Ok - so it's a simplified version of "homemade". I'm not making my own broth or anything here - let's not get crazy. But it's quick to put together and much better than anything out of a can. My 17 year old daughter asked for this recipe yesterday to make for the family she is currently staying with in her year abroad in France. Here is a picture of what she made (#proudmom). 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 clove garlic 1/2 cup chopped celery 4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth 1 (14.5 ounce) can vegetable broth 1/2 - 1 pound chopped cooked chicken breast 1 1/2 cup egg noodles, cooked according to package directions 1 cup sliced...

My mom has been making this for holidays since I was a child. She still makes it every Thanksgiving and Christmas and the grandkids love it. It's a great festive color and I will be making it today. It's pure junk food but so good!

This fat-free and vegan soup has tons of flavor (really!). My vegan daughter always requests this when she wants comfort food. With a crusty baguette, it is very satisfying. The addition of potatoes makes it thicker and heartier than most split pea soups. 2 cups green split peas (uncooked) 8 cups vegetable broth 2 cubes boullion (vegetarian) 2 potatoes (chopped) 2 ribs celery (chopped) 2 carrots (sliced) 1 onion (diced) 2 cloves garlic (minced) 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon sage 1 teaspoon thyme 3 bay leaves Place the split peas, vegetable broth, and bouillon cubes in your Crockpot and give it a quick stir to break up the bouillon cubes a bit. Next, add the chopped potatoes,...
