Chicken Soup for the Soul and Zaycon Foods Review

You know how I LOVE Zaycon Foods, right? Well guess what? They’ve teamed up with Chicken Soup for the Soul in a partnership that just feels right. Chicken Soup for the soul is now selling comfort foods {makes perfect sense, right?!} and Zaycon Foods is carrying their line! Their partnership makes it easier for you to get fresh, yummy and wholesome food outside of the traditional retail channels.

Their line includes soups, broths gravies, etc. One thing I love about their line {aside from the fact the products are delicious, because they totally are} is that it complements my Zaycon products perfectly.  And their products make cooking a snap, which leaves me less frazzled at dinnertime. I try to avoid that because it takes away from the real purpose of gathering around a table for a meal. Schedules are crazy and hectic, and sitting around the dinner table allows us to pause that craziness and just enjoy each others company while we catch up.

So the other night I grilled up some Zaycon chicken, slapped some of the Chicken Soup for the Soul BBQ sauce on it and used one of their recipes {so many good recipes to choose from!} to make some seriously yummy Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

Ingredients

32 oz Chicken Soup for the Soul Chicken Broth
5 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1½ lb russet potatoes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream {I used sour cream}

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Wrap garlic cloves and olive oil in aluminum foil forming a pouch and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and soft. Peel potatoes if you’d like {some people like them with skins on} and then cut into cubes. In a large stock pot, cover potatoes with broth and simmer for about 25 minutes or until very tender. Drain and add garlic, olive oil, butter and cream {or sour cream}. Mash  with a potaot masher or if you like smooth, chunk-free potatoes, you can use a hand or stand mixer.

And just like that, a full meal is served! It was lip smackin good.

ps. Even though Chicken Soup for the Soul and Zaycon Foods provided me with some complimentary products to try out, they didn’t force me to love them. I did that all on my own! 😉
