Chicken Tetrazzini Soup





So, apparently the woman who created the dish known as Chicken Tetrazzini lived in San Francisco. http://http//members.cox.net/jjschnebel/chicktet.html




Well, of course I was going to turn this delicious meal into a soup! Turns out, it is a favorite in our house and I can't wait to make it again!
Here's the recipe:
2-3 chicken breasts, seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper-broil and let rest, then dice



2 tbls butter



1-2 tbls olive oil



1 onion, diced



5 garlic cloves, minced



1/2 cup dry sherry or white wine



nutmeg



3-4 tbls fresh herbs-lemon thyme, oregano, flat leaf parsley



1 cup heavy cream



1 can cream of chicken soup



32 oz chicken broth



zest and juice of 1 lemon






Saute onions in butter and olive oil. When soft and transparent, add garlic and cook about 1 minute Add about 1/2 cup of dry sherry or white wine, reduce for about 10 minutes.
Add heavy cream and cream of chicken soup to onion mixture. Bring to a low boil and add a few dashes of nutmeg. Add fresh herbs and diced chicken. Bring to a boil. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker and add 32 oz of chicken broth and the zest and juice of a lemon. Turn to low and enjoy whenever!
