Chicken Soup For The Soul Song Ngữ

[Kristeen Cheek]

Ifyour questioning whether you should use homemade chicken stock, or store-bought for this recipe, homemade is definitely the way to go! The secret is to use a rotisserie chicken so that you can use the meat in the soup and make chicken broth with the leftover carcass and bones. You wont believe how easy it is and it really takes the soup over top in terms of depth of flavor.

Add noodles and boil. Once boiling, add noodles (either the uncooked homemade egg noodles, or dry store-bought pasta) and cook just until noodles are al dente. If using store-bought noodles, be cautious not to overcook them! Remove the soup pot from heat as soon as the noodles are just barely tender, as they will continue to cook off of the heat.

To freeze: Allow the soup to cool completely and store it in a freezer safe container for 2-3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or over medium heat on the stove. If using store bought noodles I would suggest undercooking the noodles before freezing the soup, to avoid them getting soggy upon reheating.

I have made this soup and homemade broth over and over, with homemade egg noodles. My husband loves it and so do I. I also make the broth with/for other soups! Love you blog, or recipe site or whatever you call it. ? 5 star blog, 5 star recipes!

Thankd for your intelligent recipe.

My Ch.Ndl.Soup same but I also use skin from rotisserie chkn in stock. Also oven roast poblano, garlic and red bell pepper, onion and carrot, then chop and add all to strained stock, before chkn and noodles. Occasionally add small broccoli pieces if on hand.

I used oven roasted chicken breast seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning and smoked paprika. I added in some baby portobello mushroom slices that I sauteed in the side in butter. I also omitted the bouillon and crushed red pepper. This was so good, possibly the best soup I have ever had. I will make this many more times!

The key to a great homemade soup is to slow down. Making soup is zen cooking, a quiet meditation on bringing simple flavors together into comforting warmth. I usually devote an entire Sunday to making a soup or two. I especially love soup making on grey rainy or snowy days. The house fills with the smell of stock then soup simmering making the day feel extra cozy. Everyone should take the time to disconnect from the world and find joy in the slow quiet simplicity of soup making. It may be cliche but honestly, soup is good food and good for the soul.

Make the Chicken Stock:

Place stock vegetables in the bottom of a pot. Lay chicken pieces on top of vegetables. Add cold water covering chicken by 1 inch. Add peppercorn, rosemary, and marjoram.

When chicken is cool enough to handle, pull the meat off the bones and add the bones back into simmering stock. Put the chicken in the fridge and simmer the stock for another 15 minutes. Strain stock through a mesh strainer into a large bowl. Wash out the stockpot to use for the soup.

As always, I try and write music that meets the listener wherever they are in life regardless of the circumstances. Each song stands alone and speaks to people dealing with the issues of the song. Skill is the ability to execute on a high level but does not necessarily have anything to do with soul or emotion. For example, there are musicians that I love for their superior ability on their instruments, but it only entertains the eye and ears, but not necessarily the heart and soul. On the other hand, there are musicians that are not very skilled musical technicians but their music speaks directly to the heart and soul. For example, John Lee Hooker.

The Drive is my current band. I met these guys while visiting a club in Dallas Texas. They are young, talented musicians that help push me musically. They now have become my touring band. I met the Texas Horns while touring in Scandinavia. We had a chance to play together, and it was magic. So, when I was recording my new cd, I called up Kaz and asked if they would play on my record and he agreed. The result speaks for itself.

As long as the blues is real and not contrived, there is an audience. Also, things go in cycles. The young folks will be back to the blues bigger than ever in the coming years because of a thirst for something real.

So we tripped on to something that became the lifeblood and the success of the series; we asked about 15 people to read all 140 stories and grade them on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being goosebumps, made me cry, beautiful story and 5 being are you kidding me. So we took in all those stories and their feedback and I wrote down the names of the stories along with the average of their scores. Only the top scoring stories went in the book. And then, we took the book to New York.

This was 1993 during the first Gulf war. We had the recession, not unlike the one we just came out of, and there was a lot of resignation, heartlessness, and fear in the culture. So I thought, chicken soup for the spirit, chicken soup for the soul and then I got goosebumps. Mark got goosebumps. My wife got goosebumps. Our agent got goosebumps. No one in New York got goosebumps.

And so what happens is we ask the next question, which is what are two ways you most love expressing those qualities? For some it might be acting, singing, meditating, reading, managing, writing, dancing, or whatever else.

I think something like 600,000 books a year are published. I think it was 60 or 600, and maybe only 60 books make the New York Times best-seller list. Now, you can become an Amazon best-seller for a day in a category if you understand the Amazon strategy, which involves getting a lot of people to buy your book on the same day, which punches up its rank. We teach that stuff in the Best Seller Bootcamp.

As the years go by and memories fade, there are things you distinctly remember from childhood. I think most children remember the times they were sick, whether it was a cold, a bellyache or something more severe. There was definitely more than once occasion I remember getting sick, but what is most vivid is my mom always taking care of me during those times. Whenever my brother, sister or myself were sick, my mom always sat up with us, caressed our hair and sang us the most beautiful Lebanese lullaby: Yalla Tnam Reema, which translates to "Go to Sleep Reema". The song is almost haunting to hear, a tune so connected to the one you love, the one you took care of you your whole life. That lullaby, some yansoon (anise tea) and chicken noodle soup. Those were the cures for any ailment. I can still smell the anise and hear my mom singing. Even now, she will do the same for my own kids.

Some days I wish I had as much patience as my mom did with all three of us growing up. She was and still is so loving, kind and nurturing. You know those parents that count down the days their kids leave to college? Or move out of the house? Yeah, that's not my mom. My mom is the exact opposite. She counts down the days until we come to visit, and I'd bet she'd take any of us in without question if we needed. She is the most selfless person I know, someone I admire for her strength, perseverance, acceptance to new things and bravery. Everything she does she does for the love of her family, her children and now grandchildren.

I can only hope that my kids look at me with awe and gratitude one day. I hope I can give my kids the love, attention, affection and support that my mom did and still does to me. So when I think of how to care for someone, I immediately go to food to nourish. Food is the way to our hearts whether we are healing from illness or learning to love. I hope you enjoy this chicken noodle soup recipe and it nourishes your soul and brings back memories of your childhood.

It's incredibly warm and hearty, salty and delicious. It can be vegetarian or not. And it will make the soul sing. If you've had a hard day and need a little hug from the inside out, this is the dish you're looking for!

Because magically, that's what food is capable of. Not only does it have the ability to nourish us physically, but it's also possible to choose foods that make your heart and soul sing. Sometimes that's because the dish brings back memories of your mom in the kitchen, the meal you had after a long day out raking leaves with your dad. Or sometimes it's simply the flavors and textures of the dish itself that just gives you a big, warm hug. It's part therapy, part nourishment. All love.

This Quick Weeknight Two-Lentil Soup is exactly that for me. It tastes nearly identical to the memory of my Mom's lentil soup that she used to make after holiday dinners to finish up a bunch of leftover ham, but I found a sneaky little shortcut that makes it possible to whip up on a moment's notice.

Here's the secret: by using two types of lentils we can simultaneously shorten the cooking time without sacrificing the texture. See, regular lentils typically have to cook down for a while to fully break down. But red lentils are hulled and split, meaning that they cook down much faster. So when we combine the two in a pot and let the soup cook for 25-30 minutes, the texture of a long boiled regular lentil soup appears, without having to sit on the stove for an hour or two.

Now, if you want a vegetarian or easier soup, by all means swap out the chicken broth for veggie and scrap the diced ham. But if you're looking for that classic Lentil and Ham soup flavor, this shortcut is a lifesaver on a rainy weeknight. I usually always have leftover ham from a roast or a frozen ham steak in the freezer, because it's so great to toss into a soup, an egg scramble or a pasta dish on any given day!
