Feeling under the weather or just need to warm up?

An easy to make chicken soup! We call this one the "Get Well Sooner Soup" around here!

Ingredients:

Olive oil

2 Carrots, medium dice

2 Stalks Celery, medium dice

1/2 Yellow Onion, small dice

2 cloves Garlic, minced

Pinch Red pepper flake

1/4 tsp Oregano

2 quarts chicken stock

1/2 cup crushed tomatoes

1/2 cup frozen corn

1 can cannelini beans, drained

2 cups chopped roast chicken

1 cup small cooked pasta of your choice

salt and pepper

Heat 1-2 Tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over medium low heat. Add onion and celery, cook for 5 minutes then add garlic and red pepper flake. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth, scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot. When broth starts to simmer add corn, beans, and chicken. Heat through until hot. When ready to serve add pasta. If you are making this to freeze do not add pasta, it soaks up too much of the stock. Add salt and pepper to taste! Serve with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

If you are feeling under the weather I will sometimes add more garlic and red pepper flake! Always makes me feel better! And if you know someone feeling ill, cheer them up with some of this and send along a free package of Get Well Kleenex!
