Broccoli Cheddar Soup w/ Rice & Chicken
Quick, easy, healthy, and delicious. These are the keys to the perfect one pan meal, especially when you are a single person. Let be real here no one wants to spend hours in the kitchen for themselves, though this doesn’t mean they want to eat ramen noodles every night either. We single eaters want real food. The kind we can sink our teeth into, and look back on with fond memories. We want satisfying food that also happens to be fairly easy to prepare. We should probably mention easy clean up, inexpensive, quick, uncomplicated, you know because it’s only for one person, why make it hard?
Yeah we are asking a lot, but I think we deserve it.
I also think that his meal has all of those qualities. It is a super hearty soup that you can whip up easily, and has the added benefit of being cheesy. Everyone likes cheese right? Well everyone without a dairy allergy likes cheese right? Moving on.
Are you ready for this? There are 8 ingredients; even including oil, salt & pepper which are usually considered freebies. Oh and it only requires one pot. If you really want to you could probably skip the bowls and eat right out of the pot. I mean its fewer dishes to wash so technically you are saving the environment.
Woah. We are doing big things with this recipe over here.

    A large percentage of of the things you articulate happens to be supprisingly appropriate and that makes me wonder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light before. Your article truly did switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular topic goes. Nonetheless at this time there is one particular position I am not necessarily too cozy with and while I try to reconcile that with the actual core idea of the issue, allow me see exactly what all the rest of your visitors have to say.Nicely done.
