Brrrrrr. Mmmmm.

Category: Daily Diary

Today was our first snowfall in Chicago. It wasn't a whole lot of accumulation, but it sure was cold. For me, the first snowfall is always a time when I get a bit nostalgic for soup.

My mom always made the best chili and chicken noodle soups. The were never elaborate, but with the weather turning cold they are great comfort food. The best part was that she would always make huge batches, then put the leftovers out on the back porch...it was cold enough so that was just as good as putting them in the fridge.

I learned her chicken noodle soup recipe a long time ago, but tonight was the first time I tried the chili. I fudged the recipe a little bit (her recipe doesn't include the Killian's Irish Red), but it was just as good as I remember it.

ok, enough with the pause...do we get the recipe?

Looks great- I'll have to make some chili in the next few days!

Mmmmm. Beer! My favorites are FREE and FREE LITE but if I can't get those I buy Killians!

Okay, I read it a little quickly and thought it was one recipe: chili & chicken noodle soup, like combined. I was feeling a little queasy until I re-read it. The chili, sans chicken & noodles, looks yummy, which Mr P were a chili fan.

I made the mistake of looking at your picture of the cooking chili when I had the stomach flu and it reminded me of vomit, and thats what happened next to me.
