Soup in a Box?

So, I have to share something with you. Brace yourself. Boxed Soup. (Do not feel ashamed if you have the same confused look on your face that I did while staring at the Giada de Larentis section in Target.)

Giada is a soup genious. For $2.99 I got this:

And it was super simple!

Step 1: Sautee 3 strips of bacon or pancetta until crispy.

Step 2: Throw in entire box (4 cups) of Chicken broth.

Step 3: Throw in Seasoning packet and dried bean packet from Giada's box. Cook for 20 minutes.

Step 4: Throw in an entire bag of baby spinach.

Then stare at a fancy pot of soup that was absolutely no-fuss, grab a heaping ladleful spoonful, and enjoy!
