Recipe (Blog 12/7/10)
 Throw (not literally but I guess you could) into a crock pot:
• 3 pounds chicken breast, cut in bit size pieces
• 1 large onion, sliced           
• 6 carrots, diced           
• 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
• 3 celery hearts, diced
• 1 quart chicken broth
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 Tablespoon tarragon (the blog says 2 teaspoons, but when I tasted it, I decided it needed more)
         I cook this for eight hours under low heat, but you can be flexible about the time and temperature.
          Before serving, add cooked noodles. I use wide one, but any size or kind will do.


Keep it simple
• It takes me about twenty minutes to cut and slice and get the soup simmering.
• Add other ingredients such as green beans, parsnips, parsley, ­­­­­­your favorite_______.
• To stretch it out, add more broth and noodles. Of course this depends on the size of your crock pot.
• Easy to freeze.
This recipe gives you
• a comforting meal for a large group of people
• plenty of meals for yourself and your family
• meals to share with others.

    About Comfort Food

        Whenever I long for silence, solitude and simplicity, I’m always hoping to find comfort food waiting for me.  My comfort food rules are simple.

    Comfort Food must be
    1) Easy to prepare
    2) Taste yummy in my tummy
    Comfort Food does not need to be
    1) Nutritious (although it often is)
    2) Prepared from scratch
    Comfort Food can be
    1) Fruit and vegetables
    2) Fried in bacon fat (my personal favorite)
    3) Chocolate
    4) Low in cholesterol
    5) High in cholesterol
    6) Add your personal favorite:­­­_____________
