My Chicken Vegetable Soup

I have dedicated this blog to my love of baking and introducing you to the world of some very creative bakers and people with a love desserts and their amazing creations. I love using my blog to share my love of baking and the recipes I create. I thought I would share with you one of my favorite recipes that I go to when it's cold and rainy out and I want a big bowl of warm soup. During my time culinary school days we made some really great soups and I learned a lot from the recipes I prepared for service that day. This soup I had learned how to make from my grandma years before but going to Culinary school helped me "tweak" it and refine the flavor.

Chicken Vegetable Soup
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2in cubes
4 stalks of celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped fine
3 carrots, chopped 1/4 dice
2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
4 Tablespoons Butter
6 or so cups of water or stock
sea salt/pepper

Add onions, celery,garlic and butter to the hot pot, cook till translucent.
add carrots.
Add water or stock
let it all come to a boil and add chicken
salt and pepper to taste

I let it come to a boil then add chicken, turn down to let simmer till chicken is done.
check after 1hr.taste to see if you need more salt and pepper.

Feel free to add a variety of veggies to this soup, I just wanted something simple the day I made this, but be creative!

I hope you have enjoyed my little break for all the goodies, because a girls gotta eat,it's so good!!
