  • ½ cup chopped carrots
  • 1½ cups macoroni (optional)
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1½ tbsp chicken bullion
  • 2 tsp salt

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

This makes a huge amount of food and the pasta gets soggy if you try serving it a day or more after making it. Think very carefully about how much you need before you decide to double this recipe. If you expect to have leftovers you should probably not include the macoroni.
