Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

Made chicken soup from scratch for the second time this year! Kirk was sick last week when I first attempted making it and it came out pretty darn good. (at least thats what he told me since I'm a vegetarian) This second time around I have mended my mistakes and hopefully tonight it will be really darn good :) Thought I'd share the recipe I've been toying around with:

Ingredients

• 4 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup chopped carrots
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup butter
• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 12 cups water
• 9 cubes chicken bouillon
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Directions

1. In a large stock pot, saute celery and onion in butter or margarine.
2. Add chicken, carrots, water, bouillon cubes, marjoram, black pepper, bay leaf, and parsley. Simmer for 30 minutes.
3. Add noodles, and simmer for 10 more minutes.

So yesterday I was soldering some new earrings and pendants, and very soon after I began to feel very dizzy and light headed. I'm not sure what brought it on, I've been using the same ventilation system for a long time now and have never experienced that reaction before. SO for the next few days I am going to stick to cold connections... 

  This morning I decided to take a photo of the prettiest sweet potato I have growing in my kitchen. I didn't know that sweet potatoes grew purple stalks! So interesting.  And while I am on the subject of food, I wanted to share what I am cooking today!

 

After going to the farmers market in Towson, I am going to make leek, onion, and potato soup. We'll see how it turns out, but the picture sure looks delicious! And finally, for any of you who follow my Cake Box line of jewelry, I am working on a lolita collection of delicate cakes and confections to wear! 

Hopefully now that the whole house business is  filed away and settled I will finally get around to setting up the etsy shops I had wanted to start! A lot of good things are happening for Appus Design this season! 

So stay tuned and don't forget to come visit us at the Fall Home Show on Sunday November 9th  from 11am - 4pm!
