Cold and snowy tonight, making homemade chicken noodle soup.

Man, I haven't done chicken soup in ages. If given a choice I'd take chicken and dumplings but I also love soup. When I do soup I never add the noodles to the soup until ready to eat. If making a large batch I don't add noodles until I've thawed what I'm going to eat that day and add raw noodles to the soup and heat until the noodles are done. Just personal preference to keep the noodles from getting mushy. Whether noodles or pasts I'm a believer in al dente. If interested the term 'al dente', if literally translated from Italian means 'to the tooth'. This means tender but firm with some chew.

For tonight I don't know what I'm doing but it will probably include a rib eye steak. My normal football Sunday dinner is a rib eye and baked tater. Didn't realize I was out of baking taters so that is out although I could come up with something using baby taters. Another option is to cook the rib eye on the rare side of medium rare and thin slicing. Add some bell pepper, cheese and onion and I'd pretty much have a Philly cheese steak but would do as a wrap in an extra large flour tortilla. Except for onion rolls I keep for burgers, garlic bread and such I seldom have bread in the house.

Onion rolls are da bomb!

The soup was pretty good. Warm and satisfying on a cold winter night. I'm with you, I added the noodles in the last 20 mins. Nice wide egg noodles.
