Quick Creamy chicken and mushroom pasta:
1!. Prepare a packet of the low-fat vegetable soup according to the instructions (usually adding boiling water)!. Use a large bowl/pot!.
2!. Prepare pasta as per instructions!.
3!. In a saucepan, saute some mushrooms and onions in olive oil, add chicken strips and brown then add some green and red bell peppers and saute over medium heat for a few minutes!.
4!. Add the above contents of the saucepan into the prepared veg soup!. Stir in some shredded low-fat cheddar or gouda cheese!. Sprinkle with some mixed herbs and salt and pepper to taste!.
Tip: The veg soup has plenty of flavour and salt so added salt and pepper may not be necessary!. i usually do not need to add anything to the pasta or the saucepan ingredients and if you use a large bowl to prepare the veg soup it makes for less dishes and clean-up when the rest is added to it later!.
5!. Spoon over the pasta and serve!.
This is pretty quick and delicious!.
