]]>How to Make 3-Ingredient Tomato Soup
There are several variations of three-ingredient tomato soup, but the one we liked the best comes from Irick Wiggins.
To start things off, Wiggins combines one cup of marinara sauce with 1/3 cup of cream (or milk) and 1/3 cup of broth. He then mixes it and microwaves it for three minutes. That is it.
Wiggins’ video with the three-ingredient tomato soup got a lot of attention on TikTok, receiving 17K likes and mostly positive reactions.
@iricksnacks Say “YUM” if you would eat this 3-Ingredient Tomato Soup
♬ original sound – iRickTo make it: Mix 1 cup marinara sauce, 1/3 cup cream (or milk) and 1/3 cup broth. Heat until warm. I microwaved it for 3 minutes & enjoy
Pro tip: Blend everything together for the best consistency For the quesadilla I just took a low carb tortilla and fried it in butter with American cheese in the middle
There is also a version from @jen.heffer, who uses the same ingredients but combines them in a pot using an immersion blender and heats the soup on a stove. She also recommends adding some seasoning to the soup, including garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
@jen.heffer 3 ingredient tomato soup! (Long caption) If you’re ever wanting a grilled cheese with tomato soup but arent wanting canned tomato soup or to spend over an hour in the kitchen for homemade tomato soup, i HIGHLY recommend getting your favorite jarred tomato sauce, some chicken broth (or you can do water with chicken bullion, thats what i did!) & heavy cream (or milk) then blend it, (if you dont have an immersion blender, you can all everything to a regular blender first, then add to the pot) of course season to your liking! I added in roasted garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, Tony’s & a tad bit of my favvv (ranch seasoning lol) This can also be a very cheap dinner for those needing it! My favorite jarred sauce at Walmart is less than 2$ the bread i got from walmart was 1$ (next time i make this, I’ll be using the cheese singles, which are much cheaper than the cheeses i used today!) if you dont have chicken broth or chicken bullion on hand, you can hust use water! Realistically you dont need water, but i prefer tomato soup to not be so thick! & the heavy whipping cream is completely optional as it is the most expensive item. Can be replaced with milk if youre wanting it to be creamy! Hope that helps anyone who needs a cheap meal for themselves or their family!

Asian-Inspired Seared Tuna Salad

]]>Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced

- 1 cup of chicken broth
- Salt
- Black pepper
- A sprinkle of Cajun magic (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Begin by sprinkling the Cajun seasoning generously over both sides of the chicken breasts, rubbing it in gently and evenly.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until they’re golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Set them aside on a plate to rest.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Sauté them until they’re softened and fragrant. Pour in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for a few minutes.
- Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and an extra sprinkle of Cajun magic, adjusting the flavors to your liking.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for a few more minutes, allowing it to soak up all the delicious flavors.
- Serve your Cajun chicken hot and fresh, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of color and freshness. This dish goes great with fried rice.

]]>Not Your Typical Grill
Shawarma is made not by using your typical barbecue, but it’s just as delicious. No, shawarma is cooked rotisserie style, but vertically instead of horizontally. As far as what’s being cooked, it actually varies. You can go the chicken route, which is essentially baby chicken cutlets that have been seasoned, marinated, and stacked on a rotisserie pole.
But if you’re less about the chicken and enjoy meat more, there are lamb and cow options as well. Indeed, there are many different styles of shawarma, but the consistency lies mainly in how it’s prepared and cooked. Once the shawarma is cooked, it’s cut off of the rotisserie pole and placed in a laffa (a Middle-Eastern bread) or pita, where it’s then accompanied with veggies, hummus, and anything else of your choosing.
