Homemade soup, The best way to start the week
We are going to start the week with Homemade Chicken Noodle soup. I am boiling eight chicken thighs in seasoned water. 3 qts cold water, 2 Tbsp. Oregano, Tbsp of Sage, Tbsp of meat first Chicken base, and 2 tsp. of Black pepper.
I have also added one diced White onion, one chopped carrot, and two diced Market fresh Tomatoes. After this boils for three hours I place 1 quart of stock in a 2 qt. pan and add one diced potato and 1 cup sliced carrot. In a second pan boil large Egg noodles. Add one cup to the bottom of a bowl, add one boiled Chicken thigh and cover with the Chicken soup.
The wife likes to have crackers with her soup. I prefer adding SamM salsa and cooked rice to my soup. Once you have the stock and Chicken thighs cooked there are a multitude of creative ways that you can create a satisfying meal.
