We've finally hit some Fall like weather up here in the Rockies. It has been so unseasonably warm here it really was Summer until a few days ago. I was beginning to worry that we'd go straight from Summer to Winter, & skip my favorite time of the year- Fall. But with cool weather & rainy days I'm beginning to believe that we will be able to enjoy our beautiful Fall weather.
Part of what makes this season so wonderful for me is the smells & the food. Of course I love the colors & the crisp air (I believe 60's & 70's are the perfect temperatures). But the wonderful smells that are associated with Fall like apples & pumpkin spice are by far my favorite scents. & the food of Fall..oh, the food of Fall. Soups & warm bread, turkey & potatoes, apple & pear desserts... they can't be beat! They are comfort food at its best. I've shared my most favorite soup ever, Turkey, Mushroom, & Sage soup. If you've never tried it, whip up a batch. Use fresh sage & I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
But today I want to share with you the king of all comfort foods, the captain of all soups, the agent of warming the soul- homemade chicken noodle. So easy & flavorful, you can't go wrong with this soup. It's the perfect accompaniment to a crisp Autumn day. Here's the skinny...
Ingredients
10 Cups chicken stock

Ingredients
10 Cups chicken stock
2 cups cut up cooked chicken
1 1/4 cups sliced carrots
1 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
Salt to taste
Directions
Bring chicken stock to a boil & add chicken, carrots, celery, parsley. Let boil until carrots are almost tender. Add egg noodles & continue to boil until noodles are cooked. Turn heat down & add salt to your liking (this varies widely depending on your taste & what kind of chicken stock you use. If you make your owns stock it will need more than if you use store bought stock. Just add a little at a time & taste in between). Serve warm with a good bread. Enjoy!
