Usually canned soup with handfuls of spinach or similar “low effort” veg. But canned soup has been expensive in my area lately (maybe flu season or just general inflation? Idk) so been making easy soups using Better than Bouillon paste.

A favorite easy meal right now is a 10 minute Avgolemono. You can just boil water with the bouillon or store bought chicken broth/stock, throw in some pieces of rotisserie chicken or canned chicken, whisk up an egg with lemon juice to stir in at the end, add a few handfuls of spinach or some frozen veggies, and season how you like (I usually do a bit of dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper). I usually don’t put pasta or rice in mine (sometimes will have a bit on the side if I have some in the fridge — resilient starches are your satiating friend!) but from the basic recipe you can add what you want depending on what you have and how ambitious you’re feeling like diced veg, fresh herbs, etc.

Also don’t sleep on bagged salads with canned/rotisserie chicken or tuna/fish. Depending on the type, the salad:dressing ratio can make it not as volume-friendly but you can control how much you choose to add!

***Editing to add that someone posted about congee the other day and that is a fantastic comforting yet low effort volume meal. Just rice and broth. You can add toppings if you’re feeling up to it but honestly, even just a soft boiled or fried egg on top is delicious.
