chicken noodle soup

Chicken noodle soup is easy i did it on Sunday and it took me about hour. In a stock pot cook off onions, garlic, celery. Once they are softened add chariots and chicken stock.

Now if you want to make it really good, use home made stock. Witch is really easy to. When you roast a chicken save the drippings and skim off the fat and there is its. But if you have boxed that will do, use the box stuff not the caned, the caned has a lot more salt in it. I used box and some home made this time.

You should be seasoning as you are going adding salt and pepper to the onion mix and then again when you add in the stock.

This time I'm using just cut up chicken breast. But the best thing is leftover roast chicken. But with the regular prepackaged, just cut up chicken (any parts that you like). And cook the chicken in a pan first just to cook it part of the way. Once the "pinkness" is mostly gone add to the pot and de-glaze the pan with some chicken broth. Then add that broth form the pan back in to the pot.

Now I like to cook my noodles separate because they don't get mushy. So just cook you noodles in some water and once soft add to a bowl and pore soup over them and it ready to go

Kokoro

I like Kokoro for fast Japanese food. Its good, there is better out there but its fast and cheep. The food is good for the price, $6-7 a bowl. They have a good Unagi and Curry bowl. The best part is that they are a local Denver chain, any chance I get to eat local.

So if your looking for something fast good and local, hit up Kokoro

Now Tokyo Joe's is local to, but they are just ok. for some reason I like Kokoro much better. I dont know if it is just because Kokoro seams more authentically Japanese, or that they have a curry sauce not just traiki or that it has Udon (it good to) on the menu or what. but Kokoro is just better. The ONLY thing that Tokyo Joe's has thats Kokoro donest is a bowl with eggs in its the "Okako bowl". I love eggs in my Japanese food specially bowls.
