Chicken Soup

Simple Chicken Soup made with a rotisserie chicken. Find the recipe by Tracy Benjamin on Shutterbean.com

One of the best ways to turn a store-bought rotisserie chicken into something truly comforting is to make a simple, homemade Chicken Soup. I made a batch before we left for Idaho earlier this month, and when we got back, I was so happy to find it waiting for me in the freezer—like a little gift to myself. I always stash some away for a rainy day because there’s nothing better than having homemade soup ready when you need it.

My Chicken Soup is packed with celery, carrots, and a good dose of green from the spinach. If you know someone who’s under the weather (’tis the season!), a batch of this soup will help get them back on their feet—especially with a shot or two of my fire cider.

Stay healthy out there, folks!

Intentions for the Week

 

Intentions for the Week Workbook by Tracy Benjamin now on sale!

Intentions for the Week- Week 5 in 2025

Hi hiiiiii! We are on week 5!  We had a pretty chill weekend. I went on a long walk my friend Caley, cleaned house, got to square one with laundry, had a playdate with my friend Lisa and hosted  Self-Check-In yesterday to map out my Intentions for the Week.  Casey worked on re-caulking the kitchen sink this weekend so I didn’t get to meal prep. I’ll probably piece mail it together in evenings this week. 

This week I am hosting a journal night Show & Tell this Friday for paid Substack subscribers
Here are the details. 

Bring your currently workbook. I wanna see what you’re working on this year and I’ll show you all of mine to help inspire you to keep on track.

Currently Workbook 2024

My Everyday Life Week 03 of 2025- Tracy Benjamin of Shutterbean.com

Hi there! 👋 If you’ve noticed fewer recipes here on Shutterbean over the past year, it’s because I’ve been channeling my creative energy into growing The Handwriting Club on Substack and expanding my YouTube channel (I made timelapse videos of all of my spreads!).  Over the past year, I’ve been sharing the pages from my Currently Workbook on Substack instead of here.  I wrote a post about my Currently Workbook 2024 if you wanna see more inside (including my self-portrait pages).  

Here are my spreads/posts for the past year.  Click the month and you’ll see more!
