My 'lazy girl' Trader Joe's dinner is ready in 5 minutes

Jan 04, 2024

A FOOD enthusiast has shared her lazy girl cooking creation that won't take too much of your time or money.

For the weeknights she doesn't feel like making much, she'll whip up a quick and healthy dish.

Kalena (@kalenainthekitchen) can go big or small when it comes to her dinners.

Yet, there are some nights when the day has exhausted her too much to even think about doing meal prep.

For those who know the feeling, she posted a video to share her easy and delicious recipe for soup.

"This soup only takes five minutes to make and five minutes to eat," she proclaimed.

All of the ingredients were from Trader Joe's.

Kalena started by slicing one pack of the grocery store's chicken sausage.

She seared the meat at medium heat until the outsides were brown and a bit crispy.

Next, she added in one carton of roasted red pepper and tomato soup to the pot.

Kalena threw in a bag of cauliflower gnocchi and let it boil in the soup for five to six minutes.

She topped the soup off with a 1/2 bag of spinach with a half bag of spinach.

"Something about this soup is so good," Kalena admitted.

"It's hearty and delicious." And her dog thought so too.

She shredded some cheese to top her bowl off.

Excited viewers rushed to thank Kalena in the comments.

"This looks so good. I'm definitely making this this week," an eager food fan wrote.

Another follower agreed: "Actually a recipe I haven't made from Trader Joe's. Thank you. Great idea."

"Made it tonight! So good. Added fresh basil and a cup of water so it was a little thinner. Thank you!"
