So I decided that I wanted to make chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight for myself and my studying boyfriend... what could be better to eat on a COLD night??? So I set about at the grocery store getting the supplies, braved the 15 degree temps outside and the slightly icy conditions on the road to Ethan's house from my parents. I get to Ethan's house and start making chicken noodle soup, all while remembering the time when I made chicken noodle soup in Texas...
Let me digress briefly on the Texas disaster... I thought I was being such an adult and making homemade chicken noodle soup the way my grandma and mom did... all was going well on my FIRST EVER batch of soup, until... Jonathan and Amanda come over to eat with us... and Amanda was the lucky person who found the popper in her soup!!! Who knew that some chickens have the red popper things that turkeys have!!!! Obviously, I didn't!!!
Ok back to tonight. I put the chicken in the hige stock pot, add the broth, seasonings and some more water, cover the soup and go lie down for half an hour with Ethan... suddenly I hear Nate scraping something metal and hearing water running... yea, silly me, I forgot to lift the chicken up after adding the broth and the bottom of the chicken was starting to get nice and on the road to burnt... so after Nate rescued the chicken all went well... we got the chicken out of the pot, tore it up, added the noodles... let that all simmer... ate a bowl of it, decided it was great... then started to smell something burning, kinda like burnt popcorn... Ethan and I both jumped up from our spots on the couches with our computers and dashed into the kitchen to find smoke starting to roll out from under the lid of the stock pot. Yea, I managed to successfully have a SMOKED flavor to my soup!!!!
