So since we live with Morgen's parents we have jobs to do instead of paying rent. One of my jobs is that I cook 3 nights a week. Its sometimes a challange to be able to come up with recipies that everyone will eat. Infact I would go as far as to say that there is at least one person every meal that doesn't like what I cooked. Its hard, Morgen's mom can't have a lot of salt, and thinks that Pepper is to hot of a spice, Morgen and I are allergic to fish, I don't eat read meat, and Morgen's brother's won't eat casarolle, don't even get me started on the fact that Garrick thinks Potatoes are of the devil. So when I do find a recipie that everyone likes it automaticlly becomes a favorite.
I'm one of those make up the recipie as you go along kind of people, so I didn't get this from anywhere, I made it up on the spot and It tasted wonderful!

1 large can low sodium chicken broth

I thought this dish might be to spicy for my MIL but even she liked it. I added some salsa to the soup when I ate it to spice it up a little.
