Chicken Broccoli Quiche

2 T Helmans mayo
2 Jumbo eggs beaten or 4 large eggs
2 T flour
½ cup milk
8 oz Cheddar Cheese grated
1 1/2 cups diced or shredded chicken
3/4 cup steamed chopped broccoli
¼ cup green onion – include stalks
9” Deep-dish pie shell – unbaked (I use Pillsbury in the dairy )
Squeeze broccoli dry with paper towels.
Combine all ingredients and pour into the unbaked pie crust.  Bake at 425 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until set (stick a knife in, it it comes out wet it isn't done yet).  If you want to make a 12 inch quiche pan you need 1 ½ of the recipe.  It shouldn’t need to bake longer.

Vegetable Beef Soup 

4 ingredients+


1 lb ground beef browned and drained
46 ounces tomato juice ( I use v-8 spicy)*
1 bag frozen vegetables
1 can low sodium beef broth ***
Red pepper flakes - use sparingly to taste
optional- add any other fresh veggies on hand chopped small (I use 2 med red potatoes peeled , 1 small red pepper, chopped carrots and celery, 2 small zucchini as we like a hearty soup)

Brown the ground beef, drain fat and add all remaining ingredients. If you like some pasta in the soup, I recommend cooking pasta separately and adding cooked pasta to bowl before soup instead of cooking in the soup. That way the pasta doesn't keep cooking and get too mushy.

    * For lower sodium, use low sodium V8 juice and add some red pepper flakes to spice it up.
 ** If you want more broth, add another can or two depending on how many veggies you add!
