Creamy Chicken & Vegetable Soup

When I was in my teens I had the biggest crush on the lead singer of a band called a-ha! Yes – you might know them for their hit “Take on Me” but, they had so many more hits marked by brilliant melodies, lyrics and vocals – like for example this song: “Did Anyone Approach You” (guaranteed to have you bobbing your head and tapping your feet too). Back then all I ever did was look and drool from afar (a whole continent afar). Much like I did when it came to luscious and creamy soups!

Creamy Chicken & Vegetable Soup

Yes, I have (digestive) issues with milk that go way back. So, as much as I love creamy soups, I’ve shied away from them, opting for broth based soups instead. However, a couple of weeks ago when my daughter and I were at Sprouts, I came across a2 Milk®.

a2milk-Sprouts

The label got me curious and I Googled it to find that a2 Milk® is natural milk that comes from selected cows that naturally produce only the A2 protein; while ordinary cows’ milk contains A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins. Apparently, A2 protein is digested differently to A1 – thus making it more suitable for those of us with stomach churning issues from regular milk.

A2 Milk

I brought home a half gallon and figured I’d put it to the test – the only way I knew how. I picked a Friday night so I wouldn’t have to call out sick the next day due to “digestive distress” and had a date with a tall, cold glass of a2 Milk®. And the lack of any signs of digestive distress was quite pleasantly surprising!

So, I figured I’d go a step ahead and whip up a batch of creamy chicken and vegetable soup for my daughter and I. And y’all this soup was quite pleasantly surprising. Creamy and simply luscious, with such a depth of flavor from the onions, garlic, ginger, paprika, and tomato paste. The vegetables, chicken, spices, stock, gluten free flour and milk united in such perfect harmony that they had my daughter saying this was the best soup she has had!

At my age, I was more Beatles fan in my teens. :) I remember their first appearance on Ed Sullivan. I REFUSED to go to bed that night which was not like me at all. I always did as I was told but not that night. :)

It's really hot here now but I would enjoy your chicken and vegetable soup!
