Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

BBQ Chicken Noodle Soup

BBQ Chicken Noodle Soup

A chicken noodle soup inspired by BBQ chicken pizza!

BBQ chicken pizza is one of my favourites and I enjoy using its flavour in other dishes, like in this BBQ chicken noodle soup! This recipe starts out as a pretty simple chicken noodle soup recipe, replacing the celery with bell peppers, and adding BBQ sauce, tomatoes, beans, corn, green onions and cilantro. I usually serve the soup topped with cheese and sometimes like to add other flavours from BBQ pizza such as bacon, pickled banana peppers, pineapple, and/or fresh diced red peppers! No matter how you make it, this BBQ chicken noodle soup is sure to please!
