Tomato Soup
Talk about easy to make. This soup is done in a flash. If you’re like me you’ll make a triple batch. You can freeze the portions.

Season to taste. I put a fair amount of pepper on top. My husband loves pepper on top of soup. Garnish with the asparagus tips and serve with a protein.

This is a meaty chili with some veggies tossed in for crunch factor. Makes a satisfying lunch.
Creole Seafood Stew
When I made this Creole stew, I used some “aristocratic” ingredients (shrimp and lump crab meat) but you can certainly make it easier on your budget by making a “Cajun” version.

Chicken and “Sausage” Etouffee (Cajun Stew)

Two of my favorite Cajun dishes are etouffee and Marengo. Like lots of Cajun food they are basically stews. Simple, flavorful meals.
Mayan Chicken Stew
Z2-Soup,ZS-Zola to Go,Z2-Poultry,ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees
This is an amazingly easy dish to make. On a diet like this Mexican or South American food would not normally be possible but this tastes authentic and has no rice or potatoes.

Tomato Basil Soup

Tomato basil soup is very easy to make. It comes together in a flash. The addition of cooked chicken elevates it to a one bowl meal.
Shrimp and Chicken Creole
Z2-Poultry,Z2-Seafood,Z2-Soup,Z2-Entrees
This tastes pretty darn authentic. Creole… or low country food. If you want it spicy you might consider adding a bit of cayenne (1/4 tsp) or the same amount of red pepper flakes. An final alternative would be to put a bottle of Tabasco on the table for people to add their own.

I have designed several chili recipes for Plan Z. This is one of those that is very straightforward and simple. It doesn’t even have a lot of ingredients.
Italian Pepper Steak in a Crock Pot
This is a great crock pot recipe. Super simple but really tasty.
Tomato Steak Stew
Made this tonight and was very happy with it – it would count as your vegetable and your meat although you could definitely add a green salad. I found it to be very filling.
Beef & Vegetable Stew
This stew will contain your meat and vegetable portion, serve with salad greens for a complete meal.
