Noodle Soup + Nintendo

July 5, 2010 by Julie 24 Comments

Couple multiple Super Nintendo games with homemade noodle soup and you get a fifth grader’s perfect night… or an ideal night in the eye’s of two twenty-something guys. 😉

Late this afternoon Ryan’s cousin Daniel came over to our apartment so the two boys could enjoy an afternoon of throw-back video games.

Gamers

I wish I could say that the above picture was staged, but the facial expressions and random words coming out of these boys’ mouths were 100 percent original and genuine.

The guys weren’t the only ones enjoying the video games.

Can you spot Sadie?

Where's Sadie?

I hung  out with the guys for a bit before unpacking and starting on dinner.

This evening the three of us enjoyed homemade chicken noodle soup. I had to make an old-school dinner to complement their old-school video games. 🙂

Chicken Noodle Soup

I made the soup using my mom’s recipe, which is my all-time favorite chicken noodle soup recipe. It is a perfect cure for both colds and homesickness.

Sluuuurp

I love chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side. 😉

Wholesome Soup

Mom’s Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients

  • 4 c. reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 1 c. water
  • 1 packet Knorr vegetable soup mix
  • 2 large chicken breasts, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 large celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 1 package egg noodles

Directions

    Was the weather not a little hot for chicken soup? The soup looks amazing either way. Cannot wait to try and make it. Fingers crossed I can find the vegetable soup mix in the UK.

    In your recipe, you wrote that you add chicken and water together first. Then you add chicken and vegetables. Did you mean that you simmer the chicken broth and water? Or do you add the chicken broth and veggies to the chicken/water?

    It looks like a great recipe! Can’t wait to make it now that it’s getting colder!

    Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your
    favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest
    thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just
    don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

    Just made this and OMG..so easy and so good!! I added quite a bit more broth since I wanted it more brothy, but didn’t need to add more soup mix or anything. PERFECT for this sick girl over here! THANK YOU!! 🙂

Instagram post 2198195091008700660_40044681 The sequel to my previous “why do we even have toys” post. The question remains. 🤷🏼‍♀️❓ #intoeverything #toddlerlife
Instagram post 2193655309847019162_40044681 Busted out of the house last night for a Las Vegas themed holiday party! 🎉 Name that movie! 🐯👶🏻 #tigerslovepepper #babycarlos
Instagram post 2191873802065169562_40044681 Slow Cooker Holiday Mulled Wine: The simple, low-maintenance, crowd-pleasing holiday beverage you've been looking for to make for your next holiday party! 🍷✨ This is my go-to recipe because it's warm and comforting and just sweet and cinnamon-y enough to feel like a festive holiday drink. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here are the steps:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Throw everything into a slow cooker⁠⠀
Allow mulled wine to warm up on “low” for an hour⁠⠀
Reduce to “warm” and top with a sprinkle of thinly-sliced oranges and cranberries⁠⠀
Walk away and enjoy your party⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And the ingredient list is simple, too! Find the full recipe on the blog here: https://www.pbfingers.com/slow-cooker-holiday-mulled-wine/⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Oh and please do not feel the need to splurge on an expensive red wine for this recipe! I once had a sommelier friend of mine tell me that when it comes to making mulled wine, simply choose a red wine you like to drink. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy but it simply has to appeal to you without all of the added ingredients that morph it into a deliciously sweet holiday favorite. For this batch, I made the Slow Cooker Holiday Mulled Wine with a $6.99 bottle of Wellsley Farms’ Cabernet Sauvignon from @bjswholesale. Once you pour it into the slow cooker and fancy it up with thinly-sliced oranges 🍊 and pops of cranberry, no one will know you used a bottle of wine that cost less than $7 in the recipe anyway! Enjoy!!! #ad #mulledwine #holidaydrinks #holidayrecipes #slowcooker
