Easy Chicken and Vegetable Soup

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Ready In: 2 hours
Serves: 5

This is a simple but delicious meal of the whole family. Make it ahead of time ahead of time and it will be keep in the refrigerator. Is actually better the next day. Very satisfying on a chilly day. I love to carry the leftovers to work for a nice lunch.

Ingredients:

1 pound of boneless chicken breast meat
1 (15oz) can of whole small new potatoes
1 (8oz) can mixed peas and carrots
1 (8oz) can whole kernel corn
1 (8oz) can cut green beans
1 (8oz) can green lima beans
1 medium size onion
2 cups of raw cabbage
1 (8oz) can tomato paste
1 tbsp of ground black pepper
3 chicken bullion cubes
3 tbsp Emeril Seasoning (optional)
salt to taste


1. Heat oven to 400f, cut chicken breasts into strips about 1/2 inch wide and coat with the Emeril Seasoning or seasoning you prefer.If you
prefer to cook chicken breast pieces whole it will just take longer to get done. I normally cut in these strips so that chicken will be ready to put
in the soup when I am through preparing the other ingredients. Another option is to boil the chicken meat to cook. I prefer the texture of the
baked chicken to boiled chicken. Bake the strips 30 minutes.

2. After the chicken has started cooking, add the peas and carrots, corn, green beans, and lima beans (drain all before adding) to a large pot
Add enough water cover vegetables and start heating to a boil. Add more water later if necessary to bring to your desired consitency.

3. Cut potatoes into approximately 1/2 inch cubes, add to the pot.

4. Chop onion and cabbage and add to pot.

5. Add tomato paste to and black pepper to pot.

6. Bring to a boil and add bullion cubes.

7. Turn heat to medium low and simmer.

8. When finished baking, cut chicken into bite size chunks and add to soup mix.

9. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours and add salt to taste.

If consistency is to thick, add some water or chicken broth and cook a little while longer.

The Deadliest Catch

Deadliest Catch’s 4th season premier has been announced by the Discovery Channel to take place on Tuesday, April 15. The documentary style reality TV show is my favorite series of this channel’s programming.

The Deadliest Catch portrays the every day life during the crabbing season of the captain and crew members of the crab fishing vessels on the Bering Sea. It shows both the dangers and normal work routines of this sometimes deadly occupation.

The port of Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska is the base of operations for all of the fleets featured on the show. The show gets it name because crab fishing on the Bering Sea is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world.

The series normally follows several boats during the 2 major crab fishing seasons, the Red or King Crab in October and the Orange or Opilio Crab in January.

Each of the shows has a story line or situation that occurs on one or more of the boats. There is focus on some of the new crew members or greenhorns. The captains and their searches for the crab are always featured with a competition taking place between each boat and crew.

The true dangers of the profession are always present and are presented in a real-life setting. Their number one fear of all the crews is the non forgiving weather that is ever present.

Three of the boats and crews featured on the Deadliest Catch are the Northwestern, the Time Bandit, and the Cornelia Marie.

Catch the first episode of the 2008 season on April 15 and get hooked.

Name Change, New Direction

I have come to a huge milestone in my life and felt a need to change the direction of this blog. My posting, as of late, has been less than desirable with little to no inspiration.

My work experience has been in the same field for the last 42 years. New company leaders have come in to revive a dieing industry, thanks to our Gov. (NAFTA), in the US. Good Luck!!!

In the future, I will post both personal items and income related opportunities.

Love all of You that visit us, give us a comment

Back to Posting

Its been quiet a while since out last post but we hope to find more time in the future.

With the warm weather we have been spending less time in front of the computer and more working on other things. We have spent more time in the doctors office. Guess this just comes with age.

We have done some additional writing for our main website and have been able to add a great deal of related content.

We added a new page of mostly IM Resources. All are great resources and some of them are free. Check them out: IM Resources
