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...

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa...
