I just came up with soup. It is really easy and you can make it to your liking
I put as much chicken broth as you need for your family. I used about 14 cups so I could have left overs. I use the chicken bouillon from Sams. It has great flavor.
THEN I put in my already cooked chicken and cut it up. I put in about 1/2 of a sliced cut up cabbage, about 2/3 diced carrots per person, 1 punch of cut up Asparagus, about 6 to 8 sliced green onions, and I just sprinkle some minced onions in. I just cooked it long enough to cook the vegetables. Don't ya just love how I just say, a little of this and a little of that. I learned it from my wonderful Grandma. I still can't make her peachy cobbler like hers.
My family just love it. This time since I said noodle, I put in the abc pastas and they had a blast with the words and made up words when they got on there spoon. Let me know how yours turn out.

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 3 TBSP unsweetened coco powder
1 tsp salt
4 large eggs
1/2 pint heavy cream
10 1/2 oz semisweet chocolate (if you prefer milk chocolate, try that)
1) Finely grate white chocolate onto a plate using a vegetable peeler. Chill until needed. Preheat oven to 350.
2) Grease the base of two 8" round cake pans; line with parchment paper. Combine butter, sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer set on medium, beat until smooth. Continue beating until increased in volume, about 2 minutes longer. Divide batter between pans.
3) Bake cakes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Leave cakes in pan to cool for 1 minute, then turn onto a wire rack. Peel off lining paper; let cool.
4) Meanwhile, heat heavy cream just to a boil. Break chocolate into pieces; add to cream and stir until melted. Let cool; chill for 30 minutes, then whisk until thickened to a spreadable consistency.

Peel and cut as many apples need to fill a 9x9 baking dish, about 6-8, depending on size. In a bowl, mis ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp each of nutmeg and cinnamon, and 2 tbsp flour. Coat the apples with that mixture and put them into baking dish. Sprinkle 2 tbsp lemon juice over the apples. Topping is 1 cube (½ cup) butter melted, 1 cup each flour and sugar.

COCONUT KEY LIME PIE
Coconut Key
Lime Bars
A pistachio and coconut graham crust compliments the tangy key lime bar filling. Try garnishing this tart treat with coconut whipped cream and a slice of lime.
Ingredients:
6 sheets graham crackers, quartered
½ C shelled pistachios
¼ C granulated sugar
¼ C shredded coconut
3 Tbsp coconut oil, melted
½ C fresh key lime juice
2 egg yolks

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. To make crust, add graham crackers to FourSide Jar and secure lid. Press “Pulse” 3-5 times. Add next 4 ingredients and secure lid. Press “Pulse” 6-8 times until crust reaches a coarse crumb texture. Press crust evenly onto bottom of 8-inch square pan. Bake crust for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool (leave oven on). To make filling, add remaining ingredients to clean jar and secure lid. Select “Sauces”. Spread filling evenly over crust using a spatula. Bake, until filling is just set, approximately 10 minutes. Let cool completely and refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

KNEADERS KEY LIME PIE (TARTS)
1) It’s easiest to remove the lime zest from whole limes so start with that.
2) Cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice being careful to not include any seeds
3) Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl until tinted light green. This takes about 2 minutes.
4) Beat in the milk, then juice and set aside at room temp till it thickens.
5) Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
6) Pour mixture into tart crusts ( I just made mine from graham cracker crumbs from the store and shaped them in the cupcake or tart pans), bake for 5 minutes until the center is set, but still wiggles when shaken.
7) Remove from the oven and cool to room temp.
8) Refrigerate for at least three hours until well chilled.
9) Serve with whipped cream topping and decorate with a lime wedge.

LEMON CHESS PIE
Southern Pie Very Very Good!!
1) Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter and shortening into 1/4-inch pieces and toss them into the dry ingredients by hand to evenly distribute them. Now use a pastry blender to cut them into the flour until they are the size of small peas.
2) Sprinkle in half of the water and toss well with a fork. Add the remaining water a teaspoon at a time until the pastry will pack into a ball.
3) Knead the dough once or twice. Then place it on a large sheet of plastic wrap and flatten it into a 3/4-inch-thick disk. Wrap the disk in the plastic and chill it for about 1 hour. You can chill it longer, but it may get too firm; just let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before rolling.
4) Working atop a sheet of lightly floured waxed paper, roll the pie pastry into a 12-inch circle with a flour-dusted rolling pin. Invert the rolled pastry over a 9-inch pie pan and peel off the paper. Gently fit the pastry into the pan without stretching it and pinch the edge into a fluted rim. Chill the shell in the freezer for 15 minutes before using.

FUDGY CHOCOLATE CAKE
Serves 8
6 oz white chocolate, for garnish
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup plus 3 TBSP sugar
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 3 TBSP unsweetened coco powder
1 tsp salt
4 large eggs
1/2 pint heavy cream
10 1/2 oz semisweet chocolate (if you prefer milk chocolate, try that)
1) Finely grate white chocolate onto a plate using a vegetable peeler. Chill until needed. Preheat oven to 350.
2) Grease the base of two 8" round cake pans; line with parchment paper. Combine butter, sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer set on medium, beat until smooth. Continue beating until increased in volume, about 2 minutes longer. Divide batter between pans.
3) Bake cakes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Leave cakes in pan to cool for 1 minute, then turn onto a wire rack. Peel off lining paper; let cool.
4) Meanwhile, heat heavy cream just to a boil. Break chocolate into pieces; add to cream and stir until melted. Let cool; chill for 30 minutes, then whisk until thickened to a spreadable consistency.
5) Use a third of chocolate frosting to sandwich cakes. Spread the remainder over the whole cake. Sprinkle reserved grated white chocolate to garnish.
Great ideas: For a super light cake, be sure to beat the cake mixture thoroughly to introduce plenty of air into it, encouraging the cake to rise
Serving suggestions: Who doesn't love cake and ice cream? Serve this rich chocolate cake with your favorite ice cream flavor or whipped cream.

APPLE COBBLER
Peel and cut as many apples need to fill a 9x9 baking dish, about 6-8, depending on size. In a bowl, mis ½ cup sugar, 1 tsp each of nutmeg and cinnamon, and 2 tbsp flour. Coat the apples with that mixture and put them into baking dish. Sprinkle 2 tbsp lemon juice over the apples. Topping is 1 cube (½ cup) butter melted, 1 cup each flour and sugar. Mix those ingredients together coarsely and crumble over apples. Bake at 375 until apples give up their juices—about 50 minutes, sometimes longer.

- ½ cup fresh lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
- 4 teaspoons grated lime zest
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 – 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 8 3” tart shells

2) Cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice being careful to not include any seeds
3) Whisk the egg yolks and lime zest together in a bowl until tinted light green. This takes about 2 minutes.
4) Beat in the milk, then juice and set aside at room temp till it thickens.
5) Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
6) Pour mixture into tart crusts ( I just made mine from graham cracker crumbs from the store and shaped them in the cupcake or tart pans), bake for 5 minutes until the center is set, but still wiggles when shaken.
7) Remove from the oven and cool to room temp.
8) Refrigerate for at least three hours until well chilled.
9) Serve with whipped cream topping and decorate with a lime wedge.

LEMON CHESS PIE
Southern Pie Very Very Good!!
- Ingredients
- Foolproof Pie Shell
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fine yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (optional)
- Instructions
- Prepare, chill, and prebake a Foolproof Pie Shell. Reduce the oven temperature to 350º.
- Whisk together the sugar, cornmeal, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and egg yolk and whisk well. Whisk in the milk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract if using. Then slowly pour the filling into the cooled pie shell.
- Bake the pie on the center oven rack for about 45 to 50 minutes, turning it 180 degrees halfway through. When done, the top will be dark golden brown, and the filling will be set except for the very center, which may jiggle slightly when you tap the pan.
- Cool the pie on a wire rack. Serve it at room temperature or cover and chill until serving time. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
- FOOLPROOF PIE SHELL
- Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup cold vegetable shortening
- 4 tablespoons cold water
2) Sprinkle in half of the water and toss well with a fork. Add the remaining water a teaspoon at a time until the pastry will pack into a ball.
3) Knead the dough once or twice. Then place it on a large sheet of plastic wrap and flatten it into a 3/4-inch-thick disk. Wrap the disk in the plastic and chill it for about 1 hour. You can chill it longer, but it may get too firm; just let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before rolling.
4) Working atop a sheet of lightly floured waxed paper, roll the pie pastry into a 12-inch circle with a flour-dusted rolling pin. Invert the rolled pastry over a 9-inch pie pan and peel off the paper. Gently fit the pastry into the pan without stretching it and pinch the edge into a fluted rim. Chill the shell in the freezer for 15 minutes before using.
