Yesterday we made the most delicious homemade chicken noodle soup (without the noodles).  Instead we used potatoes because we have potatoes coming out our ears!  It turned out so yummy!  We both agreed that it was the best chicken noodle soup we'd ever had!  Yup!!  That sad part is that it's already gone. We just couldn't resist it.  And soup is just so yummy when your sick you know?!!  Mmmmmmm.....

Anyway I wish I could have taken a picture of it but it was gone before you could say Noooodle.  So you'll just have to enjoy someone else's picture. 

We kind of followed a recipe but kind of didn't.  That's how we do it around here. :)  Anyway it started out with a chicken fryer chilling (quite the opposite actually) in the crock pot all day with onions, celery and garlic.  When the chicken was done we took it out and retrieved all the meat and put it back in the broth.  From there we cut up a bunch of carrots and threw those in there and on the side we boiled the potatoes.  By the time those were done so were the carrots in the crock pot so we added the potatoes.  Then it was time for making the broth delish!  We added salt and pepper of course but also some of our fresh thyme, savory and sage herbs.  Oh boy I am getting hungry again just thinking about it!  I think there was about a gallon and a half of soup there for us to enjoy!  We are going to make some more soup tomorrow because those chicken fryers we got came in two!  Yahoo!!
