chicken soup, good for the soul

Made this yummy, easy soup the other day - I used shredded chicken from a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking thighs....also just used a great long grain rice and wild rice combo rice mix from Trader Joe's instead of using two kinds of rice.  Came out good, perfect with some red pepper flakes sprinkled on top. 

Gina's skinny recipes are awesome!

Mixed Berry Cobbler

 

Ingredients

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries.

1 cup F or F blueberries

2 cups F or F strawberries

(NOTE:  the past two times you had this I used blackberries instead of strawberries and mixed the berries all together and used 4 cups mixed berries.  I have made it with the strawberries and it is also very good - just takes more time to clean and cut them if you use fresh).

1 1/2 cups sugar, divided

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk ( I use soy and it tastes great)

1/2 cup butter or margarine (I use one stick regular butter - I refuse to cook with margarine on principle. If it is a baked good it should have REAL butter).

 

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375.  Place a stick of butter in a medium baking dish.  Place dish in oven to melt butter, remove from oven when melted.  Since my sticks are usually frozen when I do this I make this my first step.  If your butter isn't frozen, do this a little later as it will melt fast.

 

Step 2

While the butter is melting. combine the berries in a medium bowl and add 1/2 cup sugar.  Mix gently and set aside.

 

Step 3 Combine flour. remaining sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and mix well ( I do this by hand).  Then add milk and beat until smooth (about 2 min).  I use a hand mixer for this part.

 

Step 4

Once your butter and you batter are ready (sounds like a Dr. Seuss book).  You spoon (don't pour) your batter evenly over the melted butter (don't stir).  Then spoon your berries evenly over the batter (again, do not stir).

 

Step 5

Bake for 20 min or until golden brown.  Serve cobbler warm or at room temp.

 

It was Hannigan's idea

to make a site where we could share recipes (since we often eat together!)
I would love to get some recipes from Indian night, the spinach salad was delicious....
