Time for a Thaw

The snow is beautiful, but now  is the time for it to go.  My weekend plans had to be changed since you must feed cows when there is snow on the ground!  Anyway, we will trek to Oklahoma when the weather is better, and we can leave with a clear conscience.  This morning Scott took our Little Pickle to school, so I have yet to venture out.  I have been our our back porch, where our washer and dryer reside, and it is COLD!!! Thankfully, I remembered to turn the heat on in the laundry room, so my washer still works and there is no accumulation of ice in the pipes!  Thank you Lord for small blessings!!! Anyway, the laundry is caught back up until school is out and I am sure we will have to venture back out in the snow once again to slide around on the Mississippi Luge!

Since today is one of the coldest yet, I will share a recipe for a great, warm soup that is sure to make you nice and toasty!  My Little Pickle made this for us yesterday, and I will share this with you.  The original recipe was from a Disney Princess cookbook, but we changed it to our taste and what we had on hand. This  made a great soup, that Pickle loved so let's just call this one "Princess Pickle's Chicken Soup." 

Princess Pickle's Chicken Soup

2 cans chicken broth, or 1 box of broth
2 cups of water
3 carrots sliced thin, should be about 1 1/2 cups
1 can of corn
2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 box of mini bow tie pasta

Bring water and broth to a boil in a medium sauce pan.  Add carrots and cook until tender.  Stir in remaining ingredients and cook until pasta is tender.  Serve with warm bread sticks.  Enjoy!
