Kick it Up Grilled Cheese and Homemade Chicken Vegetable Soup

Chicken Soup with Carrots, Celery, Zucchini, Yellow Squash, Salt and Pepper

Method

1. Filled a Deep Stock Pot with Water, Sprinkle in Salt, Pepper and Italian Seasoning, and 1 Large Chopped Onion

2. Add 1 Whole Uncooked Chicken and Bring Contents to a Boil on High Heat ( I use an Organic Chicken)

3. Lower Heat to Medium Low and Simmer for 2 Hours

4. Remove Whole Chicken from the Pot - Meat Should be Tender and Fall of the Bone

5. Remove all skin and bones and discard

6. Set Aside the Amount of Chicken you want in your soup - the rest can be refrigerated or put in the freezer for a later date

7. Strain Remaining Liquid/Broth - There will be a lot - Set Aside Enough to Make a Nice Batch of Soup and then I usually put the rest in containers and freeze for a later date. 

8. Place Broth for Soup into a smaller pot

9. Peel and Slice Carrots, Slice Zucchini, Squash, and Celery

10. Place all Vegetables Pieces into the broth - Put on Medium/ High Heat till Boils

11. Add Shredded Chicken Pieces -  Lower Heat and Simmer till Vegetables are Tender

12 . Serve and Enjoy

" I enjoy this soup because it is  comforting and warm. Even on a hot August day if I've been in AC all day it is a good meal. It is also very healthy for me too! "

Grilled Cheddar Cheese on Sprouted  Ezekiel Bread with Tomatoes and Spinach

Method

1. Slice a Fresh Ripe Tomato

2. Set Aside Enough Fresh Spinach for 1 Sandwich

3. Have Two Slices of Bread - Butter one Side of 1 piece and set aside

4. On the Other Slice Place 1 Piece of Cheese ( I used cheddar, but any cheese will work), 2 Thin Slices of Tomato and the spinach - Top with other Slice of Bread - Butter Side on Top

5. Lightly Coat your frying pan with Oil and Heat up on Medium Heat

6. Once Pan is Hot Place Sandwich Butter Side Down

7. Butter Top Piece of Bread While Sandwich is in Pan

8. When Bottom Side is Golden Flip Sandwich Until it is Golden too

9. Remove From the Pan and Take a Bite

"This Sandwich went nicely with my soup, the tomato added a juicy texture while the spinach added a little soft crunch as it wasn't fully cooked. The sprouted bread was  moist and would be easy to digest for those of you who may not be able to of regular breads made with wheat flour.  The best part was once I ate all the vegetables/chicken from my soup, I still had some broth left so I could dip my sandwich in the broth and that was even more spectacular."  Overall a good meal! You will see a repeat as it got my husband's approval too!

"Oh Yeah! I can't forget to tell ya'll that I washed it all down with a lovely glass of fresh lemonade from a store called Earthfare, to me this lemonade has just the right amount of sugar and lemon spark" Delish!
