I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Chicken Pot "Not Pie" Soup

I am not a huge fan of Chicken Pot Pie, but Kyle loves it. After making those mini Pot Pies, I decided this soup would probably be better. This recipe will make a lot so I would cut the recipe in half if it's just 2 or 3 of you eating it.



Ingredients:
1/4 cup Flour
2 cups Water
4 cups Milk
1 large Celery stalk (I used 4 pieces from a container)
1/2 medium Onion
2 Chicken bouillons
1 tsp. Thyme
1 can of Corn
1 can of Peas
3 large Carrots; peeled and sliced
2 Potatoes; peeled and cubed small
1 bunch of Green Onions; chopped
16 oz. cooked Chicken breasts; diced small (I used 3 Chicken breasts)
Salt and Pepper
1 tsp. Cayenne pepper
1 tsp. Chili powder

What To Do:
  • Cook your Chicken breasts if you haven't done so already
  • Dice Chicken into small pieces (I set some aside for mine and shredded it)
  • Pour 1 1/2 cups of water and your milk into a large pot and slowly bring to a boil
  • Add celery, onion, carrots, potatoes, chicken bouillons, and thyme and return to a boil
  • Partially cover and simmer on low until veggies are tender (About 10 min.)
  • While veggies are cooking, in a bowl, combine the rest of your water- 1/2 cup with the flour and whisk until well blended; set aside
  • Remove lid and add corn, peas, green onions, salt/pepper, cayenne pepper, and chili powder (cook for another 5 min.)
  • Add chicken and slowly whisk in your water and flour mixture
  • Cook another 2 minutes until soup thickens
