FRIED TOMATO PASTE FOR SOUP FLAVOR

If you like soup like I do you are always coming up with a big pot and I love to put different types of veg. combos in mine. This soup is real good and frying the tomato paste gives the soup the best flavor. If you don't think it does then just make a small kettle and see if you like it.

1 Onion , diced
3Oz. Tomato Paste
1 Pepper
1 Cup shredded Cabbage
2 Shredded Carrots
3 Florets Cauliflower, chopped
1 Tablsepoon Chopped Basil
1 Cup Beef Broth
Salt to taste

In a medium skillet heat the oil and fry the onion until it turns light brown. Add the tomato paste and fry stirring occasionally, scraping the bottom  of the skillet, until it starts to stick.. Take out and put in a medium kettle for making soup in. Add water, the vegs.and the onion tomato mixture, the basil and bring to a boil. Reduce to low heat, and cook for 25 minutes.

911 AND THE CHICKENS

There are still a few people who love fresh eggs direct from the chickens. Some still have chicken coops and have fresh eggs every day and not have to go to the store and buy them. It looks like the chickens even go on strike as the price of the eggs keeps going up and up.
One of my friends was telling me about her son who has around 9 hens and a rooster. Now we know how mean a ole red rooster can be. But hens they are not that mean are they. Any way he was out in  the chicken pin feeding his chickens and he then tried to catch one of them. Of course the hen did not want to be caught. So it began pecking him and some of the other chickens came where he was at and must have done the same thing.
He heard sirens and looked up and they came and stopped at his house. Now what has happened. We all dread to see a cop car stop at our house. Or get that phone call around 3 or 4 in the morning. Knowing something has happened.
Out got the officers and wanted to know what was going on. We got a 911 call from your house.
 He did not know what was going on inside as he was all right outside. So in the house they went and his wife was ok and so was his grandson.
 He ask who called the cops. Not me said his wife. I did, said his grandson. Why did you call them.
 I looked out the window and the chickens was pecking your hands and I thought they were going to hurt you so I was taught to call 911 if there is someone in trouble. Now the cops all knew them good and started laughing. Well we are all right so I guess you can chalk this up to a child learning and listening real good. lol. The cops was laughing as they were leaving.
Now just how old was this little boy, only 3 years old. So don't tell  me that small children can't learn real quick and listen to what everyone is saying. They may not tell you but they take everything in. lol..........

FELICIA G. CHICKEN CASSEROLE

With so many chicken casseroles out there I have found that this one is so easy and very good. So Trina this is for you. Hope you like it like we do. So glad that you are doing so much better and can eat now. Just don't eat to much of this lol. As it does have a lot of salt in it from the soups. I don't know what they feed those chickens that you get at K.  down in Nashville ,I believe they have some of the biggest chicken breast going. One would feed 3 people they are so huge. lol. But they are very good and tender. These Ky. chickens must be on a diet.

3 Chicken Breasts
1 Box Stove Top or Great Value Dressing Mix
1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 Can Of Chicken Broth or 1/2 Box
2 Sticks Blue Bonnett or Parkey Marg.

Wash chicken breasts good and then cook until done. Spray a 13 x 9 pan. Shred the breasts, if they are real big, just start with one and don't shred real little.Make it like chicken tenders cut in half. Put a layer of the chicken all over the bottom of the pan. Take the soups and pour into a medium bowl and then mix in the can of chicken broth or half of a box of broth. Stir them up real good and then pour over the chicken. It will be soupy. Next make up the dressing and put over the soups. Take the butter and slice it thin and put over top of the dressing and bake for 30 minutes. I put foil on mine until the last 10 minutes. It will burn on top real easy. It is very hot so make sure you let it cool down some before serving.
