Chicken Soup

My kitty enjoying the fire

One of the best things about cold, fall weather is having a hot bowl of soup by the fire. I don't usually follow a recipe when I'm make soup. I use whatever I have in the fridge. This time I made chicken soup with veggies. Normally once I've browned the onions I deglaze the pan with some white wine but I didn't have any. I decided to try the marsala wine I had leftover from a dish I made a few night ago...it was delicious. I love when something works out as you hope it will in a recipe.

Here are the ingredients I used:

Cooked shredded chicken

Chopped Onions browned in olive oil, I add a little minced garlic just before the onions are done

Chopped celery

Peel and diced sweet potatoes and russet potatoes

Bay Leaf

Salt & Pepper to taste

Marsala Wine to deglaze the pan

Chicken Broth

Celery Seed (I love this spice and always put it in my chicken soup)

A little cayenne pepper for heat

Bring to a boil and then simmer until the potatoes are tender. Delicious.
