PANTRY SHELF CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP!! PANTRY COOKING RECIPE!!
Today I am coming at you with another quick and easy but delicious pantry shelf recipe. This recipe is going to take all it's ingredients from my pantry shelf to make a delicious, homestyle chicken noodle soup that is full of flavor and noodle goodness! This is a great way to start getting used to cooking from your pantry and making your food dollar stretch! Pair this with a tossed salad, a baked potato, some grilled cheese sandwiches or homemade biscuits and you have a satisfying meal that is sure to please even the pickest eater. When times are tough and we have a hard time sourcing ingredients, we can still eat like kings and feed the bellies and nourish the bodies of our loved ones with ease. It just takes a little planning and a little creativity!
Can you open a can of chicken noodle soup from your pantry shelf. Yes! Of course you can! However it will take more than one to make the amount we are going to make here and making it with the ingredients we are using we are controlling the over all "extras" that may be found in the processed soup. This is a great way to stretch your food dollar and use leftover grilled or roasted chicken. If you are a home canner use your homemade chicken stock and canned chicken to make this even more "homemade". My goal here is to encourage people who may be seeing bare grocery shelves, and who have never considered keeping more than a week's worth of groceries in their home to expand their thinking and prepare for the future, even if it's just a little. To quell fears and put minds at ease. With just a few ingredients you can eat well and be nourished.
This all starts with a quart of stock. I am using bone broth, but you can use canned chicken stock, regular chicken broth, fancy stock, or make up the equivalent amount with chicken bullion powder. To that I have added one large can of chunk white meat chicken, a can of mixed vegetable medley and one small bag of Fideo noodles as well as a selection of spices that I know my family will enjoy. This is simmered until the noodles are soft and served with your choice of sides and toppings or mix ins.
I know, on the surface this looks very simple, but sometimes we need to be reminded not to over think and the simplicity in this soup is just beautiful. Who doesn't love sitting down to a big bowl of chicken noodle soup. It calms the soul and feeds the mind as well as the body. There really is something to be said for it.
If you want to think a bit outside the box, you can easily take this idea and turn it into a creamy chicken and rice with mushroom soup by leaving out the noodles, adding in some cooked long grain or wild rice and stirring in some shelf stable heavy cream or crema or even a can of cream of mushroom or chicken soup and a can of drained mushrooms. Toss in a splash of sherry as well as a dash of worcestershire sauce and you have something worthy of company!
Prefer a chicken tortilla soup? You can leave out the noodles if you like, but leaving them in would be fine. Take away the mixed veggies, add in a can of sweet corn, and a can of tomatoes and green chilies, stir in some taco seasoning and other Mexican spices along with a bit of chopped chipotle chilies and simmer. You can use noodles or rice here, your choice! Top with crushed tortilla chips or if you don't have those, season some corn flakes up with taco seasoning and a little butter, in a skillet! Instant taco-y crunch!
Think outside the box to make this your own. What do you have on your pantry shelf that would make a delicious pot of simmering soup that your family would love? I think once you start tossing this around in your brain, you will come up with something amazing!
The cost breakdown for this soup as I made it is as follows. I used mostly store brand items:
1 quart of bone broth: $2.56
1 large can chunk chicken: $1.62
1 can mixed vegetables: $0.62
1 bag Fideo Noodles: $0.38
Assorted seasonings: $0.25
Total cost: $5.43
Total cost per serving (6): $0.91
I hope you give this pantry shelf chicken soup a try sometime soon and I hope you love it!
Happy eating!
