March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

1-28-14 Thick & Hearty Chicken Noodle Soup

If this recipe looks somewhat like Creamy Wild Rice Soup, it’s because I took my same ol’ plain ol’ Chicken Noodle Soup recipe and tweaked it a bit in the style of the rice soup, thickening the broth and being a bit more specific with instructions so my assistants could help or make it without me. 

So… for your winter soup fix, here is another of our favorite meals.

And it has kind of caused a problem, as some of the residents here still prefer the original Chicken Noodle Soup which is a thin broth as opposed to a thick broth. Oh well. Can’t please everyone, right?!

Thick & Hearty Chicken Noodle Soup

Sauté until tender in 12 quart kettle:

1½ sticks butter

9 chicken bouillon cubes

3 cups diced onion

3 cups diced celery

3 cups shredded carrots

Whisk into 1 quart water or broth:

1½ cups flour

3 teaspoons salt

1½ teaspoon pepper

Add to vegetables; whisk until smooth. Will be thick.

Add:

6 quarts chicken broth

6 cups diced cooked chicken

Bring to boil, then reduce heat to simmer.

Add:

1 envelope Lipton noodle soup

1# spaghetti noodles, broken into 1½ inch pieces

Simmer until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.

Enjoy!!
