Squirrel Noodle Soup

Recipe Contributed by Managing Editor K. Slye.

For many hunters small game is the first type of game they hunt and harvest.  Seasons are long, bag limits are generous, and game is plentiful.  A hunter needs little more than a rifle or shot gun and a handful of shells to be fully equipped.

This past fall I thought my daughter would enjoy a morning of squirrel hunting with her old man.  Early on in October the fall chill had yet to take effect in Pennsylvania.  It was a perfect Saturday for her first squirrel hunt.

We lucked into some squirrel and my daughter was able to experience the whole process of harvesting her own meal.  She eagerly carried the day’s bounty out of the woods to the truck, and was attentive and curious as I cleaned and skinned the squirrel.  I wanted to make something with the squirrel even a 4-year-old, picky eater would enjoy.  What better than squirrel noodle soup!
