Hi Dave,

 DD> very oily chilli. And that only to soak up all that wonderful oil. In
 DD> my lexicon any soup thick enough (as served) to be eaten with a fork
 DD> is a stew.   Bv)=

 RH> Semantics! (or is it some antics?)

 DD> The best soups are really stews that have been "thinned" with liquid.
 DD> My favourite chicken noodle soup is really leftover chicken and
 DD> home-made egg noodles thinned with chicken broth.   Bv)=

Sounds like a good one to me. Most of the time when I do chicken soup,
it has veggies in it besides the chicken, and some other pasta than
noodles. I'll use rice sometimes if I'm doing a "clean out the fridge"
type sooup.

When Steve's family came in for his seminary graduation 2 years ago, I
made a quick chicken soup that tasted like it had cooked for hours. I
got a couple of quarts of home made stock going, then shredded a
rotisserie chicken into it. I let it cook for about half an hour, then
added a bag of frozen, mixed veggies, let it cook about 20 minutes more.
Then I added about a quart of water and a 1 pound bag of some sort of
whole wheat pasta, let it cook for another 20 minutes or so. Seasonings
were what was on the chicken, in the stock, poultry seasoning and s&p.
Home made biscuits went with it, crackers for those that wanted.

 RH> You're one of the exceptions to the above rule then. You didn't even

 DD> But, of course. We took breaks - steady working is less productive

 RH> Or walk over to the vending machine for your mid afternoon sugar hit?

 DD> Even in those days I was doing black coffee, diet soda or unsweetened
 DD> Ice Tea.

Others may have taken the mid afternoon sugar hits; you took a caffiene
break. (G)
