I usually serve soup and sandwiches for our light meal at work. I'm always on the look out for easy, tasty soups. I was searching on the internet and found this one. I think it was from Betty Crocker. I was pleasantly surprised how tasty it was. Anyone have good, simple soup recipes to share?
Quick Chicken Soup
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 cup frozen peas
2 stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)
2 medium carrots, chopped (1 cup)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
7 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 dried bay leaf
1 cup uncooked pasta, egg noodles or rotini (4 ounces)
Heat all ingredients except pasta in 4 qt. Dutch oven. Bring to boiling and add pasta. Bring back to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until pasta and vegetables are tender. Discard bay leaf.
Kaitlin, Gretchen and Molly spent a week with Grandpa and Grandma in their condo in Alabama. It sure sounds like they had a wonderful time. Lots of laughs. They lucked out and the weather was pretty good so they did come home with a tan. Yesterday, Molly said, "Oh, I miss Grandpa and Grandma!" What a special treat to spend this time alone with their grandparents. They told me that they weren't ready to come home. I told them that grandpa and grandma probably were ready for them to leave. They said no, Grandpa said, "I don't want you girls to leave, now I'll have to do the dishes again." I do think my Mom and Dad did enjoy having them.
I was taking pictures of this homemade bread when:
Kaitlin, Gretchen and Molly went to visit Grandpa and Grandma in Alabama. It appears they found some sun. It sounds like they're having a grand time!
Definitely still winter here. But the daffodils are coming up so Spring can't be too far away!
