Soup Anyone?

I happened to get out an old holiday edition of Southern Living, Home for the Holidays. I have to get my mind headed in that direction. Anyway, as I was flipping through, I saw a dog-eared page I had marked that was titled "Hearty Souper Suppers." I made the "Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup" and it was divine! So easy, so hearty and sooo good. I served it with my homemade pimento cheese and triscuits. I thought I'd share the recipe...

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter

1 large onion chopped

1-1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken (I used half a rotissere from Publix)

1 can chicken broth

1 can cream of chicken and mushroom condensed soup

1 cup pasta cooked (I used small pasta)

3 celery ribs diced

3 carrots diced

1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

sharp cheddar cheese to sprinkle on top

Directions:

Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add onion, celery, carrot and saute until tender.

Stir in chicken broth, chicken, cream of chicken/mushroom soup, poultry seasoning, pepper.

Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes.

Stir in milk.

Add salt.

Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with cheese and wha-la dinner is served.

This could easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd. This fed my family of 3 with leftovers for lunch...Enjoy!
