soup season is upon us..!

So... its been getting colder where i live. and with that comes the fear of catching a cold... and the only way to combat that...

IS A NICE BOWL OF SOUP! 

and for all others out there fearing the same cold bleak fate of sneezing and coughing every few minutes I will hopefully help you out by sharing this pretty good soup that I made for my household the other day >;D 

ok so. what you will want to have on hand is some kind of chicken stock or broth. I prefer to make my own (just throw whatever pieces of chicken bones in a slow cooker for like 12-16 hours) but if you dont have the time for that then store bought is fine! that goes for everything else i am about to list as well.

so chicken liquid of some sort, carrot, white onion and some celery is what went into this soup. oh and if you can find it the little star shaped pasta! or I was thinking if i made this again i might try like millet or some more nutritious starchy item? (if i remake this i would also probably add mushroom? but u can get creative probably) 

anyway I just cut all my veg and sauteed them for a bit then covered it in the broth and let it simmer for like an hour.

but the special part comes here (and is probably optional) so basically before you add the pasta youre gonna want to add all the veg to a BLENDER. and absolutely liquefy all of them! then proceed to add in your pasta or other starchy item and re add the liquid veggies. 

I wasnt too sure that this would change much but damn! this gives the soup an almost creaminess? without adding any cream! and its also really easy to eat! less chewing=more soup consumption after all??

I also advise you to add a boat load of salt (obviously taste as you go to not add too much) cause mine needed a LOT to have any flavour. and I added pepper too and this came out soooo good. really showcasing the veg flavours along with the chicken.

and lastly, this is a non negotiable but when you eat this soup you have to be watching a good movie! I and my pals watched the first twilight since tis the season but there are many others you can chose. I promise you this soup will not disappoint in such a situation!!

well thats about it! if you try it let me know what you think?? and to everyone reading make sure to keep warm and take care not to get sick once it gets colder <3 (and if u do then get lots of rest and water) and cheers!
