Herb Pot Update

Here are my sorry looking herb pots.

I can definitely get smell off the catnip but the leaves are so small the cats would probably be insulted if I tried to give them a piece of the plant.

I don't know if my poor result is from a combination of inferior dirt and the heat, but I will try again next year for sure. I am not disillusioned at all.

I cooked a chicken in the slow cooker and had to do something with it so I am making homemade chicken noodle soup.  My it does smell good.  It called for the herbs marjoram and thyme and I had some, but I thought it would have been nice to go to my "pots" and get some fresh.  But I didn't plant those flavors. 

Here is a picture of my simmering pot.

I like chunks of everything instead of chopped.  That way it is easier to remove the offending piece of vegetable that the person doesn't like.  I am meaning Kevin as he doesn't like onions.  When he was little he called them 'yunyions'.  He likes the flavor just not the actual yunyion.

I will have this tasty soup for my lunches this week.

Here is the recipe.

I found it in a Taste of Home

Heartwarming Soups Magazine and then did it "My Way".

Chicken Noodle Soup

1 cooked chicken done in a crock pot, cut or pull apart the cooked meat.

In a large pot add:

2 1/2 quarts of water

3 tsp. salt

6 chicken bouillon cubes

1/2 medium onion cut into large chunks

1/8 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp. dried marjoram

1/4 tsp. dried thyme

1 can of baby carrots

1 cup chunked celery.

 Let simmer until vegetables are tender.

Add the noodles and cook till soft.

Enjoy with warm bread, and a cool side salad.
