Vegetable Chicken Soup!

Ingredients:

Chicken...

I boil and bake chicken some times and pull it from the bone and freeze it... that is what is in the Ziploc bag.... you will need a few pieces of the chicken.

Maggi chicken cubes (I used 4), Salt, Pepper, Red crushed Pepper Flakes

Cumin, Sage powder, 2 lil smaller than Med Potatoes

And

2-3 Carrots, Parsley, 2Green onions, 2 Celery stalks + leaves, 1/2 Yellow Onion, 1/2 Sweet Pepper or a *1 Hot Pepper. *Note the hot pepper will not be hot when you take all of the seeds and the white flesh from the insides.....1/2 cup Barley sml, 1/2 cup frozen Choped Spinach and 1 each..Can Corn and String Beans (Green Beans)

Peel and dice potatoes into sml size set aside, dice the celery, carrots, Pepper, onion. For the Celery leaves, green onion and Parsley coursey chop and set aside.

Dice the chicken into pieces sized below, set aside

In a large stock pot on med heat add your diced Onions, carrots, celery, salt, peppers, cumin, sage, bay leaf, black pepper. Add a lil oil to the pot and saute the veggies til the onions are transparent....see below

This is what it will look like when veggies are done

Now add your water and maggie cubes... still on med heat stir to help the cubes to dissolve... add salt at this time if needed...

Now add the potatoes, can corn, string beans (Green beans), barley, spinach, green onion, parsley and celery leaves and chicken pieces.

stir.... Bring to a boil, and and then simmer for an 30 min... I did for an hour, I am old fashioned....

Serve with biscuits, crusty bread or corn bread...

Enjoy...insh'Allah

Quoting AzIzAzIzA:

okay its not really soup-but it could be kind of like a soup.  Its Chili.  Since being here I have been freezing and somehow my DH bought a whole case of kidney beans.  So its easy and quick.  This is a recipe I took offline but i always tweek mine a little, depending on what i have in the house. This will warm you up REEEEAAAAAALLLLLLL NICE :)

2 bean chili 

   * Ingredients:
    * 1 lb. ground turkey, beef
    * 1 medium onion, chopped
    * 1 green pepper, chopped
    * 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    * 1- 28 oz. can whole tomatoes (DO NOT DRAIN)
    * 1- 32 oz. box of low-sodium chicken stock
    * 1- 15 oz. can red kidney beans, drain and rinse
    * 1- 15 oz. can great northern beans, drain and rinse
    * Dried Seasoning:
    * 1 tsp. salt (use less if you want lower sodium and depending on your taste, but the dish needs salt)
    * 1/8 tsp. pepper
    * 1 tbsp. ground cumin
    * 1 tbsp. chili powder
    * 1 tsp. oregano
    * pinch of cinnamon

Directions:

Brown onion, green pepper and garlic in a large pot in extra virgin olive oil. When onions are translucent, add meat.  Brown until no longer pink.  Add dried seasoning, except for cinnamon, and mix well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes and the juice to meat mixture and crush with a potato masher or fork. You want meat to be broken into small pieces as well.

Add beans and broth. Mix together.  Add the pinch of cinnamon.  You’d be surprised at what the cinnamon does.

My family likes to garnish each dish differently...sometimes with chopped onions and shredded cheese, sometimes on baked potatoes with sour cream, sometimes with crackers, etc...you get the idea. 

By using your own seasonings, you reduce the sodium in the dish and you know exactly what you are getting. This is such a great dish that I use it at football parties, family gatherings, and wherever you need alot of food.

A few changes can be made to this dish. If you want, you can use tomato juice in place of the broth. Or if you want a more soupy chili, you can add the tomato juice with the broth.

*you can make it a dish instead of a soup by putting it on rice.  DH never had it before and actually liked it with rice. 

 

Chilli goes in the other thread... the one for American dishes... Please insh'Allah post it there... Or you can add it there too... like you said it can be like a soup if one was to add more water to it.....
