Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

-
Finally, a successful chicken noodle soup recipe! I've made chicken noodle soup a few times before and wasn't impressed with the recipes I chose. I also made a few mistakes that I've since learned from! For example, do not add your egg noodles until the last 5-10 minutes of cooking or they will overcook and end up as little shredded pieces of noodles. Another good one; do not add salt to the pot, only to your individual bowl if you prefer it because it could end up too salty. Very sad. 

This recipe stuck out to me because it has a little bit of cream and parmesan cheese in it = so good and unique! Blake raved over it which always makes me feel good and I've already made it twice this season! Of course, a large portion of it is now in the freezer because I'm preparing for hibernation/baby time! So far I have banana muffins, potato soup (click for recipe on previous blog), chicken soup, spinach casserole, and poppyseed casserole in the freezer! Yay! 

Before you get to looking at the recipe, I have to endorse Sister Schubert rolls because they are the perfect mate for this soup! I still know people who have never had them!!! PLEASE go buy some in the frozen bread section. If your grocery doesn't have them, you need to change groceries! Here's what they look like; 
regular
they also come in a large size!
another secret, they make my favorite cinnamon rolls!

Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup

1 rotisserie chicken, (cut up with Pampered Chef salad chopper seen below)

8 cups water with 8 chicken stock cubes or 8 cups chicken broth

  • 2 tsp onion flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp bay leaves
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 1/3 cup white wine
  • 1/2- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2/3 cup cream
  • 1/2 tsp seasoning salt

Directions

Bring all ingredients to a boil EXCEPT EGG NOODLES. Add noodles last and cook according according to directions on package, usually 5-7 minutes. Adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding seasoning salt and pepper. 

One more endorsement! You may remember me talking about this friend on my blog before but I have to mention it again. This little guy will save you so much time when shredding up the rotisserie chicken! This beautifully awkward looking "salad chopper" needs to be on your Christmas list! It's name isn't very accurate... and of course, it doesn't just chop salad! You can chop meat, veggies, fruits, nuts, you name it! The next time you make a chicken casserole, you won't have to shred the chicken by hand!! Or, the next time your husband makes you a pizza with bacon on it (in case you missed it, click HERE) he won't have to tear the bacon bits up by hand. I made Blake come into the kitchen so he could see how this thing works. He came, saw, and stated, "I love you" and giggled. Click HERE to purchase online. Yay!

Jude's Little Blue Truck Party

Little Blue Truck Almost every day, Jude enjoys the rhythm and rhymes of a particular book about a little blue truck. This truck and a few adorably illustrated farm animals help a mean old dump truck ( HOOOONK ) learn a valuable lesson about making friends. We all need friends and the right kind; that is for certain. He can finish almost any phrase, make all the animal sounds, and turn each page as we snuggle together. We treasure those moments and hearing his animated "beep, beep, beep!" Since this little dude has such an attachment to the "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Shertle, we decided that it would be the perfect theme for his second birthday party. I tried not to go over-the-top since Jude could care less about all the matchy decorations. I get it. However, just as I thought, he LOVED the blue truck on his cake! I'm so glad his gaze stopped on the cake for two seconds to notice it... he wouldn't quite settle down until that truck was on th...

Grief, Glory, and Guacamole

Florida Herrons May, 2018 To my friends who have shared this little blog with me over the past ten years, thank you!   There's a part of me that has been avoiding writing lately because I didn't know where to start. My heart has been heavy this year. Moments where you stop and pray ;  But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. (ESV Psalm 3:3) So, as I begin to blog again I feel the need to clarify something; transparency is not my goal here. I hesitate to focus on simply being transparent because it's important for me not to shortchange the TRUTH of God's word and lordship over my life. Another head-nodding in affirmation is nice but I need Jesus. I need the power of His word.  My aim is to glorify the Lord and tell of His faithfulness. After all, " For  we are his workmanship,  created in Christ Jesus  for good works,  which God prepared beforehand,  that we should walk in them . (ESV Ephes...

Let the nesting begin! We have been so thrilled to be able to start putting the baby room together! Thanks to Blake's workmanship and our wonderful Leigh Ann and Lonas, we now have an assembled crib and changing table for little baby boy!  little kitty is not allowed in baby's room i was a super tool holder! the changing table was a lot harder to assemble than the crib! Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest I have been able to successfully organize many creative ideas for our little baby boy nursery!! I definitely do not want to get carried away but I LOVE making little creative projects.   Our crib!! Room idea #1 our crib :) also, we are probably going to paint the nursery this color! I'll be hanging some lanterns too! We are SO thankful that Blake's amazing momma,"Granna," will be making the baby bedding for us! It makes me kind of sad that sewing is a dying art but it's so cool that we'll have a li...
