So I am making some soup for a friend who is going through a rough time. It started out to be ordinary chicken soup but it is changing fast. Here is what I have done so far:
Melted a stick of butter and softened up one good size yellow onion and about 6 minced cloves of garlic. I then added three good size boneless chicken thighs that had been well salted and peppered. I let them saute in the butter mixture for a while.
Next I added two cans of chicken broth. A few cups of water too. I let that boil until the chicken was falling apart and done.
Next was the addition of about two cups of baby carrots. Then I added about four peeled and chopped russet potatoes and some rough chopped cabbage. I tasted the broth and was not too happy.
Next I added a can of Hunt's chopped tomatoes (they are my favorite because they are flash steamed to peel not chemical treated) and one can of Hunt's tomato paste. I sprinkled in some dried basil., and oregano. NOW it smells good! I have to let this simmer awhile to let the potatoes finish cooking and then I think I will be able to quit adding things to it!!
