Day 276: Comfort Food
Today was rather cold and windy, and as I walked home from a yoga class tonight, I was thinking of heating up a can of soup and adding some extra chicken and veggies to enhance it when I realized I could just make my own chicken noodle soup from scratch. Perfect comfort food for a chilly winter evening!
I kept everything simple -- organic chicken stock, Barilla tri-color rotini (the only brand Mr. E will buy), carrots, fingerling potatoes, celery stalks and greens, broccoli stems and leaves, a can of diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, 3 bay leaves, and a chopped-up chicken breast. All of the veggies were organic and/or from the Farmer's Market, of course. I think the only thing I really wanted to round out the dish was some grated parmesan cheese on the top for a bit of extra flavor.
After I finished my portion, I had enough for 3 smaller and 1 larger containers to save. Mr. E enjoyed the larger container when he got home from playing volleyball, so the 3 smaller containers remain in the freezer for future lunch or dinner options. Yum!
