This past weekend, I had the opportunity to help provide a dinner for Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He arrived in town Saturday afternoon, and had a short amount of time to eat on Saturday between conference sessions. A light dinner was requested, and the stake Relief Society presidency, along with some other sisters, brought soups, salads, homemade rolls, and desserts. I brought the chicken noodle soup.
I don't know if Elder Cook ate the chicken noodle soup, or the yummy cheesy potato soup my friend Tammy made. Regardless, it's fun to think of this recipe as the soup I fixed for an apostle.
Thanks for the chance to eat dinner with Elder Cook, and to listen to him speak on Saturday and Sunday.

That soup does look delicious! I'm going to have a to wait a while yet for the soups, it is still to warm out (but I'm OK with that!)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully sweet of you gals. You know he really appreciated it. So now - I have to try a soup what was good enough to serve to the apostle! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I don't have one for chicken noodle and I've always wanted to make it.
ReplyDeleteYum! And to think an apostle ate it. I'm going to try your recipe. I'm cold.
