Everything from the Fridge Chicken Soup

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe contributed by Plan Z dieter, Riley. Riley rocked her refrigerator to come up with this one. Riley says, “I call it this because I was looking for a way to use up leftovers and dibs and dabs and winter in Nebraska is a great time for soups. Family loves them.” Way to go Riley!

Servings: Serves 12 – 14

Each serving is 1-1/2 cups

Ingredients:

• 1/2 orange pepper, chopped
• 1 cup chopped mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon original Ms. Dash table blend

• 2-3 cups cooked chicken breast, cut into small pieces
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 strips bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
• spinach leaves… optional

Instructions:

Melt the butter in a soup pot, then add the onion, peppers and mushrooms and stir around over medium heat for a few minutes to soften.

Season with the Ms. Dash and Italian seasoning.

Add the chicken broth and cooked chicken and let simmer for about 15 minutes.

Stir in the whipping cream, sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

My husband and I put fresh spinach leaves at the bottom of our soup bowls and let the hot soup wilt them.

Enjoy!
