Chicken Noodle Soup and Friends Make Everything Better!

Since it still doesn't feel quite like Spring just yet, I decided to embrace the chill in the air and attempt to make my mom's DEEEEELICIOUS homemade chicken noodle soup, for the FIRST time!

And since this guy...

was in town for a visit, I had 2 eager taste-testers in house!  Side-note:  Rob brought his own slippers with him "so that he could feel at home."  I thought that was sweet and wanted to capture the moment before it quickly passed. ;)  

Here goes nothing...

mmmmmm....fresh vegetables!

My first wishbone!

Please note:  I spared you all photos of the actual chicken.  I almost became a vegetarian during that process.  Who knew so many things could be packed inside of such a small little body?!  All I have to say is THANK GOODNESS the guys were around to help.

Our apartment smelled a.m.a.z.i.n.g.  

Ready to go!

Results:  

Surprisingly, it tasted just like my moms!   

Rob asked for the recipe - must be a good sign, right?

Wes fell into a food coma immediately after finishing. 

They both had soup for breakfast the next morning.

All-in-all I would call it a success!  

THANKS MOM!
