Warming Autumn Soup

My all time favorite season is just around the corner, so I figured with all these soup recipes floating around that I’d post my own! I make this all the time when it’s cold, and the leftovers are amazing too. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your liking.

Ingredients:

2 cups of water

2 cups of chicken stock

2 cans of cream of chicken

¾ Cup of milk 

3 Bay leaves

1 tablespoon of pepper

1 tablespoon salt

1 Tablespoon Rosemary

1 Tablespoon Basil

1 Tablespoon Oregano

1 Tablespoon Sage

You can substitute the above ingredients with dried herbs/seasonings or just use 2 tablespoons of italian seasoning

1 Cup of carrots cut into circles

2 cups of yellow or red (or both) potatoes

½ Cup of green beans

½ Cup of corn

4 cloves of diced garlic

½ cup of diced onions

2 large chicken breasts cut up into bite size pieces

Steps:

First cook the chicken pieces until they’re white both inside and out! You do this by boiling it, cooking it in a pan, baking, however you want! Feel free to season it a bit if you want to add more flavor to the meat, but it’s not required at this step!

While the chicken is cooking (I usually boil or Pan cook my chicken) go ahead and prepare your vegetables. Since this is a witchy stew, I like to ground myself and think happy thoughts while I’m doing this step. I always wish for whoever I’m making this soup for enjoys it and feels great afterwards. If you have those little bento veggie cutter shapes this would be a great time to use them!

Once this is done, get a large pot ready and put it on the stove at high heat. Go ahead and add in your water, herbs, chicken stock, veggies, seasonings, and cooked chicken, then cover with a lid. You could cook the chicken at this part, but I just like to cook if beforehand because you can never be too careful when cooking chicken. Beef is okay rare and stuff, but poultry HAS to be cooked all the way through or you could easily get sick. Stir occasionally.

Now you can just sit here and chill, maybe say a chant if you’d like while you wait for the veggies to cook. This should take about 20-25 minutes for them all to be cooked through. Honestly this is my favorite part because the house just smells amazing while it’s all cooking. 

Once it’s done turn the heat down to low-medium and wait for it to stop boiling before you add in your cream of chicken and milk. I do this part last because any other time I add it these two ingredients in it always turns out with the milk curdling or getting weird. 

I add in the cream of chicken to give it a little extra thickness. 1 can for semi-thickness and 2 for super good thickness. Add in however much you like. Now just sit there and put it on low completely with the lid on, stirring occasionally, until it’s all mixed in and nice and thick.

And tada! It’s done and now you have some delicious soup for the chilly days and nights. when Autumn rolls around this year I’m gonna try and make some homemade bread to go with it. If I do I’ll post or link the recipe on this blog.

I hope you enjoyed this recipe.

🍲 Cock-a-leeky Soup 🍲

Cock-a-Leeky soup (chicken and leek) is a really old and traditional Scottish soup. I make it with rice but you can add pearled barley instead if you want. This Scottish soup is traditionally served as the starter on Bruns night. It is delicious as an autumn and winter soup. I have to say it is really light so you might need something on the side to make it a full dinner. I love eating them with fresh warm cheddar scones.

I discovered this soup not a long time ago and I love it. It is really easy to do and really cheap as well. It makes my home smells really good!

🔮Magical correspondences🔮

This soup can be made to attract protection and love. In any case, if you to attract stir your soup clockwise. I like to bless my ingredients before I start cooking and also I light a white candle and meditate a few breath on the intention I want to infuse when cooking.

Leek: protection, love

Onion: protection, lust

Thyme: Love
