Sabr's World of Eating: No. 3

Sabr's (Healthy!) Cheesy Potato Chicken Soup

6 Cups Water
6 Medium/Small Potatoes
3-4 Carrots
1/2 of a Yellow Onion
2-4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
1-2 Cups Milk
1/2 Cup Cheese (I've used both sharp cheddar and those pre-sliced sandwich cheese squares) Don't use non-fat or soy, they don't melt well.

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot.
In the meantime, peel and dice the potatoes, carrots, and onion.
Toss the vegetables into the boiling water. After the water is at a rolling boil for about 5 minutes, turn it down to a high simmer.
While watching the pot, dice the chicken and cook in a separate pan.
When the vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes into the simmer) toss in the chicken, the milk, and the cheese. You may want to shred the cheese before hand to aid in the melting.
Season to taste. I use garlic/garlic salt, red pepper flakes (use sparingly!!) and black pepper.

Keep in mind all these ingredients are approximate, so feel free to use more or less depending on what you like and don't like.

Happy Eating!
