Time For Soup

We finally got some snow. It’s about time! We did not have a white Christmas, but we did get a good snow a couple of days after. For a little while, everything was blanketed in fresh snow. But per our wacky weather, it melted as soon as the sun started shining. At least we had some for a little while though. We need it, and we need the moisture. I still have some snow in my backyard too. My backyard is north facing, which means the snow lasts longer than in the south facing areas.

The cold weather means it is also time for some hot soup to warm us up from the inside out. I made a big pot of chicken soup. Chicken Soup Weather I told Larry to pick whatever pasta he wanted and he chose penne. Penne pasta would not have been my first choice, but it worked out fine. The soup just hit the spot too.

Chicken Soup

This soup was just a basic chicken soup. Nothing fancy, just pure, simple goodness.

I cooked my carrots, celery and onions for about 5 minutes in hot oil and butter.

Then I added my cubed chicken, peas, seasonings, and chicken stock.

Once the soup was boiling, I added the pasta, and let it cook until the pasta was cooked, about 8 minutes.

When everything was done, it was time to serve it up and enjoy. Eat it while the soup is still hot. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. Happy New Year. May 2026 be filled with health, happiness and prosperity for all.
