Supper in a Country pub!
After scoffing two bowl fulls of the soup earlier, I have been getting ready to go out later. Our friends phoned us yesterday and asked us out for supper!! ohhh, what a treat! :)
We are going to a local country pub, which is about 3 miles away. The pub is one of our favourites, it’s a really old fashioned one, with long oak tables, big open real log fires and candles! It has a lovely atmosphere and the wine is good!
The kids always enjoy meeting up, they normally bring their own ds’s to play on. It gives the grown ups a chance to have a good catch up and normally the night is enjoyed by all!!
Chicken noodle soup!!!
Hola and Happy Bank Holiday to every one! (well, those of us who live in the uk)
I have been a busy bee this morning, first I made Nigella’s blueberries Pancakes and now as you can see I have made a huge pan of chicken noodle soup! I have baked some chabatti breads for the first time and they are presently baking in the oven! They did not seem to rise much, so I am not sure how they will turn out,hmmm.
Don’t know what they are going to taste like!!
This is the finished product, served in my much loved retro Denby lidded soup bowls! Bon Appetite!!
Edited: Recipe added for Jane
In a large pan, boil and the simmer, a chicken carcas with 2 chicken stock cubes for about an hour, I also add pre soaked broth mix from Tesco, about two/three handfulls.
Strip the remaining chicken off the bone and put back into soup with noodles. I normally use wholewheat spaggetti, as it has low gi, as does the lentils and barley! Simmer for about 10 mins and serve!
