Accidental Chicken Soup

 

Went to a restaurant a few weeks ago, they served a chicken chowder that tasted like the inside of a pot pie. My attempt to recreate ended in an utter failure...however, the result was a decent chicken soup (nothing like chowder).  So here is the recipe for my accidental chicken soup:

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 pound chicken breast, cubed

1.5 pounds of potatoes, no skin, cubed

2 cups of frozen vegetable mix

1 cup chicken stock

1 medium white onion, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

salt, pepper, paprika to taste

put all ingredients, mixed, into a slow cooker...I only had a few hours so I did it on high for 4.5 hours.  I served it with an onion roll, courtesy of the wonderful bakers at Whole Foods.

The calorie count came out at 29.8 calories an ounce...which is a bit higher than I would like for the lack of richness.  This recipe certainly needs refinement.
