The best chicken noodle soup ever

Warning: all measurements are approximate. Make sure to adjust for personal taste.

1 chicken breast grilled and cubed
1 quart chicken broth
1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh peas
Small bunch of chives (I use a kitchen shears to cut into small pieces)
1 cup bow tie pasta
1 tbsp dried parsley.
1 1/2 pieces crumbled bacon

Bring the Roth to a low rolling boil. Add the pasta chicken, chives, and parsley. If using fresh peas add them two minutes before pasta is done. Add the bacon at the same time. Salt and pepper to taste.

Chive Blossom Vinegar

Place two cups of chive blossoms per 1 quart jar.
Fill the jar with white vinegar and cover with plastic.
Allow to ferment for two weeks before straining out the blossoms.
Keep the vinegar in a dark location so that the color does not fade.
