These last few weeks have been beyond hectic. So I've been relying on simple meals, to make life a little easier. I first fell in love with this recipe, when I was a Pampered Chef consultant. We made this soup, at a team meeting and it was fabulous! I've been wanting to make it since then, but never really took the time to make it, even though it is easy to put together.

The original recipe uses the Deep Covered Baker, one of The Pampered Chef's stoneware pots, but you can easily make this using the oven for the croutons and a regular pot for the soup. The link to the original recipe, from The Pampered Chef, can be found here. Today I will share a way to make the soup, using everyday kitchen pots and pans.

My daughter who isn't a big fan of tomato based sauces said, it was very delicious. My son and I finished the soup in two days, enjoying the leftovers for lunch the next day. We ate all the croutons I had put onto the soup the day I made it, so when we reheated, we added more croutons before eating it. So make extra croutons if you can ;)


 






Chicken Parmesan Soup
adapted from The Pampered Chef

1 demi baguette (or half of a regular baguette)
2 Tbs olive oil
3 Tbs Pampered Chef Garlic and Herb seasoning, divided ***
1 1/2 C chicken stock
1- 14.5 oz can tomato sauce
1- 14.5 oz can Italian seasoned diced tomatoes
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 C cooked chicken, cut into cubes
1/2 C grated Parmesan
1 C mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut baguette into bite size cubes and toss with olive oil and 1 tsp Garlic and Herb seasoning. Spread evenly onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes; until bread begins to brown. Set aside.

In a pot, combine the chicken stock, remaining Herb and Garlic seasoning, tomato sauce, garlic and chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan. Top soup with half the mozzarella, followed by half the croutons. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella over soup, cover and let sit 5 minutes. Serve soup with remaining croutons.

*** if you don't have PC Herb and Garlic Seasoning, simply use a combination of 1 Tbs garlic powder, 3/4 Tbs oregano, 3/4 Tbs basil and 1/2 Tbs red pepper flakes

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and ...

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and...

Crockpot Moose Stew

Tender wild moose, is slow cooked all day with potatoes, peas, carrots and herbs, resulting in a hearty and delicious cold weather dish. I can say that I've missed blogging. I've missed creating recipes, taking photographs and sharing them with you. Sometimes life gets in the way, which is the case here. Five years ago my life took a turn I never thought it would. I suddenly found myself as a single mom, who suddenly had to find a job and be both mom and dad to my children. That transition, along with trying to heal a hurt and broken heart, was too much to focus on and things like my blog fell to the wayside. They say things in your life happen for a reason and that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Well let me tell you, I was able to build myself back up and show my children that their mom is a strong and determined woman that will always be there for them, even when she feels defeated. Five years later, I can proudly say that I am doing better then I have in a lon...
