Chicken Noodle Soup

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.
