Hearty Chicken Soup
My in-house MasterChef Jr does it again. The Baby loves to cook and watch kid’s cooking shows. This week he decided to make chicken soup, his way. We talked about what ingredients might go well in soup and he looked in the pantry and chose his own ingredients, knowing what flavors he likes.
Chicken soup with a touch of sweet sausage and warm potatoes makes this a hearty dish for the oncoming cold weather. Compliments can be hard to come by from siblings but this recipe even garnered rave reviews from his older brother. Fingers crossed he makes this dish for us every week!
