Dora soup!

About once each week or every other week, my girls get a special treat for lunch.  Our local Walmart has Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup with Dora pasta shapes for $1 (they also sell Disney pricess soup, Cars, Toy Story, etc.). The Dora characters are the attraction, it's definitely not the flavor or nutritional content.

I can't in good conscience feed my kids canned soup.  After several internet searches, I can't find Dora pasta or anything similar that is affordable.  Canned soups are generally full of salt, chicken scraps and very few vegetable pieces.  So we have to alter it a bit...

First, I drain most of the salty liquid out of the soup.  I don't worry about a few drops, as the liquid provides flavor.  Then I add a few pieces of our frozen chicken pieces (see previous blog post), some frozen corn, peas and carrots.  I add a little water to get it back to the consistency of soup.  Then I put it all in the microwave for a minute and we enjoy Dora soup.
