Chicken Mushroom Soup

This soup is currently my husband's favorite.  Chicken & Mushroom Soup is packed with protein and can be ready in a matter of minutes.  It makes for a satisfying lunch or dinner.  Just add a salad for a complete meal!


Here's what you'll need:
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 cans cooked chicken breasts
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
salt & pepper
2 green onions, chopped

Makes 4 servings.

Here's what to do:
Saute the onion and celery in a small stock pot until tender.  Add the chicken, mushrooms, chicken stock, water, garlic powder, salt and pepper to pot.  Stir ingredients together.  Simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Top with chopped green onions.


Here are a few time savers:


Mushrooms are great for you!  Hey, it says so right on the container!  They're a super food because they are packed with vitamin D and are a good source of antioxidants.  Plus, they're low in calorie. Save time by buying the pre-sliced mushrooms at the store. They're already clean, sliced and ready to go.  You can add them to soups, salads, sandwiches, pizzas, or your morning omelette.


Another great time saver is canned chicken breast.  It's convenient for making a quick chicken salad, or tossing into a soup.
