Ok so on Monday we made “red pesto” chicken and we were left with a decent amount of delicious chicken and left over juices with tomatoes from the pan.  For everybody who have kept all the juices and tomatoes, like I advised on Monday, here’s what we are going to do with them.  Now the juices have been in the fridge for a day or two, time to get it out and use it to make a delicious and filling soup that will for sure please everybody and save you some precious time in the kitchen.

– INGREDIENTS –

2 cups of “Red Pesto” Chicken juices with tomatoes

1-2 branches of fresh silver thyme

2 cups of water

3 tablespoons of tomato paste

1/2 cup of shredded, cooked “Red Pesto” chicken

1/2 cup of corn bits (frozen or fresh)

1/2 cup of cooked quinoa

Salt and Pepper to adjust the taste
