Chicken Pot Pie Soup...

This is such a perfect soup for cold and snowy days...

Well, actually I can eat soup any time of year!

This is a very creamy soup and the homemade pie crust bites, 

they add a nice touch of crunch all the way to the bottom of your bowl!

I bet you can't eat just one bowl!

Yeah.. it's that good!

Enjoy!

Creamy Potato Soup

I have made this soup for as long as I can remember and it is

one of those comfort foods that is a must for me.  I can eat soup all year round.

 There's just something about a cup of hot soup that really speaks "cozy" to me.

 

So, I thought I'd share it with you! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

 

Creamy Potato Soup

 

1 pkg. bacon, chopped

1 c. chopped onion

4 c. cubed potatoes

2 cans cream of chicken soup

2 soup cans of milk

1 clove garlic, chopped

1 green onion, chopped finely

salt and pepper, to taste

 

In a large pot, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from pan. Pour off all but 3 Tbsp. of the fat, add the onion and garlic, brown slightly. Add potatoes and enough water to cover the top of the potatoes, about 2 cups. Cook, covered until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

 Combine the soup and milk, stir until smooth. Add to the potatoes. Heat but do not bring to a boil. Stir in your salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the bacon and the green onion just before serving.

*I sometimes add fresh green chilies and a dash of cayenne pepper for a hint of heat,

which my hubby loves!

 

 

 

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to your bones.

Homemade Goodness

 

Here's what you'll need:

 

About 8 cups chicken stock ( I make my own)

Cooked Chicken, diced up

2 Celery Stocks, cleaned and chopped

3-4 Carrots, cleaned and chopped

2 Cups Cooked wide egg noodles, rinsed and drained 

( I like to use the thick grandma style noodles)

2 Garlic Cloves, diced

Fresh or dried green onion

salt and pepper to taste

 

If you don't have chicken stock on hand you can make it using chicken bouillon cubes.

 Add about 1 cube per 1 cup water into a large soup pot. Stir in the celery and the carrots, bring to a slight boil and cook until veggies are crisp tender, about 20 minutes or so. Add in cooked chicken, garlic, green onion and spices.  Stir in cooked noodles. 

Simmer until ready to eat.

 

Jesus said to him,

"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart,

with all your soul and with all your mind."
