SouthWestern Chicken Noodle Soup
Posted by admin in Comfort Food
Now if that doesn’t scream fall, I just don’t know what does!! I look forward to the colder climates of the year, not to mention the comfort foods that go with them. My idea of heaven, is snow on the ground, sweater and slippers, and of coarse a hot bowl of soup with fresh home made breads.
SouthWestern Chicken Noodle Soup (printable version)
- 4-5 Bone in Chicken thighs (skinless cuts down on the fat content)
- 3 Large carrots, chopped
- 4 Celery stalks, chopped
- 1 Large onion, chopped
- ½ Cup frozen corn
- ½ Cup frozen peas
- ½ Cup frozen green beans
- 2 TBSP minced garlic (I think that’s around 3-4 cloves)
- 1 Can diced tomatoes in juice
- 2 Qt water
- 1 TBSP salt
- 2 TBSP Mrs. Dash “Original” seasoning
- 1 Tsp black pepper
- 1 TBSP Mrs. Dash “SouthWestern” seasoning
- ½ LB. Fettuccine, broken into thirds
I just threw all of this into my crock pot on high for 6 hours this morning (with the exception of the pasta, I boiled that before serving, drained and added it to the soup). And I wanted to add that I used fettuccine pasta because it doesn’t bloat like other types of noodles. Its holds its shape and texture and really bulks up the soup making it more hearty.
Now my families’ favorite bread recipe is Anitra’s Bread Recipe. I make it into a multigrain recipe. My changes are Red Palm oil rather than vegetable, 6 grain rolled cereal rather than rolled oats and I also add 2 TBSP Flax Seeds (the dark brown ones) and 2 TBSP Sesame Seeds. But other than that I follow her recipe exactly. I have a printable version of the recipe that will only take one page to print here. And by clicking on “Anitra’s Bread Recipe” above you will be taken to her website, where you can watch her video “Bread start to finish” and if you so chose print a transcript of the video.
