Ahh, the soup that has forever changed my life. Seriously people, no other chicken noodle soup will ever be the same for me. I told the chef that it's changed my life and it really has; or at least I hope it has. In the second class, we poached whole chickens, made chicken stock, etuved vegetables, learned new knife skills and made a soup out of it all. For dessert, grapefruit, supremed and topped with basil chiffonade and candied zest. Yessir. Best Christmas present ever.
