Chicken Stoup

Well, I've been cooking up a storm here at the farm.  

My mother has had knee surgery and has come to stay for awhile.

I've been trying to make some comfort food, so yesterday I made "Chicken Stoup".

It's not soup and it's not stew.

It's both!

Somehow when I start these recipes, I deviate and end up with something totally different.

Here's what I did.....

Chicken Stoup

2 Cans low sodium chicken broth

1 onion diced

~Put these two ingredients into a stock pot and simmer until onions become soft~

In a frying pan, put .....

1 Tbl butter

1/3 Cup orzo

Toast the orzo until golden, then add...

3/4 Cup of brown rice

2 cans of low sodium chicken broth

Simmer until rice is cooked.

(This is Rice A Roni! Homemade! No preservatives! Shhhh don't tell anyone!)

I shredded some left over baked chicken (about 2 chicken breast) and threw that in the Onion/broth pot, then added 2 stocks of chopped celery, and laid about 4 handfuls of fresh snowpeas on the top of everything to steam.

Add your rice mixture, stir, and your done!!

I feel like I was up all night.  I had to switch the ice water in the little cooler that stays on her knee every 2 -3 hours.  So we're having a fireplace, PJ, coffee, comfort food, napping Netflix, day!!
