plunkybugIn my state earlier, and kinda now, just not the moodiness or crying, I decided to make more garlic soup, but I did it differently today.
I decided to omit the Better Than Bouillon til the end, and therefore simmered the garlic in the water directly. It actually looked cool! I used a little less garlic than I had been before, but still a fair amount. The reason for not adding the BTB to the hot water was I wanted to see if it kept the broth cleaner looking as it kinda breaks up a little with the simmering and foams a bit, which isn't bad. It is only me eating it, but it also let me add the right amount of broth the the water later. This was a good decision.
My additions were a little leftover rotisserie chicken from dinner last night, and a handful of egg noodles. Again, to keep the water pure, I put a handful of noodles and a good amount of water into my micro cooker, and set it for 10 minutes while the garlic was cooking in the water and I shredded a few bits of chicken for my soup. When all components were done (including mashing the garlic), I add them back to the pan, with a good bit of parsley and let it simmer together for a little while longer on low.
And it was so yummy. I forced myself not to have it all in one sitting so I would have some later after my nap. And of course it was sitting together, and the flavors melded and all that while I was sleeping. I think it is my best version yet.
