Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

This soup was delicious!  It is very rich and creamy!  I think next time I will do a little more chicken broth and a little less heavy cream (and do part heavy cream, part skim milk) because it was very rich.  But I loved the flavors!

Ingredients:
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
2 cooked, boneless chicken breasts, shredded
1 package quick quicking long grain and wild rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced mushrooms
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream

Directions:
In a large pot over medium heat, combine broth, water, and chicken  Bring just to boiling, then stir in rice.  Cover and remove from heat. 
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.  Add carrots, celery, and mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes.  Add salt and pepper.  Reduce heat to low, then stir in flour until veggies are well coated.  Whisk in cream a little at a time until fully incorporated and smooth.  Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. 
Stir cream mixture into broth and rice.  Cook over medium heat until heated through, 10-15 minutes.

Lasagna Soup

Lasagna Soup

This is a great Italian soup.  Pretty easy to put together and delicious.  Serve with yummy garlic bread.

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound Italian turkey sausage
1 32 ounce container chicken broth
1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 ounces broken whole-wheat lasagna noodles
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:
Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick saucepot or Dutch oven.  Add the sausage and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is crumbled and browned, 8-10 minutes.  Add the broth, tomato sauce, salt, and crushed red pepper.  I like to add some garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning as well.  Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for about 20 minutes, until flavors are blended.  Add the noodles, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly and the noodles are tender, 10-12 minutes.  Remove from the heat, stir in mozzarella, basil, and parmesan.
