Welcome to Tasty Tuesday!
What’s with the tissues? Well…
We have been seeing our share of tissue over the last couple of weeks! With everyone but Tim getting sick, I should just buy them in bulk.
What’s the best food in the world for sore throats and stuffy noses?
Chicken Noodle Soup!!!
Everyone knows there’s something special about it when you’re feeling a little under the weather. Some medical experts say there’s a real benefit to eating chicken noodle soup. Whether it’s because of the steam, spices, or the warm, happy, goodness of it, I don’t know!
I’m not going to be exact with this recipe because I never measure anything while I cook it.
I take about 1 pound of chicken ( whatever kind you like) and add it to a pot on the stove with a little olive oil, 1 small chopped onion, celery (about 1/2 cup, chopped) , garlic (about 2 tablespoons), and cook until the chicken is done and the onions are clear.
Then I add about 32 ounces of chicken broth and 32 ounces of water. Bring to a boil. Add 2 cups of baby carrots (really you can add them anytime). I usually buy baby carrots so I don’t have to chop them up. I add salt and pepper and maybe even a seasoning or two that I find in the cabinet. This is something you’ll have to taste test and then decide what you want to add. Cook for 60 minutes. Add 1/2 bag of egg noodles. Cook for 10 minutes and serve.
Here’s a really easy recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup with measurements!
We have Chicken Noodle Soup and hot tea on our menu this week! What’s cooking in your kitchen? Do you make certain food when someone in your family has a cold?

the chicken soup looks so very good. I love to make soup and keep it on the counter in the crock pot to eat all day long…..
Recipes that aren’t exact are always the best. It’s the way our grandmothers used to cook. It’s the way I wish I could always cook. This soup looks fantastic.
We’ve been battling sniffles, too. I have a chicken frame left from lunch today. I’ll have to make up a batch of soup tomorrow. I’m with you on measuring, especially with soup. I just keep dumping stuff in till it looks, smells, and tastes good.
Excited to find your blog. I loved the flowery motivation!

We just finished a batch of chicken noodle soup for lunch yesterday. It was delicious! Perfect if you are sick, or just sick of winter!

Mmmm, I can smell it from here.
There is nothing better than homemade chicken noodle soup when you’re not feeling well. And yours looks SO delicious!
I’m finding so many recipes I want to make and it’s not even Tuesday. I’m going to run out of ink in the printer.
You are all such great cooks!

LOL — I did homemade chicken noodle soup too! Isn’t that just the beauty of recipes — two people can make the same things so differently from each other!
Yours looks great, by the way!
The soup looks great! Wish I had some right now!
Ah, that looks perfect for this winter weather! Thank you!
Your soup looks delicious!
My crew loves to have homemade chicken noodle soup even when we are not battling the sniffles.
Thanks for sharing and hosting.
Your chicken noodle soup looks delish! My nine year old son and I made that last week. This week we I’m making chicken and rice soup.
The soup sounds fabulous and am so glad it comes with measurements. Most are a bit of this or a handful of that! Blessings and thanks for hosting this fun event.
I have been wanting soup, with all the snow we had. That looks so good!
Hi Kim!
That sure looks delicious! I hope the cold bug has left your family!!! It sure has been a cold-filled winter at our house, too, blah!
Love your Tasty Tuesdays!!!
I love soup, and yours looks delicious! I’ve got to go get some egg noodles …

I love Chicken Noodle Soup. When I had my first daughter a friend made us a huge pot when we came home from the hospital. It was so to have a great comfort food. One of my favorite soups is Tomato. I need to check the links to see if anyone posted a great recipe.
Here I am coming in last but not least. I’m just getting home. Soup is a good thing.

My mom makes the best chicken soup! Try as I might, I cannot duplicate her recipe which is not written down. Even when she tells me what to do, it never tastes the same!!! I just have to go to her house when I need chicken soup.
I have an immune booster spice mix that I make, we then add it to almost everything…
