I had a wedding party to go to and it was a costume party at that.  I wanted something light to bring and since it was really chilly outside for August (65 degrees) and the party was at night, I decided on soup.  I love making up my own recipes and making easy, quick ones; so below, you will find a very quick and easy but yummy tasting soup.  Not meant for a main course mind you, as it isn't filling enough.  Great for an appetizer.

Ingredients:

2 packages (found in 1 box) of Betty Crocker instant sweet potato

1 can of Baxter's carrot and coriander soup

1 box of Rice A Roni Whole Grain Brown Rice & Orzo; Roasted Garlic Italiano mix

1 cup fresh pineapple juice

3 cups fat free milk

1/4 cup olive oil

2 cups water

1 tablespoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon each of ground coriander, chili powder, cilantro, ginger, paprika and Chinese five spice

Put all of the ingredients in a large soup pot and cook over medium heat until the rice and orzo is soft.  This is about 20-25 minutes.  Serve immediately if preferred but also tastes great warmed up as a leftover.

Not only is this healthy, it is very low in calories and low in fat too.

Enjoy!
