Quick Chicken Soup-Candace

Full of down-home flavor, this classic chicken noodle soup can be on your table in 20 minutes or less.

Total: 20 minutes
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1 cup)
Ingredients
2 cups water
1 (32-ounce) carton fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup prechopped onion
1/2 cup prechopped celery
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium carrot, chopped
6 ounces fusilli pasta
2 1/2 cups shredded skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Preparation
1. Combine 2 cups water and chicken broth in a microwave-safe dish, and microwave at HIGH for 5 minutes.

2. While broth mixture heats, heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion, celery, salt, pepper, and carrot; sauté 3 minutes or until almost tender, stirring frequently. Add hot broth mixture and pasta; bring to a boil. Cook 7 minutes or until pasta is almost al dente. Stir in chicken; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Stir in parsley.

Kitchen Notes
Heat the broth mixture in the microwave to jump-start the cooking. Meanwhile, sauté the aromatic ingredients in your soup pot to get this dish under way. Though we like the shape of fusilli, you can also make this soup with wide egg noodles, rotini, or even orzo. *I used Ramen noodles and the chicken flavor packet that came with it, one half of the packet for each package of ramen noodles that you use.

Tags: sides vegetables potatoes 30 Minute Meals boil simmer
Submitted by
Rachael Ray
*Note* I used regular potatoes so they need to boil a little longer and be cut up in quarters. I also used regular 1 percent milk.*

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes
1 small head broccoli
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
PREPARATION
Halve the potatoes and add to a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the potatoes for 10 minutes while you trim and chop the broccoli into 1/2-inch dice.

Add the broccoli to the potatoes and cook for 5 minutes more. Drain and return to the hot pot to dry. Stir in the milk, butter and cheese and mash until the cheese melts into potatoes and broccoli. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and transfer to a serving bowl to serve.

Mocha Crinkle Cookies



  • 1 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 cups sugar
    ½ Cup vegetable oil
    4 eggs
    2 teaspoons Vanilla
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    ½ teaspoon salt
    ½ cup confectioners’ sugar
    1. In a medium bowl, mix together cocoa, white sugar, vegetable oil and vanilla Beat in eggs one at a time. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; in a separate small bowl, stir into the cocoa mixture. Cover dough, and chill for at least 4 hours.
    2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll dough into one inch balls. I like to take the batter and put it in plastic wrap and then roll it into a log so that by the time it comes out of the fridge all you have to do is cut the log. Coat each ball in confectioners' sugar before placing onto prepared cookie sheets.
    3. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Let stand on the cookie sheet for a minute before transferring to wire racks to cool.
    4. I use Ghirardelli Chocolate for these cookies because I find it to be much more rich in flavor than plain ol’ Hershey’s. I’ve done it with both and Hershey’s just doesn’t do it, it leaves a flour flavor in the dough.
    5. They are done when the edges are a bit harder than the middle of the cookie. The middle will feel like a brownie when they are done.
