This is for my DH for the wood he hauls and the outside work, and for starting my car on freezing mornings. It is a fast and simple soup to warm the cockels in a hurry. This isn't a soup you slave over, it really is a quik soup to warm anyone up on a blustery day. Ingredients:
2 quarts chicken broth (i use homemade but canned will do just fine) |
2 carrots, sliced thin discs |
1 stalk celery, sliced |
1 medium onion, sliced 1/8ths |
1 cup cooked chicken, cut into pieces (can buy deli chicken in a 1/2 lb chunk and cube, or 6 oz.can of chicken meat) |
8 ounces corn (frozen or canned) |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1 teaspoon basil, crushed |
salt and pepper |
1/4 lb egg noodles (optonal) or 1/4 lb pasta, of choice (optonal) |
Directions:
1. slice up carrots and celery put into pot.
2. add in chicken broth, bring to rolling boil for 5 minute.
3. add in remaining ingredients.
4. simmer on stove while DH works hard.
5. note: if adding noodles, add in last 10 min of simmer to cook al dente).
6. *** I usually cook my pasta seperate so it does not mush in the soup for leftovers, but can be cooked in the pot with the soup.
7. *** for a quicker version and I have done this- using canned mixed vegetables instead of fresh and add to broth and chicken, simmer til warmed.
8. Serve with a crusty bread or a grilled chees sandwich and a hot toddy. :-).
