Cozy Chicken Noodle Soup and Baked Apples: A Homestyle Family Dinner

Homestyle Favorites. Farm Market Value.

Cooler days call for a warm, home-cooked meal. Bring comfort to your table with homemade chicken noodle soup, followed by cinnamon baked apples topped with ice cream.

At Shady Maple Farm Market in East Earl, PA, you can gather the ingredients for both recipes while stocking up on your family’s everyday favorites.

Simple Ingredients for a Comforting Dinner

Boneless skinless chicken breast tenders, Little Barn Fine Noodles, and College Inn Chicken Broth make a flavorful foundation for chicken noodle soup. White or gold potatoes add heartiness, while carrots and celery bring extra color and flavor.

For dessert, pick up Cortland, Empire, or McIntosh apples and Turkey Hill Ice Cream. Baking the apples with cinnamon, butter, and brown sugar creates a warm finishing touch for your meal.

Easy Cozy Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe

This homemade chicken noodle soup combines tender chicken, fine noodles, and potatoes in a savory broth.

Servings: 4
Prep time: Approximately 10 minutes
Cook time: Approximately 30 minutes, depending on noodle cooking time

Ingredients

  • 1 carton (32 oz.) College Inn Chicken Broth, regular or low sodium

  • 1 cup water, plus more as needed

  • ½ lb. boneless skinless chicken breast tenders

  • 2 medium white or gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes

  • ½ cup uncooked Little Barn Fine Noodles

  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced, optional

  • 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced, optional

  • ⅛ tsp. ground black pepper

  • Salt to taste, optional

Directions

  1. Start the soup. Combine broth, water, potatoes, pepper, and optional carrot and celery in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then add chicken. Reduce heat, cover, and gently simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F when checked with a food thermometer.

  2. Shred the chicken. Remove the cooked chicken and shred it with two forks. Continue simmering the vegetables until the potatoes are nearly tender.

  3. Cook the noodles. Stir in the noodles and cook according to the package directions until the noodles and potatoes are tender.

  4. Finish and serve. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and heat through. Add water as needed for your preferred consistency. Taste before adding salt, then ladle into bowls.

Kitchen tip: Noodles absorb broth as they sit. Add a little extra broth or water when reheating to bring the soup back to your preferred consistency.

Easy Cinnamon Baked Apples with Ice Cream

These baked apple slices are simple to prepare and easy to serve. Cinnamon and brown sugar complement the fruit, while a scoop of ice cream melts into the warm apples.

Servings: 4
Prep time: Approximately 10 minutes
Bake time: Approximately 30–40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium Cortland, Empire, or McIntosh apples

  • 2 tbsp. butter, melted

  • 2 tbsp. packed brown sugar

  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • 2 tbsp. water

  • Turkey Hill Ice Cream, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven. Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or a similar small baking dish.

  2. Prepare the apples. Wash, core, and cut the apples into approximately ½-inch-thick slices. Peel them if desired.

  3. Add the topping. Place the apples in the baking dish. Add melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then toss until evenly coated. Pour the water into the bottom of the dish.

  4. Bake covered. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

  5. Finish uncovered. Carefully remove the foil, stir, and bake for another 10–20 minutes, until the apples reach your preferred tenderness. Start checking early, especially when using McIntosh apples, which soften quickly.

  6. Serve warm. Let the apples cool slightly, then spoon into bowls. Top each serving with a scoop of Turkey Hill Ice Cream and a little of the cinnamon sauce from the baking dish.

Kitchen tip: For apples that retain more shape, choose Cortland or Empire. McIntosh works well when you prefer a softer dessert.

Make It a Cozy Night In

Start the apples first, then prepare the soup while they bake. Once the apples are tender, set them aside to cool while you enjoy dinner. Add the ice cream just before serving dessert.

Together, these recipes turn familiar grocery staples into a comforting meal with a sweet finish.
