just keep put some sea salt as a topping, sometimes some herbs or cheese depending on soup…..
