Winter Soup...

• My grandmother used to make great soups...which is why they probably are one of my favorite meals to have...

• Over the years, I've taken her simple recipe for chicken soup and modified it...Quick and easy to make...

• Add some water to a large pot, throw in uncut pieces of chicken breast or chicken strips and add a container of organic chicken broth...Allow to simmer for awhile...

• Once the meat is cooked (should start to fall part), remove the pieces of chicken on to a plate to allow to cool...

• Chop up some potatoes (two or three large ones) and throw them into the simmering broth.  You can also add baby carrots and celery if you have them around (I like the soup either way)...Once the potatoes are cooked - add a half box or half bag of bow tie pasta and let the whole thing simmer...

• In the end, after the chicken has cooled a little - chop up or break up the meat and return it all to the simmering soup to combine everything...Add some salt and pepper to flavor to your liking...

• This takes no time at all - and is probably one of my favorite family meals when you need to do something quick and easy...
