Hello again. I owe another apology. I clearly haven't been updating every day as promised. I'm not going to lie, my mind has been elsewhere for the past few weeks. A lot has been going on and I chose different outlets to keep my mind off of things instead of the blog. (ie video games/ TV)
So, here it is, finally.
Homemade chicken noodle soup!
To start off, I chopped hearty slices of carrots.
Didn't stand a chance...I also chopped up a white onion.
Slice and dice.Although I didn't photograph it, I made the broth by sticking the leftover cornish hens and their bones in water and cooked it in the crock-pot over night. I then removed the bones and added the carrots and onions.
Smells good already!I let it cook for about 4 hours or so. I then had to decide what kind of noodles to use.
I used these things. I decided that the thickness of these pasta balls would withstand the heartiness of the soup without losing too much starch.
This was a gamble, cooking the pasta in the crock-pot.I watched nervously and waited another hour for the pasta to cook.
Not too bad!Looks like I won the great guessing game of cooking with this recipe. :) The noodles were cooked properly and everything tasted great. It really felt like a home cooked soup.
Delicious.Needless to say, everyone went back for seconds. Some went for thirds.
