Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

 Hello Friends,

Happy Wholesome foods Wednesday! (I don't know if that's a thing yet... guess I just made it up if it's not 😆). I don't know if I can think of anything better than a hot cup of homemade soup on a cold rainy afternoon, sitting curled up in a cozy blanket all snuggled by the fire.😍 This recipe is my go to when I want a yummy warm cup of soup on a blustery, cold, wet day or when one of my kiddos is feeling under the weather. It is always an instant pick me up and soothes an upset tummy or an achy, tired body and satisfies my families appetites when they are getting hangry. 😋 To make this extra filling I like to add in a mix of shredded chicken and any ground elk or beef I have on hand (that has already been cooked) for a bit of extra protein. 

There is just something so satisfying about a steamy cup of homemade soup on a cold winter day that soothes my soul and warms me up quickly. My family is always so happy to gobble up any homemade soup I present them, but this is a classic and one of their ultimate faves :) Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! 

INGREDIENTS:

3 celery stalks chopped

3 medium size carrots chopped

1/2 of a sweet onion diced

1 tablespoon of coconut oil

1 or 2 32 ounces of organic chicken broth (I generally use 2 boxes for a larger batch of soup)

2 cups shredded chicken (cooked)

1/2 teaspoon each of: basil, oregano, onion salt, salt & pepper (or to your preferences)

1 bag of organic egg flour noodles (or 1  1/2 bags for a larger batch)

*Optional:

1 can of corn, drained

1 bell pepper chopped

1/2 tsp of garlic powder

2-3 slices of cooked, turkey bacon diced (to sprinkle on top or cook in the soup. We like to add it while the soup cooks for added flavor)


INSTRUCTIONS:

In your Instant Pot: 

-Add chopped carrots, celery and diced onion with a tablespoon of coconut oil and press the saute' button. Saute' for 3-5 minutes or until veggies soften. 

-Next add in shredded chicken (*also can add in shredded elk or shredded beef to make a heartier soup) and stir to combine

-Add in noodles and seasonings and stir well to mix ingredients. 

-Cover with organic chicken broth (may not cover the top of noodles and that's okay ;))

-Place lid on IP and set press manual for 5 minutes. Once timer goes off do a quick release, turn off heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Serve and sprinkle with a small amount of shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream if preferred. 

*This soup pairs well with homemade rolls or store bought works great too :) 

ENJOY!

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

  Creamy Chicken Enchiladas: This yummy recipe for chicken enchiladas is sure to be a crowd pleaser and be a hit even with picky eaters! It is super easy and adaptable, you can whip it up in a snap while catering to your families health needs/preferences and individual tastes :)  What I love most is that I can prep multiple dishes all at once, one for tonight and one for later in the week or to pop in the freezer for a night I am short on time and but want to provide a homecooked meal for my family (double bonus🙌).  First start with gathering all your ingredients:  -Tortillas: Either store bought or homemade ( I love to use flat out brand, 5 grain fold it tortilla's (healthier version) or Mission whole wheat or flour tortillas (my kiddos prefer these as they are a bit softer and less chewy texture).  -Meat: Chicken (or any other meat could be substituted. *I also love to use ground elk or organic grass fed ground beef, both are equally delicious) -Rice: Basmati...

The journey that brought me to homeschooling: part II

Hi friends, Today I thought I'd share about our journey to homeschooling with you. I've had a few inquiries on my Instagram account about what got me into homeschooling lately and I'd love to take you on the journey with me while I reminisce :) So lets go back to the beginning, a little over 9 years ago my kiddos and I were living a completely different life. We were barely hanging on by a thread and just trying to survive another day. That's life, living with an abusive alcoholic and meth addict. I am so grateful and beyond thankful to say that my kiddos and I are survivors of domestic violence/abuse and that we are here, thriving and living an incredible life.

Duel Enrollment programs, what are they and how do they work

   Hello friends, One of the questions I've received most often over the past year is what is duel enrollment and how does it work. Ever since we decided our daughter would participate in the program we have had many questions from family and friends. Mainly out of intrigue and interest, but I’m sure some curiosity about what the program is and how it works ;)  As most of our friends and family know, our daughter began her first year as a duel enrolled student at the beginning of this school year. She is both a junior in high school & enrolled as a freshmen at our local community college. The program she is enrolled in allows her to simultaneously earn both her high school credits and a years worth of college credits while she completes prerequisites at the community college. Depending on your child's interests and level of commitment to the program it is possible for a student that is enrolled to graduate high school & receive an AA degree at the same time. ...
