~~~~~ Creamy Chicken Soup ~~~~~

Ingredients:

4 chicken thigh fillets (cut into small chunks)
4 cups chicken broth (homemade, stock cubes, or canned broth)
1 small onion (finely chopped)
1 clove garlic (crushed)
2 medium carrots (roughly chopped)
2 stalks celery (finely chopped)
1 small can corn
1 cup pasta shells (or any small pasta you have)
1 cup cream
In a large quart pan, heat about a tablespoon of oil.

Add the onion and garlic and cook this for about 2 minutes or until the onions are soft.

Add in your chicken, corn, carrots and chicken broth.  Bring all of this to a boil.

Cover and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.

After this is finished, add in your pasta and simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender.

Stir in cream and heat through without boiling.

~~~~~ Tip ~~~~~

Be careful with this last step, cream can be very touchy so you want to be sure you remove the pan from the heat before you stir in the cream.
