Chicken Noodle Soup: Everyone's Favorite!

The cold weather seems to not be leaving any time soon! Lucky for me, I have been able to try some new soup recipes! In the past week, I choose to create a poll on Twitter to see what type of soup everyone would be interested in. The verdict was chicken noodle soup! I was so happy about the results because chicken noodle is my absolute favorite! Yum! I choose to create my own recipe for my chicken noodle soup. The soup incorporated the classics like onions, garlic, big chucks of carrots, celery. In order to make my soup unique, I always put in mushrooms to give it more flavor and honestly I find everything is better with mushrooms! I just purchased a dutch oven this past month. I have realized soups taste a lot better when prepared in a dutch oven and I cant seem to understand the reason. All I know for sure it that I will only prepare my soups in a dutch oven!

When preparing my soup, I wondered is chicken noodle a soup enjoyed across the world? Does each culture have their own spin that is unique to foods popular in their cultures? I had to go check it out! I went on my favorite site for recipes which is Food Network and found nothing that sounded good. It seems weird but I love to utilize YouTube to find recipe ideas! I can see exactly how people make their own soups unique and people will often give tips and recommendations! YouTube allows me the opportunity to expand my own knowledge on the different options when making soups! After a little searching, I was able to find a Korean Chicken Noodle Soup recipe. In Korea, chicken noodle soup is called “Dak-kalguksu!” I am always interested in expanding my knowledge when it comes to tasty soups to enjoy! This was a cultural spin on the classic soup! I decided to try the soup and it realized it took forever compare to when I made my own soup! I made the soup this past Monday, and I will probably never make it again because it was so time consuming! The experience was fun and it did taste really good once it was complete! If you have a whole day to yourself, I would recommend going ahead and trying this new spin on a classic chicken noodle soup!

I have attached the link to the Korean Chicken Noodle Soup, if any of you dare to make this recipe sometime! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ceg1QN56p0

  2. Hi Abbey,

    Awesome blog! Who doesn't love soup especially on a cold winter day? Everyone loves chicken noodle soup but I'm intrigued by Korean spin on the soup. My wife and I enjoy cooking meals that a long time so I just may have to give this one a go!

  4. Chicken noodle soup is always a favorite in our household. My mom in the winter will make a huge pot of her homemade chicken noodle soup. We will have to try the Korean chicken noodle soup one time. Great post!

  5. I have actually had Korean chicken noodle soup before and it is very good. I think that I will always stick to the traditional chicken noodle soup but sometimes that might not be a bad change of pace from the traditional kind.
