Chicken Noodle Soup


Chicken noodle soup is such a classic that I don't make often enough.  A friend recommended Reames frozen noodles (found in the freezer section of the grocery store) so I wanted to try these noodles and soup sounded like a great option.  It was such a comforting soup and the noodles are really hearty and filling.  You should try them next time you go to the store!  The next day the soup broth pretty much absorbed into the noodles but it made a new dish... chicken and noodles! Anyway, it was really simple and quick and a great meal for when you get home late and want some soup, which happens quite often at our house.  Or when you're feeling under the weather, which is likely to happen at some point this winter!

So here's the simple recipe:

2 stalks celery
3 carrots
6 cups chicken/vegetable broth
Chicken (I used "fri-chick")
1 bag Reames noodles
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Chop the celery and carrots and saute in a little olive oil (5 min).  Add seasonings and saute another 2 min.  Add broth and chicken, when it comes to a boil, drop the noodles in and continue cooking about 20 minutes or until noodles are cooked.  Season with salt and pepper and that's it!
