My new favorite soup recipe
Hello friends!
I said I was going to blog every Friday and here I am! First, I have to share that the outpouring of love on my adoption update post was incredibly moving. Thank you for all your support, prayers, and love. We can feel them all.
Not only did I want this to be a place to be our family journal, memory book, share our adoption & fertility journey, but I also wanted this to be a place to share the things I love. One of those things is cooking. I love nothing more than gathering around a table with our family, friends, and sharing a meal. I am on a newer meal & fitness plan and so I have had to get a little more creative in what I make. I made this soup last week and well we loved it! So here is the recipe for you!
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
Onion, carrot, celery trio diced from Trader Joe’s(if you don’t have TJ about 1/2 cup of each)
1 container of baby bellas sliced
4 oz cream cheese
Bag of baby carrots—I like the different colored ones
Chicken stock—I like TJ’s organic
Zoe’s greek seasoning
Minced garlic
Riced Cauliflower—the frozen TJ’s is my fave
Shaved Parm
Steps:
Preheat your oven to 425. When ready, roast chicken seasoned with Zoe’s for 20 minutes. Shred when it comes out of the oven.
Take out your cream cheese and let it get room temp.
In a dutch oven or a crockpot with stove top setting on, sauté your onion/celery/carrot diced mixture in a little olive oil & add Zoe’s seasoning until transparent. I would add 2 tablespoons of seasoning and taste. You can add more later.
Next add your minced garlic. Now I don’t measure this, and just scoop out what feels good. I love garlic so the more the merrier for me!
Next, add your sliced mushrooms and cook until soft.
Dice your cream cheese into chunks, and add to veggies and stir until smooth and melted.
Add your chicken stock. I don’t add the whole 32 oz box but almost. Add your whole carrots & shredded chicken.
Let simmer on the stove top for 2 hrs, or high in your crockpot for 2-3 hrs.
When you are ready to serve, cook the cauliflower rice according to the instructions on the bag, and then add to the soup.
Serve in bowls, topped with shaved parm cheese and you have a very yummy dinner my friend! Add a green salad for more veggies & color to your plate!!
Enjoy!
xoxo,
A
