What do you get when you've got nothing to make for dinner?

...TOM-LOVE SOUP!



The other day I was distracted until I realized my stomach was growling. It was 7:30pm and I had nothing prepared for dinner...and we might not have been grocery shopping for over a week... I know I'm a "horrible wife". So I decided to get creative.

I put some chicken broth in a big pot.
a bag of frozen broccoli,
frozen corn,
cut up a frozen kilbasey that I had in the freezer, and
some quick homemade noodles.
Oh yeah, and I added some spices at my leisure...
fennel, thyme,
bay leaves,
a little cream,

and of course some Tony's .

I was so proud of myself because I thought I had been so creative and had created a masterpiece. Its not that it was bad, it just wasn't that good. You know, too many combinations of flavors... Its ok though, because it included a game. Chase had to search his soup for the two "special noodles".

I know, we're crazy. Ya gotta mix life up a little sometimes you know?


P.S. The "Tom" part of this culinary masterpiece comes from the "T" noodle. Tom is the nickname that Chase and I both call eachother. Thats a story for another day...
