Clean it out Vegetable Soup


You have to trust me that my kitchen smells AMAZING.  Every few days I decide my diet is going to be healthier, I will add more vegetables and good stuff to my eating.  And then dinner happens or date night or Krispy Kreme lights up the "HOT" sign.  I am a work in progress.  But that being said, I now have lunch prepared for today and the next 5 days or so.  

Clean it out Vegetable Soup

1 frozen chicken breast
2 c shredded carrots
1/2 head cabbage
4 red potatoes
2 bell peppers
2 jalapeno peppers
2 onions
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp green curry sauce
3 c beef broth

Chop chicken with cleaver (it was really frozen!)  Add carrots.  Core cabbage, chop coarsely. Cut your potatoes into quarters. Seed and chop bells and jalapeƱos. The jalapeƱos add just the perfect kick to this soup.  Chop onion into chunks.  Add garlic and curry on top of this massive pile of chopped vegetables.  Pour broth over the top.  PC high 12 minutes.

Mine is creamy style because as I was cleaning out the vegetable drawer I noticed some cream cheese in there... so I added it after the cooking and stirred it into the hot soup for the creamy wonderfulness that it adds.

(btw this is the 2nd week in a row to make a variation of this soup, which is why I had 1/2 a head of cabbage just waiting to be used.)

is 10:30 to early for lunch??
