Cheap, easy, nutritious, and filling soup to take to work every day? (beehaw.org)

I have a tiny fridge so I need something I can put in my chest freezer and microwave portions of it to put in a thermos. I'm hoping for minimal prep work, though I have a Vitamix if that helps. I already eat the same thing every day, that I buy from work for 6 dollars. Not ideal. I'm thinking I can bring the soup and some crackers or something.

Spanish lentils soup.

Fry some onion, garlic and chorizo (you can fry it directly in the pot with some olive oil).

Add water, lentils, potatoes, tomatoes, bay leaf, salt.

Cook.

Eat.

Delicious. It's maybe 15 minutes of chopping and hour or two of cooking. If you have some pressure cooker it's fast and easy. Without it it takes longer but it's still really easy, just stir from time to time. Try it once to figure out the proportions but it's hard to mess up.
