After Mitchell made his soup, it was Leslie’s turn to pick something to make with mom. She chose a recipe from the family favorite list, Ritz chicken!

Several weeks ago now, Mitchell chose to prepare Chicken Riddle Soup for our enjoyment, and enjoy it we did! What’s the riddle, you ask? Why did the chicken cross the road? To get a cup of soup! 🙂 This is another recipe from our Pampered Chef Kids in the Kitchen cookbook. Mitchell had a good …
