It's been happening in the car on the way home from church as of late. A scrap of paper found, a pencil fished out from the glove compartment. The week is sketched out and a list is made. Then we pull in to the grocery store and make it happen. It's not very thoughtful, but it's reasonably efficient. Then home we head to make a big pot of something -this week chicken soup, and another dish to help us get a head start on the week.
Monday: Lentil Walnut Loaf from Food52
Tuesday: Pasta, an easy red sauce and roasted broccoli
Wednesday: Leftover Chicken Soup
Thursday: Baked Beans and Cornbread southern style -More With Less Edition
Friday: Pizza
My sister's chicken soup recipe is fast and delicious and it's what I use.
1 Whole Chicken, or parts, at least 2 breasts and thighs
2-3 carrots chopped
2-3 celery stalks chopped
2-4 potatoes chopped
salt(!)
chicken bouillon
Fill your favorite pot for making soup with water and bring to a boil.
Generously salt the water and place the chicken or chicken pieces in the water.
Chop your vegetables -celery, carrots and potatoes.
Once chicken is cooked through -remove and set aside to cool and shred.
Don't dump the water.
Add your vegetables to your pot, first the carrots and celery followed by potatoes after a few minutes.
Cook through.
Add back the chicken meat shredded.
Along the way be tasting and adding enough salt and additional chicken bouillon until it's just right.
