An Award Winning Chicken Soup
I know that my mother's chicken soup is pretty wonderful but I never have put it to the test of some competition.I have shared her recipe in this blog and have had people who tried it compliment the recipe. But now I am so proud of my old college roommate Lauren. Lauren is not old but we have been out of college for a while. She won the best chicken soup in the city of Columbus Ohio. I guess I know of what I speak when I say good chicken soup.
After being a judge for a number of years Lauren decide to put her own recipe up to the challenge. Cooking is nothing new for Lauren. She was one of my roommates that really cooked and cooked great meals. I guess I have been lucky that I have always surrounded myself with people who love to eat, love to eat great food and love to cook. Life does not get much better than that.
What I love about Lauren's award is that over the years I have eaten her chicken soup numerous times. I have always complimented her on her cooking but as is her style to slough it off that she just keeps on making great meals. I also love that Lauren uses the big European soup spoons when she serves soup. Big spoons to capture all that wonderful.
But now others have given her an award I am sure it means more and the size of the award is something too. I am wondering if she will share her recipe with us. I am wondering if I bribe Collin her son and her sous chef to get the recipe he would give it up. I DOUBT IT...
I think I will have to find a reason to get invited for a dinner and see if she will share it.

Just wondering how long I have to cook my mothers chicken soup before I can call it my chicken soup? I never had Lauren's mother's soup but I have eaten Lauren's chicken soup a lot. I need to ask her if it is her mother's recipe or one she discovered somewhere else...
