It's a blustery, snowy day outside and I want to make soup.

My favorite cold weather soup is Chicken Velvet. The recipe is very forgiving, and I don't do a lot of measuring.

 

Make a rue with flour and butter to use as a thickening agent. Add 1 part chicken broth, 1 part milk (cream or 1/2 n 1/2 works too). Add chopped up cooked chicken breast.

 

You can leave it like this, but I usually add one or two other things, depending on what I have on hand. Cooked egg noodles, corn/other vegies, or rice are typical.

 

I serve this with french bread and a salad or cole slaw.

thai chicken noodle soup

 

1 quart chicken broth

some grated fresh ginger (1-3tsp.)

1/2 lemon squeezed

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (opt)

 

rice noodles

leftover chicken (opt)

simmer till noodles are done

 

salt or fish sauce to taste

 

cilantro or green onion chopped added in at the end

 

 

also coconut milk is great in this if you like that sort of thing

 

this is my favorite easy winter soup. the ginger really heats it up.

one of our family favorites...potato soup but I add about a cup of frozen whole kernel corn and shrimp. We moved from Louisiana and we used to buy a soup from a meat shop there that had shrimp and corn chowder...awesome!! so, one day I just decided to kick up the potato soup recipe I had.
