Ok here are the basic ingredients:
•chicken breast - I usually use two
•1 can of cream of chicken soup - you can sub a healthier homemade version if you like
•8oz of milk - I use whole, but I doubt it matters
•1 32oz box of broth - chicken or vegetable, I use whatever I have on hand and even make homemade vegetable broth from time to time
•two sticks of celery chopped into half inch pieces - I don't always have celery on hand so I don't always use it
•two large carrots peeled and chopped into bite size pieces - depending on the amount of other vegetables I have on hand I might use three
•three medium or large potatoes peeled and chopped into bite size pieces - again this depends on what else I have
•one large parsnip peeled and chopped - I don't always add this
•two turnips peeled and chopped - another of those if I happen to have it veggies
•one can of green beans drained and rinsed
•four cloves of garlic peeled, chopped, and crushed - I love garlic you can add as much or as little as you like
•garlic powder to taste - like I said I LOVE GARLIC
•onion powder to taste
•pepper to taste
• one or two bay leaves
•if I happen to have some onion I'd throw that in
•a couple spears of pepper - the color isn't important I buy one at a time slice it up and freeze most of it, when you need some you just pull out a spear and break it or cut it into whatever length you want
Ok so get your self a big pot and throw everything but the green beans and celery in. Simmer for like an hour and a half, take out the chicken, and shred it. If it needs more liquid add milk. Toss in the chicken, beans, and celery. If you want you can make some dumplings or add some gnocchi. You can eat it whenever you're ready. I recommend serving it with these bread sticks.
