CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Chicken Noodle Soup

2 chicken breasts ~bones in.
I remove most of the flesh before boiling the bones- these I freeze for later use.
Boil those bones in about a gallon of water for several hours with:
1 large coarsly chopped onion
3 coarsly chopped stalks celery

I like to strain my broth unless the bones are very obvious.
Put the bits of chicken in the broth when you pick the bones out.
I add about 3 Tbsp of chicken base to my broth for that salty taste, and a splash of seasonings:
parsley
garlic powder or the real deal
Soul food seasoning

Add veggies.. this is the best part for me. I clean out the refrig of most any veggie that I think would be good in the soup.
Broccoli, Carrots, Potatoes, Peas, Mixed veggies, Mushrooms, or even beans.
Simmer these for at least until the veggies are softened- usually an hour or so.
In the mean time, boil a small pot of noodles.. I like the egg noodles best, but you can use any kind of noodle.
I add the noodles about 10 min before I'm ready to serve my soup.
Soup is served with saltine crackers or oyster crackers.. mmmm

Home Made White Bread

HOME MADE WHITE BREAD
2 Loaves
400* for 30-35 minutes

5 1/2- 6c flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp salad oil
2 pkg yeast
1c water
1c milk

In a large bowl, place 2c of the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast
Heat the milk with the water and oil.. cool to lukewarm and add to the flour mix.
My recipe says to beat it with a mixer, but I use a large wooden spoon until well mixed.
Begin adding more of the flour a little at a time until too stiff to use the spoon.
Flour a board or table top and dump the dough onto the surface.
Keep adding the flour a little at a time, kneading as you go.. until the dough is no longer sticky and has absorbed the flour.
I set a timer for the kneading.. 10 minutes. I don't know as that is necessary; you can't over knead the dough.. but you definitely can UNDER knead it. So plan on 8-10 minutes.
Set the dough aside in a kind of warm place to raise.. give it 20-30 minutes to double in size. Cover it with a clean tea towel.
Divide the dough into 2 loaves and form these loaves so they are smooth on top. Place the loaves in greased bread pans.
Set aside for about 30 minutes more to raise again. I put my pans in the oven with a pan of super hot water underneath. Cover the loaves with a tea towel.
When the dough is sufficiently raised in the pans, it's ready to bake.
Bread can be checked for doneness by rapping or tapping on the top of the bread. If it sounds hollow, it's done.
