Well here is something that I have done many times, but this is the first time since I made the blog.
So here we go.....
Ingredients:
1 can of Chicken Noodle Soup (I used Cambell's)
1 can of Peas
1 Boneless Skinless chicken breast
olive oil
garlic
oregano
red pepper (flakes)
How to:
I started by cutting the chicken into cubes and then I heated up some olive oil in order to brown the chicken. I added some garlic as the chicken browned. After cooking the chicken for a little longer I added the oregano, red pepper flakes, and a bit more garlic all while I kept the chicken moving (so it doesn't stick and picks up the spices that didn't land on the chicken).
And since the Cambell's soup already has a lot of salt in, I don't bother adding anymore.
Then I opened the can of Chicken noodle soup, and added enough water to cover the chicken in the pot. I let it cook until it was bubbling before adding the peas.
At this point I just let it simmer. And served myself.
Regrets:
1) Use an additional vegetable.
2) Brown chicken longer
3) In past makes of this I cooked elbow noodles or rice and added that, more noodles=better.
Taste Test:
As you would expect chicken noodle soup to taste, but with the added chunks of meat and peas this simple meal is a great way to make the most out of a can of soup.
I give it a 7.5 out of 10.
Worth a second try!?:
Yeah definitely, since I even told you that this isn't the first time I have done this! There is some room for improvement, but I don't think it will get too much better than an 8 out of 10. Maybe add a larger variety of veggies, the pasta/rice addition, maybe even add some little potato cubes. We shall see what all that can do....
