Simply Soup

In the CSA box last week was a bag of tomatillos. Sadly, I'd never used them before and had no real clue what they are used in, besides green sauce. Thankfully, the CSA has a website with recipes for nearly all the vegetables and fruit they supply. Last night, I made sure to use those tomatillos in the very last recipe on the page: Tomatillo Chicken Soup. So. So. Yummy. I used two of the Hungarian Wax Chiles in place of the jalapenos called for, and used up a red onion that had a quarter missing from last week. So good. I had Ben blend it while I was shredding the chicken (yeah, he got the easy job; I had to watch the girls, too, who were trying to gobble down any bits I missed on the bones).

I made a basic brown rice recipe and served crackers on the side. Simple, tasty, healthy. The children all enjoyed it and TJ will be taking some in his lunch today.



(I couldn't reach my camera this morning, so borrowed Ben's phone for one). He has carrots & hummus, dates & Hello Panda cookies. Not shown are Oyster crackers for the soup and strawberries to fill the hole in the second tier.
