Sarah’s Jambalaya

Guys! I almost dropped the ball on posting today, it’s so nice outside and I have a couple of gigs to run off to, but then these jambalaya pics appeared out of nowhere.  This recipe was begging to be shared and for good reason. This jambalaya is a fan favorite and it’s a one pot meal.  How can a home cooked dinner be any easier? Chop a few things, add a bunch of spices, set it and kinda forget it, cause it will be done before you finish one episode of House of Cards.live seasoned spring 16 jumbalaya-2

Easy Peasy Creamy Chicken Soup

liveseasoned_winter14_creamychickensoup-2

Why is it so damn easy?! Here’s why: It only takes a handful of ingredients, most of which are probably in your fridge or pantry already. It’s a one-pot meal. It all comes together in twenty minutes. No fibbing here!

Creamy Chicken Soup Ingredients:

  • two TBSP olive oil OR butter
  • one onion, chopped
  • two celery stalks, chopped
  • three big carrots, chopped
  • one cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/3 cup of flour
  • three cups chicken broth (or two cups chicken broth and one cup mushroom broth)
  • three cups milk
  • one cup peas, cooked
  • salt, pepper and thyme to taste

Creamy Chicken Soup Instructions:

  • Heat olive oil or butter in a big soup pot over medium heat.  Toss in the chopped onions, carrots and celery. Sauté until onions are clear and veggies are soft.
  • Add the shredded chicken and mix.
  • Toss in a third cup of flour.  Mix all the ingredients so the flour coats everything.
  • Add three cups of broth. I always use bouillon to make a tasty stock, but this time I also added some mushroom broth.
  • Add three cups of milk and mix.  Watch the soup and stir occasionally.  After about five minutes the broth will thicken.
  • Add a cup of cooked peas (I used frozen!) and a bunch of salt, pepper and thyme.
