Welcome to a week filled with hearty meals, warmth, and the beauty of slow living. In this cozy fall vlog, we dive into the delicious world of comfort food, embrace seasonal favorites, and celebrate the little moments that make this time of year truly special.
Chicken Noodle Soup: A Cozy Classic 🍲
Nothing says comfort like a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup. It’s the perfect remedy for cool autumn days, bursting with tender chunks of chicken, fresh vegetables, and perfectly cooked noodles. This dish will wrap you in warmth and nostalgia—every slurp is a reminder of home.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken or chicken pieces (about 3-4 lbs)
- 8 cups of chicken broth

- 3 cups of egg noodles
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- Fresh herbs (thyme and parsley)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Lemon juice, for a bright finish
Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: In a large pot, add your chicken and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: In a separate pan, sauté the onion, carrots, and celery with some olive oil until lightly softened. Add minced garlic for the last minute of cooking.

Combine and Simmer: Remove the chicken from the pot, shred it, and return the meat to the broth. Add the sautéed vegetables and let everything simmer together.
-
Cook the Noodles: Stir in the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
-
Finish with Fresh Herbs: Stir in freshly chopped thyme, parsley, and a squeeze of lemon juice (if desired). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve Warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy on a chilly day with good company.
