So I'm having a nasty summer cold in my chest and I think I'm needing some comfort food. I know it's summer time but soup was what I needed :).

Directions
ALEXIS NOTES: As you know I have thing with chicken on the bone I hate working with it! So I did this a little different I cut up the chicken and cooked it up. I added the liquids and cranked it up, yes I started late and didn't have 90 minutes for it to cook!

ALEXIS NOTES: I love this recipe I usually do half whole wheat and a little less salt. This one I found about 2 months back and have made it about 10 times. We love our bread here!

And to end the night Jello it feels so good for your throat. Plus I'm cheap and the boys wanted fruit and jello cups.

Yes for the ones that count I'm one less in the fridge come to find out it makes 7 cups instead of the 8 I planned for. I'm loving these little reusable cups.

So there is my comfort food, enjoy!!
It's my time of the month and boy does this sound soothing!
ReplyDeleteYUM! i don't know why i always want soup when its so darn hot out...but i do! lol and this one looks really yummy!
ReplyDeletei was going to make myself some sugar free jello to go with my fat free cool whip yesterday...but to my surprise...no jello!! crap.
hope you're feeling better!!
Chicken soup is always good! We've never had biscuits with it, but it sounds like a good combination.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you like chicken on the bone?
ReplyDeleteYou get so much flavor from the bones....
Sounds so yummie.. I make my own chicken soup to but use the slow cooker. I cook the chicken legs and then while doing that turn on the slow cooker and put the carrots and celery in there and two tablespoons chicken flavored cubes. I dont use the cubes though.I buy the big jars.. and then I cook the chicken for about 20 minutes and then pour the water from that into my slow cooker since I only put enough water at the bottom to cover the carrots and celery. and then debone the chicken and put chicken in slow cooker..
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy. I saw a recipe for peppercorn schnapps that said it was good for a cold. Neither of these are good for me on a hot day when I'm having hot flashes! I'll have to wait for cooler weather!
