Seasoned Tomato Soup from Sauce

Seasoned Tomato Soup from Sauce

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to med-low and simmer for about 10-20 min.  I just simmer the whole time I am making Grilled Italian Mozzarella and Tomato Sandwiches and it works out great.

Mini Chicken Pot Pies

This recipe is made by layering two different mixtures.  The Chicken Mixture and the Baking Mixture is how I will refer to them.

 

Mini Chicken Pot Pies

Chicken Mixture:

  • 1 T extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb chicken breast meat, cut into bite size pieces (I use free-range or organic if FR isn’t available)
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1/2 c chicken broth (I use Pacific Organic Free Range)
  • 1 c frozen peas and carrots or mixed veggies
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • 1/4 t thyme
  • 1/8 t turmeric
  • 1 c shredded cheddar cheese (I use raw cheddar)

Baking Mixture:

 

Preheat oven to 375º F.  Butter or line 12 regular muffin cups.  Fry up chicken in the oil until cooked through.  Add onion and chicken broth, simmer for a few minutes.  Add frozen vegetables and seasonings.  heat until all ingredients are thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.  Cool for about 5 minutes, then stir in cheese. This is your chicken mixture.

In a mixing bowl, stir baking mixture ingredients together until blended.  Scoop a Tablespoon of your Baking Mixture into each muffin cup.  Add 1/4 cup Chicken Mixture to each muffin cup.  Top off each cup with another Tablespoon of your Baking Mixture.

Bake at 375º for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool for 5-15 minutes, then serve.
