AROMA 22Qt. Roaster Oven we love this roaster oven! You don’t need it for the soup, but if you’re not buying a pre-cooked chicken, try this roaster to cook your chicken for the soup. Yum!

Salad bowl set of 4. These oval ceramic dishes can be used for salad or other side dishes, even soup.
Such a beautiful color!

Skeleton Hands Salad Tongs. We bought our skeleton hands at the dollar store and use them for serving salad. They work really well and are an interesting conversation starter.

Bamboo cutting boards set of 3. I have at least six different size cutting boards, including this set. We also use them for wooden trivets to protect counter surfaces from hot pans and baking dishes.

Salad Toppers. These are available at my grocery store. I particularly like the blueberries and pecans combination. I top my plain oatmeal with dried fruit/nut toppers and then nuke it; afterward I add chopped strawberries or blueberries. So good for you!

Have fun putting together this delicious, delightful soup for yourself, your family, your friends. Let me know if you make this soup or if you have any questions. Enjoy!
