Made with Love

W's new favorite food would have to be chicken noodle soup.  All winter long it was a huge fan favorite... what is not to love?  It is delicious and nutritious.  Not to mention, when cooked in the crock pot, piping hot and when it is negative 20 degrees outside that seems pretty fantastic.

Despite the end of what seemed like an eternal winter, the chicken noodle soup love has stayed strong.  So I busted out my big girl, not paring like recommended, knife and prayed I would not slice off a finger while attempting to carve out some heart shaped carrots.  What is homemade cooking without a little love?






One simple search of Pinterest, Instagram, or google for chicken noodle soup with heart shaped carrots would pull up a sufficient recipe.  I recommend using LARGE carrots and a true paring knife.  This video gives you step by step instructions with 2 methods for preparing the carrots (I used chicken breasts instead of thighs and cooked on low in the crock pot for 6 hours).
