quick and tasty lunching when home alone

Just because you happen to be lunching home alone doesn’t mean that the lunch needs to dull or just a sad mix of all kids leftovers with some sauce and cheese on top (although sometimes that needs to be done too if you don’t want to throw all that food away), not does it need to take a long time to prepare. This quick and tasty meal only took 5 minutes to put together and was pure bliss to enjoy, but you either need to have made your soup in advance or have a reserve container ready in the fridge.

The butternut squash soup is spiced up with savory croutons and fresh mint, and the toast is topped with Swiss cheese, Italian ham and little plum (cherry) tomatoes. Cut some fruit to go with it, add a glass of Pellegrino and maybe some wine (think of Mediterranean business lunches), and you are all set. A little tasty highlight to a day working from home!
