Another Night of Trouble

So another day of things unplanned...I decided to make chicken noodle soup, since the weather dropped like 60 degrees...and of course nothing ever seems to go to plan. There were no egg noodles or bay leaves though I swore that I had both in the pantry. Luckily I was able to score the noodles but it would have been useless to add the bay leaves at the last moment. Either way, the soup turned out f-a-b-ulous! A little thinner than I'm used to, but the flavor more than made up for that:)

Chelle's Cocky Chicken Noodle Soup

2 T olive oil

2 c chicken breast, chopped

1 carrot, sliced

1 celery, sliced

2 green onions, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 jalapeno, minced

1/4 c white wine

1 1/2 q chicken broth

1 T hot sauce

1 T parsley

1/2 t nutmeg

1 t cayenne

4 oz dried egg noodles

salt and pepper to taste

Brown chicken in olive oil in pot on medium for about 2 min. Add carrot and celery, cook for about 5 more min. Add green onions, garlic, and jalapeno and cook for 2 min. Add white wine, cook for 5 min to let wine cook down. Add chicken broth, hot sauce, parsley, nutmeg and cayenne. Bring to a boil. Add egg noodles, let simmer covered on low for 15 min. Add salt and pepper to taste.

CHEFS TIP: The reason you add the larger vegetables first, is because the smaller ones would burn. If ever a recipe calls for the garlic to be added with the onion and other vegetables...DON'T DO IT, you'll burn the garlic, resulting in one n-a-s-t-y dish.
