When I was little and it was 5 degrees outside, but felt more like 10 below nothing tasted better than my mom's grilled cheese and soup. Now that I've gotten older, I've developed my own 'twist' to the average grilled cheese which I can do in about 20 minutes, and with the demands of our busy lives, 20 minutes is sometimes all we've got.
I suggest getting everything out for all three recipes in the beginning so you do not have to go and hunt around.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes (varies depending on your stove and temperatures used)
Servings: Varies depending on how much you serve. Plenty for you and a friend to share and have leftovers for to warm you up later.
Ingredients
* 3 cans of chicken broth (42 ounces total)
* 2 cups water
* 2 cans stewed tomatoes (30 ounces total)
* 1 onion (Vidalia works best)
* 2 celery stalks - Chopped up
* 8 ounces of your favorite thick pasta, fettuccine or linguine are my preferences
Directions
Chop up onion and celery before starting. Fill a large pot will all above ingredients. Bring the pot to a boil while stirring occasionally. Watch the celery and check to see that it's getting tender. When it's to a boil, lower the heat (medium low) and allow it to simmer. Add the pasta and cook for the length of time directed on the package. Add any salt, pepper or other seasonings to bring it to your liking.
Once you've got it started, go ahead and move on to getting your sandwich started. The sandwich will take about 15 minutes total (prep and cook time) so you'll want to start and move quickly during prep.
