Alright, we all know it’s summer and therefore it’s hot… but sometimes don’t you still want that really good soup but don’t want to heat up your house to get it… well then enjoy a nice/easy crockpot soup… Not to mention the super yummy & super easy marshmallow brownies as well.

Cockatrice Creamy Chicken Wild Rice Soup

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of celery soup

2 cans chicken stock (15 oz each)

1/2 c. water

2 boxes Long Grain & Wild Rice (I prefer the Rice-A-Roni)

1/2 c. 1/4inch diced carrots

1/2 c. thinly sliced celery

1/2 small onion finely diced

2 Tb. parsley

1/2 pint half & half

2 tsp. garlic powder

salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

In a 6 quart crock pot combine both breasts (frozen), 2 cans of chicken stock, 1/2 c. water, cream of chicken, cream of celery, 1 box of the rice including seasoning packet, garlic powder, salt & pepper and parsley. Cook on high for about 3 hours. Pull out cooked chicken and dice into 1 inch cubes and add back to crockpot and turn the temperature to low. Add the second box of rice including seasoning packet to pot. Add diced carrots, sliced celery and diced onion. Give a good stir and add the half pint of half & half. This is the time to add a little more salt and pepper to your liking. Continue to cook for another 4 or so hours (really it could be done at any point but this helps the flavor to come together). If it’s too thick then just add some more milk to thin it down. Suggestion: serve in warmed and hollowed out bread bowls or with a nice crusty french bread. Freezes well for up to 2 months.

*Note* It’s a crockpot recipe, right?, OK so if you don’t have all day to be home or less time to prepare it in then add everything at the beginning and start with the chicken already defrosted and cubed in 1 inch pieces. Cook for about 4 hours or so.

Corellon Chocolate Marshmallow-Gooey Brownies

1 box of ready to make brownie mix

1/2 c. teeny tiny marshmallows

jar of hot fudge sauce

jar of marshmallow topping

Directions:
Prepare brownies and bake as directed being sure to add teeny tiny marshmallows to the batter. Let cool most of the way. When brownies are slightly warm add approximately 6 dollops of hot fudge sauce to top. Let sit on brownies for a minute or so. This will allow the fudge to warm and be much much easier to spread. Spread across brownies evenly. In a swirling back and forth pattern add the marshmallow topping. Let it sit for a minute as well. Using the sharp end of a knife draw the marshmallow in straight lines through the chocolate topping to create a nice swirling pattern. It’s not required just a pretty embellishment
