Love, of Course is the latest movie in Hallmark Channel’s Fall Harvest 2018 movies. It stars Cameron Mathison, Kelly Rutherford, Mackenzie Vega, and Gabby Douglas.
The story begins with Amy (Kelly Rutherford), feeling sad about having to return back home after driving her daughter to college and becoming an empty nester, but much to her surprise and happiness she is offered a six-week job of planning the school’s Harvest Festival instead.
Attendance has fallen because Noah (Cameron Mathison), the professor in charge, put too much emphasis on “Harvest” and not enough of “Festival.”
This is where Amy steps in with her new ideas that clash with Noah’s. It leads to Amy eventually being offered a full-time job, but one snag. Just when Amy and Noah begin to fall in love, Noah is offered a professorship in Australia. Oh, no! What will happen?
As I viewed the trailer for the movie, there was a scene where Noah offers Amy a pot of chicken soup. So guess what my recipe is for this movie?
I made a big pot of comforting chicken noodle soup, filled with chunks of chicken, egg noodles, carrots, parsnip, onion, dill, and parsley.
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped celery
- ½ cup cubed parsnip
- 1-1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- ½ teaspoon salt - or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cans (14.5 ounces each) chicken broth
- 2 cups uncooked wide egg noodles
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, onion, celery, and parsnip. Cook and stir until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken, parsley, dill, salt, pepper, and chicken broth to the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add uncooked egg noodles and simmer another 10 minutes or until noodles are just cooked.
- Serve hot with additional sprinkles of chopped parsley and dill, if desired. Serves 4 to 6.
Be sure and watch Saturday, October 20th at 8pm/7c on the Hallmark Channel. I’m curious to see the chicken soup Noah makes!
Smart man! Chicken soup to warm the body, soul & heart. I am definitely trying your recipe with the added parsnip Sounds delicious ❤️
I think you will like the soup, Kim! I love the addition of parsnips too.
They also made some kind of backed apples. Can you get the recipe for me?? They looked sooo yummy!
Hi Karen- I don’t remember the baked apples. Were they whole? Sliced? Have a topping or stuffed?
They were whole. They scooped out a ball with cookie scoop and put in some crumbs of some kind and maybe topped with caramel and then put in oven.
Hi, interested in the pumpkin zucchini muffins recipe please
Hi Marti – Did this movie talk about pumpkin zucchini muffins?
Yes, right at the beginning, she made them when she was taking her daughter to college, stopped for gas and the daughter said she loved the Mom’s pumpkin zucchini muffins. The were in the red cup shaped paper with points.
I made the soup, everybody loved it! Thanks!
Marti, I’ll look for a good recipe for the muffins. It sounds like a combo of zucchini and pumpkin would make a very moist muffin!
The apple baked recipe please.
Sorry, Giota. I don’t know what apple baked recipe you are referring to.
I would live to know the recipe for the baked apples cameron and kelly used in the movie love, of course
Gwen, I think a lot of people would love that recipe, but Hallmark has not shared it anywhere that I know of. They should write a cookbook of all the dishes on the shows. So many of them sound and look delicious!
Is the baked apple recipe from @Love, Of Course still not available anywhere?
Claire, I’m not sure of the apple recipe. Perhaps a reader here can help!
Any word on where to get the Pumpkin Zucchini muffins she makes for her daughter at the beginning of the movie?
Lots of people would like to know, Carin. Hallmark needs to write a cookbook of some of foods shown in their movies!
