Soooo, here is my long awaited recipe, btw, if my friends like it, I'll gladly share more of my own recipes on here, drop me a comment, okay?  I started cooking as a teenager, wasn't very good at that time, but now that I've been married for more than 2 decades, I've honed my culinary skills considerably!

Annie's Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients:
leftover bones from whole chicken
3 or 4 whole celery stalks
1 medium onion
chicken bouillion
pepper
parsley
3 or 4 peeled carrots
onion powder
garlic powder
4 medium potatoes, cubed
16 oz. fine noodles

Trim remaining meat from bones and save for later.  Place bones into large stock pot, fill with water to about the 3/4 mark.  Add chicken bouillion accordingly (1 tsp. per cup of water).    Cut the onion into quarters and add.  Add carrots and celery.  Add 1/8 tsp. pepper, 1 tsp. parsley, 1 tsp. onion powder, and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder.

Bring to boil, then simmer covered for 4 hours.  (Can be cooked in less time, but the longer simmers, the more flavorful it will be.)

Strain the liquid into another pot.  (Add water if a large amount has boiled away.) Discard bones and onions. When carrots and celery cool, chop finely and add to broth.  Add the reserved chicken (cut into bite sized pieces) and add potatoes and noodles. Simmer for 20 minutes.

The best part: BURNING YOUR TONGUE!!!!!

Hahahahahah!!!  Sometimes I make dumplings.  I don't make them from scratch because Bisquick dumplings are so light and tasty and easy that I can save time!  Just follow the simple recipe on the box!

Hope you like it, try this out and write back.  I'd like to know how many of you enjoyed it.

  1. Hey, a note on the Bisquick--there's a 'light' version that I use and it saves on calories and fat. I use skim milk in it, too. The dumplings taste as rich and delicious as if they were made with the fatter ingredients. ;)
