chicken soup

[chazza]

Does anyone have a good recipe for creamy chicken soup, made with chicken breast instead of chicken bones? i live on my own so wouldnt eat a whole chicken and was wondering if i could make it with chicken breast and stock cubes instead?

Hi Chazza -
I live alone too and this is a quick creamy chicken/turkey soup I make sometimes.
A can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup - add chopped or torn leftover chicken or turkey - rosemary to taste - I like to put some frozen green peas in mine - but you might like frozen mixed vegetables or whatever your fav is. Heat it thru in the microwave or a saucepan and you have dinner!!!

Hi Again Chazza -
If you want to use stock cubes instead of Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup - dissolve the cubes in milk or water and use a roux to thicken it (equal parts of butter and flour mixed together to form a paste) - it has to come to a boil before it reaches maximum thickening so doing a small amount at first is usually best - add chopped or torn leftover chicken or turkey - rosemary to taste - I like to put some frozen green peas in mine - but you might like frozen mixed vegetables or whatever your fav is.

Even if you live on your own couldn't you cook a small chicken, eat some for one meal, then either use the remains for another meal or freeze them and also make a soup?
