Chicken Noodle and Sweetcorn Soup
Chicken Noodle and Sweetcorn Soup
Chicken noodle and sweetcorn soup was what I came up with when my littlest girl was sick one day. I was meant to do the grocery shopping that day and had planned to pick up something for dinner while at the shops. Instead, we spent the day snuggled up watching Peppa Pig on the lounge, while I wracked my brain thinking of what I could make for dinner. This is what I came up with.
Everything here involves pantry staples and things I had in the freezer. I was floating about like Mary Poppins adding a spoonful of this and a sprinkle of that and was thrilled with the result, as was my little girl. There’s nothing fancy here, just good basic food that needs no airs and graces.
Sometimes you just want to snuggle up and have some soup and noodles. Peppa Pig is optional.
