One again – EASY and delicious are the highlights of this meal. The few ingredients can essentially be thrown together. The soup is basically tomato sauce and cream. (For a healthier fare, I used fat-free half and half – and it came out great.) 2 cans tomato sauce (24 oz each) 1 cup broth 1 cup fat-free half-and half Package frozen spinach (or fresh if you have it) 2 tablespoons sugar 3 tablespoons balsamic...
General Tso Eggplant and Mock Chicken
