So, with the chilly-willy-nilly cold weather out, I decided that soup was called for this evening.......Hence, the Iron Chef (me, myself and I) went to work.......I did a rendition of a Chicken Minestrone, and I have to admit, dudes.......It  turned out pretty killer / super deadly delicious if I say so myself....Here's how I made it....- In my trusted soup pot, I sauteed four very thin, well seasoned Chicken Breasts, in a lil' bit of Olive Oil...Once the Chicken Breasts are beautifully sauteed on both sides, I removed them and added three lovely, bright, sliced Carrots, a large sliced Zucchini, and a large sliced Yellow Squash........Using a wooden spoon, at this point, you're gonna wanna scrape all the yummy deliciousness left on the bottom of the pot left by the Chicken.........Add some Sea Salt, freshly ground Black Pepper, dry Thyme, Garlic Powder, dry Basil, and a House Blend of different seasonings...  (I just measure using the palm of my hand...)...Now, add a can of RINSED Kidney Beans, and a can of RINSED White Northern Beans.........Allow all of the veggies to cook and develop that gorgeous color....  (Around 7 minutes or so....)..Add the sliced Chicken Breasts (and any / all juice) back in.........Next, add (2) large cartons of BEEF Stock ....  (I use Pacific {brand} Organic Stock...)...Cook on Medium-Low for about an hour or so.......Add in a few handfuls of Small Shells Pasta, and allow to cook...  (8-10 minutes)....Turn off the heat and add / stir in 3-4 handfuls of fresh Baby Spinach  ...Serve and enjoy!P.S.- Serve with a crusty French Baguette (or bread of your choice) for soup juice dipping.......I actually scored one from Panera Bread earlier and thoroughly enjoyed it with the delicious mentioned above Chicken Minestrone....           4951

@thegoodwife...Nice catch, dude....  .....Nice catch........Many thanks to you, I was able to edit and "Add the Chicken back in"....  ....I mean, snapdragons...  You gotta have Chicken in Chicken Minestrone!Insert: Big Grin ...Now, what exactly is "Goulosh".......Back growing up, it was usually just a mish-mash of all the leftovers....(And I opted for a PB&J instead!) 4951

@yankeejessica: My husband makes it not me. It's really lacking in flavor. You would probably be better off going on Pinterest or the Food Network - It's a cheap cut of beef, onions, Ketchup, Worstershire sauce, that all I know. It's really not one of my favorite meals. When we started dating he made it with venison, I ate it - just being nice. I'm a city girl and venison doesn't appeal to me. I feel bad for bambi.

I may have to do this tomorrow without the chicken and use vegetable stock so oldest and me can eat it.

@BooBearI actually added the Chicken Breasts for my hubbs.......He insists that he NEEDS meat......But if it was just gonna be for me, I would have simply substituted shrooms for the Chicken........Maybe some sliced up Baby Bella and Button Shrooms....   ....Mmmmm    Mmmmmm..........And I only used the Beef Stock for a more intense, indept flavor, but good ole Vegetable Stock would be equally as delicious in my Iron Chef professional opinion...  P.S.- Check out the Pacific Brand Organic Vegetable stock....  WAY better flavor profile than Swansons in my humble opinion.... 4951
