Yummy Surprises

So, the other night Sarah and I decided to make some soup. It turned out to be pretty tasty! We used some leftover vegetable broth and one cube of chicken bouillon. It called for two cups of water, so that's what we added. We goofed a little bit by not sautéing the veggies (carrots, mushrooms, onion and garlic) ahead of time before adding the liquid. However, we survived.

We separately stir fried the veggies (by we I mean Sarah), and I added the chopped, raw chicken breast to the simmering broth. While all this was going on, I remembered that we were going to put potatoes in the mix and I had recently found some purple potatoes in the fridge from last fall. Well, by this time, the chicken was almost already cooked and the veggies were ready to go in the mix. I used our potato peeler that is way too dull, chopped the potatoes and then nuked them to catch up with the rest of the stuff in the pot. I am quite the thinker....actually this was Sarah's idea.

We seasoned the soup with seasonings, but I couldn't tell you what went in, because I was busy cleaning some sticky brown substance that had accrued beneath our produce drawers in the fridge. Or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

Needless to say, it turned out to be really yummy. We paired it with a salad with radishes and $1.49 ShurSavings Italian dressing. Mmmwahh!
