Catherine's Chicken Noodle Soup


Note: I made this up last night when I couldn't find a recipe that I really liked. I drew my inspiration from the internet. I drew my ingredients from my refrigerator. I used the extra wide kind of noodles (because that is what I had open), but it probably would have been better to use the medium kind so that they would stay on your spoon when you try to eat it. This is a very hardy soup that is easy to put together. Total prep time is about 45 minutes. Makes about 8 servings.

Ingredients
2 quarts of chicken broth/stock OR 2 quarts of water + Better Than Bouillon
2-3 cups of cooked chicken, in small bite-sized pieces
1-2 cups of egg noodles, uncooked
1 1/2 cups of diced carrots
1 1/2 cups of diced celery
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp Rosemary
1 Tbsp Thyme
1 tsp Basil


Directions
Bring broth to a boil. Add in carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Return to a boil and then decrease heat to an active simmer. Add in rosemary, thyme, and basil. Simmer for ~ 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a seperate pot, prepare egg noodles according to the package, drain, and rinse.

Add the chicken to the soup, return to a simmer for 5 minutes.

Add the noodles to the soup and reduce heat to low until it is time to serve.

Chicken Pot Pie

Image
Note: This was so super easy, and we loved it! Next time I make it, I will adjust the ratio of veggies/potatoes/meat and follow this new recipe. Ingredients 2 unbaked pie crusts 2 cans of condensed cream-of-whatever soup 1 cup of cubed potatoes 1 1/2 cups frozen veggies 1/2 cup chopped onions 2 cups of cooked chicken cut into small cubes Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees and bring a medium pot of water to boil. Roll out 1 pie crust and place into pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes in the pre-heating oven. Set aside. Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes (1/2 inch size) and boil until soft. In a bowl, combine chicken, frozen vegetables, onions, potatoes and soup. Mix well. Pour mixture into pie plate, top with remaining pie crust, making several small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before serving. source: http://www.5dollardinners.com/2009/12/chicken-pot-pie.html

Pumpkin Muffins

Note: I used walnuts, but I didn't have a full 3/4 cup, probably only about 1/2 a cup. This would be awesome with chocolate chips, too. Of course, what isn't better with chocolate chips?? These are amazingly light and fluffy. Ingredients 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup canned or cooked pumpkin 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup water 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup chopped cashews or walnuts (optional? I think not) Directions Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients - eggs, oil, water, pumpkin In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients - flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and incorporate. Add nuts (and chocolate chips?), stir. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Do not overbake. Cool on wire rack. source: http://allrec
