This is great when you're getting over having a cold - or at other times, too. If you don't like it too spicy, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper. The salsa is definitely optional. You can alter the recipe a great deal just by changing the vegetable combination. I cook the chicken in the microwave because it's quick and easy. I use canned chicken broth and chop the vegetables fresh, though you could buy the veggies frozen. I buy jars of minced garlic to have on hand for other cooking. Makes a good-sized potful. Ingredients:
9 cups chicken broth |
3 -4 chicken breasts, cooked and cut into bite-sized chunks |
3 cups vegetables, sliced (onion, celery, and carrots) |
3/4 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced |
3/4 tablespoon dried oregano |
3 tablespoons salsa |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
8 ounces bow tie pasta |
Directions:
1. Heat the broth almost to boiling.
2. Add vegetables and seasonings.
3. Simmer for maybe half an hour to soften vegetables.
4. Add the pasta and chicken.
5. Simmer until the pasta and veggies are done.
