A little home cookin'

I decided to make something for dinner that reminded me of home. I thought about it for awhile thinking about the materials which I had to use: a few pots and pans, silverware, a stovetop and microwave. I finally came up with chicken noodle soup. I woke up early today to beat the crowd to the Saturday market. I ventured through the tents full of fruits and veggies and grabbed a few ingredients for my soup: peppers, onion, carrots, celery, lima beans, and finally a chicken. Yes ma'am, the entire chicken. Luckily, the chicken's were cooked on the rotisserie and all I had to do was add it to my soup. However, I did feel a bit strange walking around with a chicken, so I hid it in the bag of veggies. I dropped off my main ingredients in my room and headed to grocery store to pick up some essential cooking ingredients: chicken broth, noodles and spices. Once I had gathered the materials, I was ready to cook.
Back in the room I chopped up the ingredients and dealt with the chicken; dismantling the best I could. I finally decided to throw in the legs, thighs, and wings and chop up the breast myself. Once I had all the needed ingredients in the pot, I began to simmer the soup. It is now about 3 hours into the simmering process and smells delicious. There is plenty to feed the entire dormitory, but by the smell of it I think I'll just keep it to myself. I can't wait to give it a try.
