What do we eat? Part III: Chicken Spätzle Soup

It's been getting cooler and the leaves are starting to change colors and fall off the trees. Now that Joe and I are both working, it's more difficult to get homemade meals on the table each night, but we managed to come up with a quick meal that it also appropriate for the dropping temperatures.

For this soup we decided to incorporate the local noodles - Spätzle. Most Americans pronounce this something like spat-zell, but it should actually sound more like spetz-leh. What we did was to saute some chicken, onions and carrots, then add broth and spices until the carrots were mostly cooked. Then we added fresh spätzle (you can also find it dried) and cooked until the noodles were soft. Perfect for a cool fall evening.
