Building a Soup the Quick and Easy Way

Homemade soups are wonderful ~ I’d probably eat soup at least once a day if it was on hand! Lately, I’ve been experimenting with building homemade-like soup from store-bought ingredients, leftovers and resources already in the kitchen cab – kinda like a Sandra Lee Semi-Homeade approach!

►For example, I’m serving chicken soup and buttered bread this evening. Here’s what I’m combining for the soup:

leftover baked chicken breasts and rice

32 oz container chicken broth + one 32 oz can water

26 oz can cream of chicken soup

1 can kernel corn, with juices

12 or so baby carrots, diced

►Now what? Just put it all in a big stockpot and heat til boiling. Butter your bread and there ya go!

  2. Laurie, This is a genius recipe! I love "quick and easy but tastes like you've fussed all day".
    What about trading out the cream of chicken soup for cheese soup and adding a can of rinsed black beans and a taco seasoning packet. And putting crushed tortillas on the top~ Mexican chicken soup!
    This is FUN! I can think of so many combinations that would taste great. And adding things like tortelini, macaroni, and canned chili to make even more options.
    I am so glad to stop by, I just got so inspired!
    Kudos to you!
