Welcome to Sugar, Sunshine and Flowers!
My sister, Laurie, and I have talked about putting a blog together for several years, then Kari, my sister-in-law, added her encouragement and here we are! We hope to share our love for family, food, DIY projects and being outdoors!
The past few years all three of us have become empty nesters.Transitions are never easy – but we learning to adjust to this new stage. It is such a joy to see our children finding their niche in the adult world – and it makes us smile when they text us for a recipe, directions on how to do a home project – and even to babysit their dog!
So for our first blog, I am going to share our recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup – what is more like coming home than chicken noodle soup? Especially on these cold Missouri winter days.
Buying rotisserie chicken saves time and adds a delicious favor to the soup. If you are like me, the other ingredients are basic staple pantry items. Start by dicing up one onion and about 5 stalks of celery. Peel and slice one pound of carrots. Saute these vegetables in butter in Dutch oven or large pot until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add one can Cream of Chicken soup, 1 teaspoon of the original Mrs. Dash Seasoning, stir. Add 64 oz. of Chicken Broth, stir, cover and bring to a boil. Add frozen (I prefer Reames frozen egg noodles) or dried noodles, cook length of time recommended on package, usually about 20 minutes. When noodles are tender, add cut up rotisserie chicken. May want to add a bit more salt, pepper, or top with parsley. So good on a cold winter night.
