NOODLE BOWLS

Steps:

• Heat 3 quarts of vegetable stock or chicken broth to a boil in a soup pot. In a separate pot, cook linguini according to package directions and drain.
• Add chicken to boiling broth. Poach chicken 5 minutes in broth. Ladle soup into 4 deep bowls, equally distributing broth and chicken. Divide veggies into 4 equal amounts and place in the bowls. Divide cooked fresh pasta into 4 equal amounts and place into the bowls. Cover bowls and allow to steep for 3 to 4 minutes. Gently incorporate noodles up from the bottom of each bowl and serve. SLURP away! It is customary to slurp as you eat, using oversized spoons to drag the noodles up to your mouth. You might need a bib, but you will have fun! Noodle bowls may be garnished with cilantro and or chives for an extra herby zing.

Steps:

• In a skillet on medium to low heat, put roast in a large skillet.
• Pour can of beef broth over beef and add onion and garlic clove.
• Cook for 1 hour until broth is about 1/2 gone.
• After an hour, add Au jus, water, salt and pepper.
• Mix well until Au jus is disolved.
• Add sliced carrots and cook for additional hour until meat and carrots are tender.
• In a separate pan cook noodles until tender and drain.
• Put noodles in a serving dish, cut meat into pieces (should be tender enough to pull apart) and add to noodles.
• Pour remaining liquid from pan over noodles and beef.
• Stir well and serve.
• You can add more of less carrots.
• We like a lot of carrots.
• Also, I like to turn my roast off and let it sit for about 15 minutes in the pan before cutting so it will retain more of the juices.
• ENJOY!
