I found a packet of dried onion soup mix in my cupboard on Sunday and set it aside to make one of the recipes on the back of the box. Silly me, though, recycled the box that night without realizing that the recipes on the packet were different than the ones on the box. So late last night I tried to come up with a creative and hearty recipe on my own for tonight. It was a yummy soup that was perfect for the crappy day we had today (near freezing with cold rain, with the promise of snow). Try it out!
**disclaimer** I am looking only at calories on this "diet". I'm pretty sure there's a load of sodium in this recipe, so if you're watching your sodium or anything else, this probably isn't the recipe for you.
Chicken/Onion Soup:
1 chicken breast - 2oz - 47 cals per oz.
1 packet dry onion soup mix with 4 C water - 20 cal
1 packet chicken buillion - 10 cal
2 carrots - 2 cal
basil, 5 leaves - 1 cal
2 oz Orzo pasta - 200 cal
Take your crock pot and put the first 3 ingredients in on low heat. Chop the carrots into small pieces and add. Shred the basil and add, stirring the whole mixture. I cooked this on low for 7.5 hours while we were at work. When I got home I added the Orzo and cooked for another 20 or so minutes. Serve and enjoy this savory dish!
