Chicken Squash Soup

We are getting ready to leave on vacation and so it was time to sort through the freezer and find a way to use the smaller containers we found there.  

What we found was pureed squash from Thanksgiving, spinach frozen from last years’ garden, cooked chicken slices ready for use in salads and chicken broth.

It was icy and Grandpa almost fell.

What to make was easy soup  and we have called this recipe

Ingredients:

• 8 cups chicken broth (we had 4 cups in the freezer) and used purchased broth to make up the rest.

• 1 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1 heaping tablespoon ketchup
• 2 cooked chicken breast diced
• 2 finely chopped cups of spinach
• 2 cups frozen peas
• 4 bay leaves
• Cayenne pepper (always a good thing to add to a winter soup) to taste
• Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Add everything to a soup pot except for the pasta and simmer for 30 minutes.
