Seriously, it has been crazy cold here in Michigan this past week. Below freezing temps but it did manage to warm up just a bit in order to snow! The girls think this is the best thing since popcorn. Karolyn is going around picking up the snow off the ground and eating it. Of course, not to be outdone by her sister, Sydney is following suit!
So with all these cold temps I was in the mood for some homemade soup. My grandma made the best, bar none, homemade chicken noodle soup. She would slice up the carrots and celery and some onion. Get that all good and happy in the pot before she added the chicken stock and the left over chopped up chicken. Then for the piest de resistance, she would add her homemade egg noodles. Homemade egg noodles. YUMMMMMM. It didn't get any better than that I tell you what. I can still taste those noodles. Thick chewy noodles. Not like the mushy ones in the Campbell's cans but a noodle that you can really bite into. Was I spoiled or what?
Well I made the soup just like grandma but without the homemade noodles. Carrots, celery, a bit of onion, chunks of chicken, and I added some kidney beans and Barilla noodles. WOW... Amazing.
