Chicken Noodle Soup
Onion Biscuits

Cooking time:  90 minutes for menu       Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

            A classic soup, easy to make and always delicious.  If you want to make a full pot of stock, which takes a couple of hours, use a small stewing chicken. Reduce and freeze what you don't use for this soup.

Chicken Noodle Soup

Total time: 120 minutes
      If you can get cheap chicken wings, add them to the stock for more flavor.  Use traditional egg noodles, spaetzle or any type of small pasta. This will make enough for 4 generous servings.  If you want more soup, use a stewing  hen, or add another breast and thigh and increase the vegetables.

Onion Biscuits

Total time: 25 minutes
    The way to make light biscuits is a minimum of handling.  For those not familiar with baking powder biscuits - they are light and wonderful eaten with melted butter while still hot from the oven.  They resemble hockey pucks the next day so don't bother to save the leftovers.

Note:  This will yield 5 - 8 biscuits.  I cut my regular biscuit recipe in half.
