INSTRUCTIONS

I posted a recipe for Potato Cheddar Soup a day or two ago. There were a
few other soups in the article from MOTHER EARTH NEWS (Feb/Mar 94) which I
thought to share with you, too. Enjoy!
In soup pot, saute chicken in oil. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and
set aside.  Saute garlic & onion in remaining oil. Add celery, zucchini,
tomatoes w/juice, chicken broth, water, herbs, spices, chicken & beans.
Simmer, covered, for approx. 30 mins. Add pasta & simmer for 15 more mins.
Taste and add additional seasonings if desired. Serve topped w/ grated
cheese, parsley or basil.
