Soup season is here! Hello cozy sweaters, boots, and big pots of bubbly goodness. Wether you are feeling under the weather or simply need a hug in the form of food- chicken soup is for you. Today we are making it even more hearty with the addition of egg noodles! I like to make my own chicken stock to use as the base- throughout the week I save any carrot peels, random onion halves, and too-dried-to-use herbs in a ziplock back and pop it in the freezer. I also add in roast chicken carvases- tons of flavour, and the bones from meat if my husband has recently smoked any! Come soup making time I throw it all in a pot, add water to cover, and let it simmer for as many hours as I have to give it. If you want to use store bought broth, go for it! The flavor from leeks cooked with lots of olive oil, carrots and celery are the perfect combination.
