Kari's Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

This soup is so yummy, and just right for a chilly November day. It is definitely a favorite at our house when served with warm rolls. I'm sure you could use turkey in it as well to make good use of those leftovers! : )

3 c water
3 chicken
2 c chopped celery
2 c chopped carrots
1 small chopped onion

Boil above ingredients until tender and then add:

2 cans cream of chicken soup
1 c milk
2 c chopped, cooked chicken
1/2 package of cooked egg noodles ( I like to make this with the "homestyle" egg noodles you can find at sam's or costco. They taste and look like fresh noodles)

Warm through and that's it! It's my opinion it's even better the second day, so make enough for leftovers : )

oh, it sounds good! I've sooo been into soups lately--maybe because of the cooler weather. They are easy to make too... yum!

I did a version of this with leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I love soup too. You get everything you need in one bowl and only have a few dishes to wash. I appreciate that since my dishwasher died on me.

Your dishwasher died? Oh no! Mine was broken for a bit too and I didn't realize how much I've gotten used to having one!

Pasta Carbonara

"Hmmm, two pasta recipes in a row?" you say. You must say that because you haven't been following every post and don't already know from the previous post that I accidentally-on-purpose bought too much tortellini at the store. While Carbonara is most often made with long, slender pasta like spaghetti, linguine, fettucine, etc.....well, I had to do something with that tortellini! I therefore give you use #2 for cheese tortellini you need to use up--Carbonara. Now don't get too wigged out by the fact that the sauce in this recipe is made from eggs that will appear to not be cooked. We don't judge based on looks around here, so I'll thank you to conform to that while using this recipe. The eggs are tempered , which essentially means that they are not raw, but sorta look that way still. I promise it is delicious. But if you need the reassurance, mentally, that you aren't eating raw eggs, I give you my solemn assurance. Now you ma...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

You know that elusive, best-ever, chocolate chip cookie recipe? Yeah I don't know where that is because everyone has a different idea of what the best cookie is. And that's okay! Variety is the spice of life. If you don't love what I love, that's fine! I'll judge and think you're crazy, but we will both survive. You'll go on loving gross cookies, and I'll go on loving the good stuff. And we will both, somehow, be happy with that. If you ever want to try the good stuff, it'll be right here for you. And so will I. Maybe. I'm not as forgiving as these best-ever chocolate chip cookies....
