Me and baby boy have been sick the last two weeks. He's spent two days home from daycare, and I've been home two days from work. Even though I love cooking at work, I really like cooking at home for my family. Here is a recipe for Caldo con Pollo (Chicken Soup) and Zucchini Bread. They are great together!
Caldo con Pollo
- 4 quarts water
- 2 chicken legs, 2 thighs, 2 wings, and 2 tenders (if you are quartering a whole chicken, reserve breasts for another meal) or 2 store bought skinless chicken breast. Boiling the meat on the bone makes great chicken stock.
- one small onion chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced or chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped in rounds
- 3 stalks of celery, chopped
- 1/4 to 1/2 a cabbage, chopped
- sea salt, black pepper, paprika to taste.
- egg noodles (whatever size and however many you like)
Bring water to rolling boil and cook chicken, onion and garlic until meat has internal temp of 175 degrees F. Set chicken aside in a bowl to cool. After cooled, pull meat off bones and place back in stock pot. Chop vegetables, add to stock pot and bring soup just to boiling and let simmer. Season to taste. After the carrots are tender, add noodles in quantity of your choice, but do not let overwhelm the vegetables. Cook noodles al dente, or as directed on package.
Zucchini Bread
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup olive oil
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 3 cups flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Cream eggs and sugar. Mix in other ingredients. Divide dough into two greased and floured loaf pans. Cover pans with a foil tent. Bake for one hour at 350 degrees F. Remove foil tent and bake 5-10 minutes. Cool on rack.
I'm sure anyone that makes these recipes will be so delighted!
