2-3 potatoes peeled and cut into chunks,

a can of whole tomatoes,

and a bag of frozen whole kernel corn.


While that returns to a boil, shred the chicken.

Return the chicken to the broth.

Pretty sure I could eat this everyday! Mexican chicken soups are so delicious and not fattening. They are often my choice.

I'm so glad you joined a book club! It's surprising to me how much I'm enjoying it. :)
The group really has forced me out of my reading comfort zone and the conversation is great. Last time one of the girls said, "This sounds really nerdy but I'm sure enjoying this intelligent conversation." It's so true! We also tend to relate to the stories on some level or some way and that leads off to tangent conversations. It's so much fun.

Let me know what books y'all choose.
