highly efficient chicken soup
for when you need something cheap, fast, good, and not detrimental to your health.
take some of that frozen boneless skinless chicken you've got in the freezer, and that box of nice vegetable stock from the natural foods store, and poach the chicken in a little broth over very low heat while you go to the kroger and hit up the produce section for veggies that seem likely, such as string beans, an onion, and some mushrooms.
when you get home drain off the broth, which is now icky, put the chicken aside and wash out the pot.
heat some olive oil in the pot. chop the onion and sweat it in the oil with the lid on.
decide to add a tablespoon of minced garlic.
prepare the green beans. be happy the mushrooms are already cleaned and sliced. dump it all in and let it sweat with the onions while you...
pull the chicken apart with two forks. it's good that way, in soup.
put the chicken and the rest of the broth in the pot. consider that a little more salt would be nice, but decide that none of the herbs in the garden are quite right for this soup.
simmer. eat. feel good.
