I found a recipe for chicken and corn soup in an old cook book and modified it today. I have had a head cold and was reading about how chicken soup is good to help get rid of a cold, but if you add hot spicy stuff and garlic it is even better. So that is what I did. I didn't measure much of the ingredients except for the water and base everything else I just tossed in.
8 c. water
2 T. chicken base
2 T dried onion
2 T dried carrots
3/4 c diced celery
1/2 c chopped red bell pepper
1 pkg frozen corn
Throw all of this in a pot and get it simmering
then add:
1 pint bottle of chicken
1 small can chopped green chilies
1 T chili powder
1/2 t cummin
1/2 t garlic granules
When it looks like the vegetables have cooked enough
Mix 3/4 c cornmeal, 3/4 cup white flour, 1/2 t salt, some pepper and 1 egg
together in a bowl, just like you would for lumpy dick.
Then slowly add it to the simmering soup and stir and let it simmer for 15 minutes It thickens the soup and makes little dumplings at the same time.
