Buttery Goodness

I woke up this morning, feeling kind of punky, with a head cold. Thankfully, I had some already prepared chicken noodle soup, from one of my freezer cooking days, already in the freezer!! Click here for the recipe. I cook everything except the noodles, and then cool and freeze. When I take it out to cook it, is when I add the egg noodles. That way, they don't get mushy. One other thing, I do, is prepare the chicken in advance, so that it is already diced or shredded for the soup. You can find how I do this, here I also like to double the carrots, onions and celery, and use L.B. Jamison's chicken base instead of broth. It gives a lot more flavor.

What goes even better with a bowl of hot chicken and noodle soup? A hot, yummy, buttery roll!! It took no time at all in my bread machine, and very easy to shape and throw into a buttered pan to rise.
