I Made Chicken Noodle Soup! And Soup Muffins!!

I was feeling a bit under the weather last week.

So I did the natural thing – I made chicken noodle soup!  Well, actually, I made chicken stock.  I chopped and diced, and carefully followed the recipe. 

I’d never made chicken stock before, and made the mistake of starting when I was already hungry.  Little did I know that it takes hours of boiling to get the finished product, so I had to snack in the meantime.  But it boiled and simmered and then cooled… and then I used that chicken stock to make some delicious soup!

And as if that wasn’t enough, I froze the rest of the chicken stock so I could use it in recipes that called for chicken broth. 

I froze them in my mini-loaf tray.  Each little mini-loaf is half a cup – perfect for adding to a recipe.  It was a tray of soup muffins!

I felt so Martha Stewart.  I felt so Julia Child.  I felt so very, very housewifely!
