Method

  1. Sauté garlic and chicken in a boiler or stock pot that has been generously coated with cooking spray for 1 minute. Add onion and carrots and cook 1 minute. Add peas and corn, cook 1 minute more.
  2. Add water, stock powder and tarragon, bring to boil.
  3. Add uncooked pasta to pot and mix in well, bring to boil. Reduce to a medium boil for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally so pasta doesn’t stick to the base.
  4. Add skim milks, evaporated milk, parsley and pepper to taste. Stir in well. Once boiled take off heat as evaporated milk can separate when over boiled.

Suitable to be frozen for 2-3 weeks.
