The world needs more laughter, I truly believe that this is the answer to everything.

As someone who LOVES a good stock and has been known to consume a good chicken soup for a week straight, (it was that good) I can empathize!

I think Ursy and I would be so busy cracking each other up that we'd never get anything done. Although if she wants to try, I'm game!

So, yanno... I have that same hunger pang problem with the stock cooking in the crockpot again. *eyeroll* The sacrifices a person must make for good soup!

And yes, I did have chicken soup for supper and it was soooo goood. Last night I remembered to melt some sharp cheddar into it and holy cats that was good! But tonight I was so hungry that I just ate it as it came from the micro, no cheese, and it was pretty doggoned good just like that.

No telling what Gryph is gonna want for supper. I think he is maybe not quite so enamored of the stock as I am... but he is coming in on a doggoned cold night, and I bet he'd appreciate a hot bowl of soup.

What about with your home made noodles? Bek loves chicken noodle soup with the noodle recipe you gave me, all those years ago <3

Haven't done any noodling around lately, Urs, but I've thought about it. So glad Bek loves the noodles! Which recipe did I give you, the one with half an eggshell of milk? I've always felt kinda guilty that I found a better recipe than my Gram had, since the whole idea was to make noodles like my Gram, lol.... but heck, they're so much better with milk!

Yes, the one with the milk

I'm sure your Gram wouldn't mind <3

Bek saw chicken noodle soup on a menu at a cafe once when she was out with her Gran and was excited to order it. She was rather disappointed when she got some kind of mass produced thing that was nothing like "the one Mum makes".

Awww I'm sorry for her disappointment, but doesn't it just warm your heart all through, "the one Mum makes"?? It even warms mine a little, vicariously!

thought I'd share this recipe here. .

Ultimate Unfried Chicken

Ingredients:
•6 chicken breasts, trimmed to 4 ounces each
•1 cup buttermilk
•1 tbsp. Tabasco
•1 ½ cups whole-wheat breadcrumbs
•2 tbsp. parmesan cheese, grated
•1 ½ tsp. onion powder
•1 ½ tsp. garlic powder
•2 tsp. black pepper
•2 tsp crushed chili flakes
•2 tsp. smoked paprika
•½ teaspoon salt pan spray oil
•3 lb. butternut squash, peeled, cut, 1” cubes
•1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
•¼ teaspoon sea salt
•3 lb. brussel sprouts, stem ends removed, halved
•1 ½ tbsp. olive oil
•¼ tsp. sea salt
•1 tbsp. chives or parsley, chopped (or parsley)
•¼ cup dried cranberries
•¼ cup Dijon vinaigrette

Instructions:
1.Mix together buttermilk, Tabasco, and chicken breasts. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2.In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, crushed chili flakes, smoked paprika, and salt; whisk to blend well.
3.One at a time, remove chicken breasts from marinade and lay flat in spiced breadcrumb mix. Scoop spices over chicken to completely submerge it in breadcrumb mix. Press down on chicken breast firmly with palm of hand, to ensure optimal adhesion. Lift chicken out of spices and gently shake off excess breading. Lay flat on baking sheet.
4.Coat each side of breaded chicken with even layer of pan spray oil. Set aside in refrigerator.
5.Place pan of chicken breasts in oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through.

Fit Factor: This recipe was designed with the fit person in mind, all the way down to the whole-wheat bread crumbs, and the spice adds flavor without fat. And that's not all: baked chicken breast obviously serves up a solid dose of lean protein, while nutrient-packed sides—

like Vitamin A-rich butternut squash—round out your ultimate healthy meal

6.Toss diced squash with oil and salt. Spread onto baking sheet in single layer.
7.Toss Brussels sprouts in oil and salt. Spread onto baking sheet in single layer.
8.Place the pan of Brussels sprouts and pan of squash in pre-heated oven at 400˚ for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly brown at edges and cooked through. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm; set aside.
9.Uncover roasted Brussels sprouts and squash and toss together in a large mixing bowl with the fresh chopped herbs, dried cranberries and Dijon vinaigrette. Serve immediately with baked unfried chicken.

Serves: 6

Wow that must be some good stock. I sure would love to come home to a hot bowl of soup, cold or no cold weather! Kinda strange how soup has become my favorite thing to have for a meal. Must be a comfort thing, reminds me of home.

Usually, if I was feeling under the weather while living in South Korea, I would have mandu guk (mandu soup). Here's a link for the recipe, although I'm sure there are variations ...

By the way, mandu can be vegetarian, kimchi or pork.

How very interesting. The soup looks really good. Did you have anchovy broth?

Quite possibly, but to tell you the truth, I'm not sure.

I love mandu. I always had a bag in my freezer in Korea. Sometimes that's all I had for dinner. You just throw them into boiling water, wait for them to bob to the top, drain and enjoy with some soya sauce.

Excellent Kat. So glad that it worked out for you. I may have to make this sometime for my teenager mini diva who suddenly is eating more than two vegetables. No idea what has happened to her. She is a vegetarian but only enjoys broccoli and eggplant. That is it. I do not count potato's because they do not translate into nutrition for her. The child needs to pack some weight on and is a sugar freak so this is a big challenge at this point. But yesterday she apparently consumed 2 new green vegetables in the same day. Her Mom must be working some magic.
