Dinners

I spent 40.00 at the grocery store this week. There just wasn't much there. I spent considerably more last week because it was a good stocking week. This week most of the ads were about the big game party food and booze.

I mostly bought fresh veggies. My husband went ton the grocery outlet and bought green peppers and sliced cheese.

When it is cold or when I know that it's going to be along day, I like to putna pot of soup on or put it in the slow cooker.

Sausage and Bean soup

1 quart of water
1 medium potato, sliced and cubed
1/2 pound sausage, cooked
2cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2cans diced tomatoes
1/2 a small onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
Salt and pepper

Bring water to boil in stock pot. Add potato and cook for 10 minutes until potato is tender. Add remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to simmer and cook another 10 minutes or so until veggies are tender.


Creamy Chicken Soup

sauté in oil in a stockpot until soft

1 rib celery chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1/2small onion chopped
1/2 tsp minced garlic

Add 3 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup of left over rice
Salt, pepper

Cook om low until heated through

Add 1cup cream or milk
And 1 cup diced chicken

Mix 2T flour with 2T butter to form a paste.

Add to soup stirring until soup has thickened and soup in appropriate temperature. Do not boil.
Over storing will make the chicken tough or stringy.
