  Quinn still pretty much eats soup every day for lunch.  Most of the time I make it, sometimes I use canned.  He doesn't care much for the broth... but, ideally, that should be okay if you want him to feed himself - the chunky stuff is easy to eat.  Quinn can feed himself off the spoon now with a little supervision - or just put the pieces on the tray and he can eat them himself.

  Quesadillas are another favorite - pretty easy... you could add some veggies (i think one of my trick-your-kids-into-eating-vegetables cookbooks says you can make veggie purees, mix the cheese in and spread it on the tortillas, so the veggie is kind of disguised) - or my mom sometimes put apple slices in our quesadillas. 

  I would think nutbutter on toast with some cottage cheese or something would make a good lunch. 

  Quinn eats a lot of string cheese too (usually for snacks but sometimes with his soup) - cut up into little rounds.  

  I've also made big batches of apple/carrot/zucchini muffins and pumpkin pancakes which are easy finger foods but still pack the veggie punch.
