Chow-Chow Chicken Chunk-o Soup

Chow-Chow Chicken Chunk-O Soup

original recipe by Monkey Artz ©

Stuff you'll need:

• 2 lbs ground chicken
• 2 cans chicken or beef broth
• 2 cans whole kernel cute corn
• 2 cans dark red kidney beans
• 1 can pinto beans
• 1 can sliced carrots
• 1 can mixed vegetables
• 2 regular onions (chopped, of course)
• 1 fresh (not rude) cut up green pepper
• 3 sticks chopped fresh celery
• Garlic, salt and pepper

In a big ol' pot on top the stove....add this stuff:  The cute little chopped up onions, the cut up green pepper, the lovely celery and one can of chicken or beef broth.  On Med to High heat saute the fresh vegetables...not for very long...just until celery and onions become a little softer (and more pleasant).

As the veggies are swimming in the broth add salt and ol' reliable pepper. 

add GARLIC!  Lots of garlic. You can use garlic powder, fresh garlic, minced garlic...whatever you like the best.  If you are a vampire, skip the garlic.

Once that's cooked to your satisfaction and you feel all happy inside...Turn up the heat and add the ground chicken.  Smash it up with a spoon, mix all the stuff together well.
Make sure the ground chicken is completely cooked. 
Remember, no one wants or needs the dreaded raw chicken disease:  Trick-a-Chicky © 

Once that is all completely cooked..turn down heat to about MED or a little lower and...ADD the rest of the junk...

Kidney beans, corn, pinto beans, mixed vegetables, carrots and the other can of beef or chicken broth...if Soup is too thick to your liking you can add water and more seasoning or go back to the store and buy more cans of chicken or beef broth.
Did you remember to drain the canned vegetables before adding to the concoction?  Opps, you didn't?  Uh - oh.  You're on your own now, I cannot help you.

Let this cook until celery is soft...about an hour?  Something like that.

You can actually add/subtract any vegetables you want.  I personally would not add cans of tomatoes...because it can turn your soup Pink.  Who the hell wants to eat pink soup?  I do not, thank you.

This is easy, people, easy!!! 

Other stuff you can add as a side to this dish:  Beer.

Thank you, Monkey Artz ©
