Description

Daddy's sloppy soup recipe is a one-pot meal made with a warming mix of chicken, tomatoes, and frozen vegetables slowly simmered to hearty perfection.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, diced
3 pounds chicken drumsticks
2 (28 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
2 (28 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 (20 ounce) package frozen cauliflower and broccoli
1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn
1/4 cup uncooked barley
1/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni

Directions

1 Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion; cook until brown. Add chicken, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until chicken is fork-tender, about 45 minutes.
2 Transfer chicken to a cutting board using tongs; cool slightly. Remove meat from chicken; transfer to a plate and discard bones. Skim cooking liquid; return chicken to the pot.
3 Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, cauliflower and broccoli, corn, barley, and macaroni to the pot; cook, stirring occasionally, until barley and macaroni are tender, about 30 minutes.
