A slow cooker can be your best friend. Put a large piece of meat, two or three potatoes, a diced onion, and two cups of water in one on low before work and you'll have the start f a great meal when you come home.
Chop the meat into bite-sized pieces, add some stewed tomatoes, dice the potatoes, and another cup of water along with a package of gravy and a couple of cans of vegetables, and you have a great stew.
Chowder is not that hard. Two cans of 12-ounce condensed milk, a few cans of vegetables, two cups of milk, and a pound of clam meat or other sea food, ad you have a decent sea food chowder.
There are a number of great vegetarian options as well. Using the stew, take out the meat and substitute a pound of red kidney beans that soaked overnight.
Chicken noodle soup is even easier, but takes some prep. You need to boil a chicken off the night before; in a stew pot put enough water to fill it halfway, as well as some pepper and garlic salt. When it boils throw in a whole chicken. Boil long enough so that the water reduces to just covering the chicken. Pull the chicken out, let it cool, and then pick the meat off. Store the meat and the water until morning. In the morning, throw all of that in the pot with two cups each of celery and carrots with two cups of any small noodle, such as elbow macaroni or egg noodles. When you come in you should have a great soup!
