Monday I hit a couple of food sales, one of which was a ten pound bag of chicken drumsticks for $5.99.
I had been craving homemade chicken soup. I claim the title for world's best chicken soup maker. Move over Paula Dean, Martha Stewart, Emeril Lagasse and whoever else makes chicken soup, mine is good!
But its a lot of work, and I have sworn off cooking.
. . . But the chicken I just bought was staring me in the face, so I finally just quit whining and got started.
First thing is to dig around in the veggie drawers in the fridge. I try to have at least 10 different fresh veggies in each batch. I was watching TV and chopping veggies during the commercials so it took quite a while to make. If I don't have enough fresh, I add frozen peas or corn.
I had already used up all my calories for the day so I couldn't eat any of the soup when it was finished.So that what I had for dinner last night - a big bowl of chicken soup, a few saltine crackers and a fudgsicle. I made a bunch of soup. I packed 6 lovely meal size portions in containers for the freezer. so my chicken soup cravings will be covered for a few weeks.
For tonight, I have half a can of chili in the fridge that I have to use up, so I'll probably have that on potatoes, maybe with peas on top. I've been hooked on peas the last few days. Happy eating, y'all!
Smooches,
Keri
