-- Chicken Noodle Soup --

Sunday Soup Night this week was totally comfort food.  We spent most of the weekend working on Christmas projects for friends and family and getting some decorating done... Lucas is now affectionately calling himself Santa every time he heads into his workshop and me - Mrs. Claus :)  Here's a sneak peek at what Mrs. Claus was up to this weekend...

Knowing that we would be ready to kick back on Sunday evening to recover we put a chicken on the BBQ rotisserie with the plan for chicken noodle soup.  Here's what we ended up with after mixing the chicken, carrot, onion, celery, garlic, chicken stock and spices.  I particularly enjoyed the addition of some chilli powder.

Oh, we did add noodles as well, some miniature bows, actually.  They aren't pictured because we decided to cook them separately and just add them to our actual bowl.  This went a long way in ensuring that the pasta didn't swell too much... in fact it was *perfect*

Lucas might convert me into a soup lover after all ;-)
