Have about two cups of left over grilled chicken, and am going to make some soup.

Am thinking a minestrone type of soup.

Onion, bacon crumbles, Zuc. stewed tomatoes, shell noodles, beef broth, etc.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Don't spill any on your keyboard !

Toss in some Cannellini beans.

Or a chicken pot pie.

+1 chicken pot pie.

But I use left over roasted chicken with ramen noodles cooked with "Better than Bouillon" seasoning, adding green onions, carrots, mushrooms, celery and bok choy (sometimes I add red chili powder for a bit of kick). Kinda a faux Pho.

"Better than Bouillon" is good stuff, use the chicken and the beef. Chicken dumpling soup?

Thanks for the ideas!

I decided to go ahead and make soup with my left over chicken.

It turned out pretty good! Recipe to follow:



2C diced, broiled chicken

1/2 cup bacon crumbles

I can stewed tomatoes

2 cans broth, one chicken, one beef

1 can white beans

1 Zuc. sliced and quartered

1/2 large onion, diced

2 stalks celery diced

Spices;

1 tsp fresh diced Rosemary

1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

1 tsp Jane's season salt

1 frozen cube garlic

1 frozen cube basil


I grilled the onion and celery in bacon grease, added the rest of ingredients, brought to a low boil, then simmered for two hours.

That sounds great. I may give it a try.

Sounds good

how do you slice AND quarter something?

Well....
You could slice it, then quarter them.
Or you could quarter it, then slice them.

I quartered THEN sliced, sorry for the confusion. (and, the "slices were about a quarter inch thick!) Grin!
