Fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, oreos- OH MY.

Today has been a day (and it's not even noon yet) where I could eat a horse, a shoe, the moon....anything if it was dipped in gravy, chocolate or deep fried. I love eating food....real food. Not gravy or fried foods. But food that actually had a mother or was grown from the ground.  I love the way I feel when I eat fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts...ect. But I do have days when I love, love, love and want, want, want me some serious amounts of fake food. The girls just started gymnastics and it is right next to Chicken Express. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I have to drive by, park by, smell chicken express every Tuesday? Fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, fried pickles.....

I know better (although knowing better doesn't always help, ha!)....I like feeling healthy, not feeling greasy, not feeling weighed down by the tasty goodness of crap....so today I am trying a new soup recipe to try CURB my internal drive for nastyness. I thought I would share it with you all. It seems to have a good mix of healthyness, tastyness, and easy to make. Here is what I did- 

2 chicken breast

4 cups chicken broth

1 can diced tomatoes (I dumped it in before I realized it had "basil and garlic added) 

chopped onion

diced garlic

scallions

cilantro 

added some water

small amount of cummin

small amount of chiplotle 

salt and pepper to taste

I sauteed the onions and garlic for a bit then added the rest. I didn't shred the chicken first, I figured I would let it do that as it cooks down. I think if you have the time boiling a bone in chicken would be best....but today- with my appetite, I HAVE NO TIME. The ingredients that have no measurements are due to the fact that I did not measure them ....it's an eyeball it kinda thing. I started this at 10am and and hoping to eat it for lunch. 

I will keep you posted on the taste....smells GOOD, and REAL. WOW. I am going to top it with sliced avocado. Here is to hoping some real, good food will comfort my wondering appetite.
