Put Down The Can!

That's right, you heard it! Put down a can of soup and MAKE YOUR OWN! 

 

Why is fresh soup better than canned?

YOU are in charge of what goes in your soup.  How much vegetables, chicken, and sodium!
YOU also aren't going to add any chemicals to preserve the soup and make it last longer.

Alternative to canned soup: Caitlin's Chicken Soup! (NO noodles necessary)

 

Sure, I may sound biased, but this is honestly one of the best chicken soups I've ever had -- and SUPER easy to make.

-2 chicken thighs

-2 cups of carrots

-handful of celery, chopped

-white onion cut in half

-one brown russet potato

-one cup of brown rice

-halved ear of corn

-12 garlic cloves

Put all ingredients covered in water (fill water in large pot about half way to 3/4ths of the way) until chicken meat is falling off the bone.  Remove chicken from pot and pulverize.  Add chicken back, bones and all, and continue to boil after all ingredients are soft.  Should take around 30-45 minutes, just stab at the food until it feels right! 

It's as simple as that! NO noodles, No chicken broth, and NO chemicals.  Add a teaspoon of garlic salt, LOTS of pepper for a smokey taste, and ENJOY!

Don't know how much longer I'll be able to wear 28's! :-D
