Football Means Soups In my House

Football season is my husband's favorite time of the year.  It has been that way our entire marriage and I don't resent it at all.  I guess you can refer to me as a football widow.  I have found plenty to do on my Sundays but the one thing that does bother just a little is Sunday night dinner.  Dinner in my house is a time for the family to gather around the table and eat together.  I use to make regular meals on Sunday but no more.  My solution is to make a big pot of soup and let everyone just take a bowl when they feel like eating. 

I have been experimenting with recipes for soups and as I find good ones I will share them with you.  This week I decided to be like Sandra Lee.  For those of you who don't know her she had a show on the cooking channel known as Sandra Lee; Semi Homemade. She developed many recipes that were a combination of pre-made foods and fresh ingredients.

 

Here is my recipe from this past Sunday

2 cans Campbell's Home style Creamy Chicken and Dumpling herb soup

1 can Swanson's chicken broth

1 medium potato

1 pound of broccoli

1 medium onion

1 rib of celery

I chopped all the vegetables and cooked them in the broth for about 15 minutes.  Then I added the Creamy Chicken soup and let the soup simmer for about a half hour.  It came out great and there were leftovers for lunch.
