Pheasant Noodle Soup is the best and easiest way to warm up this winter season.
This is a recipe I created using chicken in college. I have added more and more flavor to it over time and finally perfected it. It is delicious. My husband has been my tester for years on this recipe and he can confirm that this recipe has really grown for the better.
By cooking the meat in the crockpot, the pheasant is super tender. It also absorbs a ton of flavor. I have added jalapeños and hot sauce to give the soup a little kick. It isn’t too overwhelming. My mom hates spice, but absolutely loved this recipe. If you like spicy, don’t be afraid to add more. If you hate spice, I highly suggest leaving it, but you can omit it.
This recipe is SO easy and will be a hit for the whole family. If your kids don’t like vegetables, I suggest processing them into smaller pieces like I did in the photo. However, if you don’t care, chopping or dicing the vegetables will be best. This is perfect for the cold weather. I hope y’all enjoy it!
