Rave Reviews ~ Chicken Noodle Soup

I made it this weekend at the Peaslee's. We decided to pretend we were at Olive Garden having soup, salad and breadsticks. Well, we didn't have their dressing and we didn't have their Zuppa Tuscana, BUT, it still was yummy.

The kids ate the soup right up, I made a big pot, so we actually did have some leftover which we had the next day in addition to our tomato soup and grilled cheese. I also made a big salad with leafy greens, roma tomatoes and cucumbers. And to complete the trio, Pillsbury garlic breadsticks fresh from the oven. Laurie like the soup alot, the broth was different from how Fred makes his, but that is to be expected as Fred doesn't use any seasoning. He also makes homemade from scratch noodles, which, while delicious, is alot of time and effort. Joey even commented on how much he liked it, although I figured it out on my own after the third bowl was dished up! Kid is growing like a weed and being in football makes him hungry all the time. And then I got a phone call the other night from Fred. He had the last of my chicken noodle soup and called to tell me he loved it. Coming from Fred, this is a compliment because he doesn't use any seasoning and I use all kinds! He was impressed. I smiled.

I love the fall, it is a great time to make soups and stews to warm you up after coming in from outdoors. The temperatures continue to drop around here, in fact, we have had frost on the cars a few times already, so I expect I'll be making soup alot more often.
