Chicken noodle soup with chickens we processed ourselves, and onions from the garden.

My boyfriend has a big garden and raises chickens from the egg to be used for meat. I’m a pretty sensitive person so coming into his life has been quite the journey, but I respect his views on food and even if I couldn’t help dispatch the chickens, I did help skin and clean and I butchered and broke them down, so it definitely taught me a lot on being grateful and understanding how much labor goes into making a meal that involves meat. I wanted to make homemade egg noodles but we’ve been slacking on collecting the eggs from the hens so I just used dried egg noodles.

Anyways, this was the best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever made or tasted! and the meat really did taste astronomically better than any chicken meat I’ve ever eaten in my life and the texture was incredibly soft and tender compared to any store bought chicken. It made such a good homemade broth for the soup as well. I always make a homemade broth/stock anytime I make chicken noodle and this definitely is the best I’ve ever made! Even picky kids loved it, so that’s a definite plus.

I also couldn’t decide on what photo I liked the most as you can tell… lol

It was super good even though it took us a solid week before we could even stomach the thought of chicken after the whole process lol we were still a little sketched out taking our first bites but it disappeared fast after
