Kids in the kitchen....again....

So, I let my kids experiment in the kitchen.  Jessica takes me up on this more than Andrew does, but they both enjoy cooking.  We call Jessica the 'Queen of Soup', it's her go-to food, especially in the winter.  Today's soup featured Udon noodles, chicken, and really the best broth she's ever done.

udon noodle soup

Melt 1Tbsp butter (or margarine) in saute pan, add chopped ginger and garlic (to personal taste).  Add cut raw chicken pieces, cook until browned, stirring often.  Meanwhile, heat two cans chicken broth and 1 1/3 cup water in saucepan, mixing in chicken flavor packet from udon package.  Add green onions, 1/2 tsp ginger, and 1/2 tsp hot chili sauce.  Once bubbling, add udon noodles and turn to low for approximately five minutes.  Add chicken when cooked and let flavors blend for a few minutes.  Enjoy!
