Man, I made some good soup tonight, in between rants over on the LoCal side.

Chunky homemade mushroom soup!

1 C. regular Progresso mushroom soup.
1-1/2 pkgs. of chopped white mushrooms.
2 bell peppers
1/2 yellow onion from the garden
2 stalks celery
about 1 C. elbow macaroni
pinch of celery salt
pinch of black pepper

I took my biggest knife and cut up the veggies into 1/2 to 1 inch cubes.
Mixed all of them up, and sauteed about half of them.
Boiled the macaroni, drained it.
added the soup, the sauteed veggies and mushrooms, and a little water, far less than the can of water suggested.
Allowing this mix to boil again, I added the rest of the veggies.

This made for some good eatin', with the flavor of the sauteed vegetables, and the crisper ones too.
Probably about 20000 calories, since I used Land-0-Lakes butter to sautee...
But I can always convince myself that it was a 'lo-cal' dish.

I had some homemade buscuit dough still in the fridge, so I popped three into the oven at the same time.
It was all so tasty that I decided against driving tonight to Tyler Texas to meet my newest friend. Rather, I watched the demise of the New York Yankees. Dessert!~
