Brooke's Chicken Soup


Tonight I wanted to come up with something new that I had never made before. I created this soup without a recipe & it actually turned out really good. My husband & I have both been battling winter colds, so soup was a perfect dinner! Also, I sprinkled a little bit of shredded chedder on top, I am a proud American, you can never have too much cheese!

Brooke's Chicken Soup

2-3 boneless chicken breasts
1 can of corn
1 can of pinto beans
1/2 an onion (diced)
2-3 cubes of Wyler's instant bouillon (chicken)
1 small can of tomato paste
Dash or two of garlic powder & seasoning salt (to taste)
about 4 cups of water
Pinch of dried thyme
Shredded chedder for the top!

I cooked the chicken separately first in a saute pan. I also carmelized the onions before adding to my crockpot with the other ingredients. I drained all of the water out of the corn & beans cans, so that I could control the amount of salt better. I slow cooked my soup on low heat for several hours in my crockpot, it lets the flavors get married to each other & it makes the chicken tender. If you don't have a crock pot, you can slow cook the soup on your stove top in a cast iron pan or a regular pot either will work!

I am loving my warm & happy tummy! Thank you God that I never go hungry: I am blessed!
Until next time!
