CHICKEN NOODLE LIPTON STYLE SOUP

 Welcome back to "Let's Cook.' 

The place where you can learn how to cook at home, have better food, and save a TON of money

We all LOVE soup. Penny and I always have home made soup in the freezer. And when you have a great big Dagwood sandwich, nothing is a better companion than SOUP.

Soup is the all American food, and what soup is at the top of the list ???

Yes, we are talking about LIPTON Noodle Soup.

It would really hit the spot on a cold winter day in Indiana.

                        

Don't miss it one little bit

We all grew up with this food. As a kid it was my favorite. (I never read the ingredients)

In order to replicate this recipe, I think we need to try it. So under cover of darkness, Penny and I covertly bought a box of this deliciousness.

The 'Flavor' packet

Boil the water

Doesn't that look 'good?'

Comes with directions and everything

Just BOIL IT !!!

yum yum

The cracker helped

I did like the noodles

So we made it, and tried it, bringing back all those memories of my childhood.

Actually it tasted better than it looked. 

But, as with all of these types of prepared madness, it was way TOO salty.

I told Penny that I liked it more than the stuff that came out of the red and white can. And if I had the creeping crud, the broth would be good. (But we have home made)

And that's all I have to say about that.

So now, come along as we not only try to replicate this one, but make it BETTER.

Let's make THIS :

This is NOT a hard recipe. If you can read, understand and follow all of the ....(whoops, wrong blog)

If you can follow simple directions and boil water, You are IN !!!

Really folks, make this one, You will never eat boxed or canned soup again.
