I think I've put chicken noodle soup on here before...but!



SUPER EASY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP!

6c water
2T chicken broth paste (can use bouillon or canned broth)
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 stalks of celery, finely chopped
1t salt
1t pepper
2 chx breast, cubed
1 1/2c small shell noodles


1. Bring water to a boil and add the chicken seasoning.
2. Peel carrots, trim celery and finely chop both.
3. Put veggies into boiling water/broth.
4. I had cooked chicken a few nights ago so all I had to do was chop it. This would be a GREAT recipe to use a precooked roast chicken from the store and just shred it in!
5. Add chicken to broth and veggies.
6. Cook for 15min to make sure veggies are cooked, add salt and pepper.
7. Turn off heat. Add the noodles.
8. I find that if I cook the noodles in boiling water and then let the noodles sit in the soup they get WAY too overdone, so that's why I shut the burner off to just let them chill and cook at their own pace without getting mushy. If you use bigger noodles, cook in boiling water for 5min then shut off the burner.

Can add parsley for a little flare if desired. This recipe is obviously simple and delicious! :)  You can add more veggies as well, perhaps fresh or frozen peas, corn, onion, greenbeans even!

Give this recipe a try! :)
