Since my hubby's been feeling under the weather (he didn't go to work or night classes for two days!) I decided to make homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner. I already had a chicken breast that I had boiled from earlier this week, so that part was taken care of. Just a few other ingredients that I usually have on hand, and shazam! it was tasty. So much healthier than the sodium-packed canned chicken noodle soup! Whole wheat noodles and lots of carrots step up the nutrition factor. Easy Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup (serves 2-3)
3 cups water + 2 chicken bullion cubes (or 3 cups chicken broth)
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 to 3/4 cup dry whole wheat spaghetti noodles, broken to 2 inch pieces
1 chopped or shredded, cooked chicken breast
salt and pepper to taste
1. Bring water, celery salt, parsley, and chicken bullion to a boil. Add chopped carrots and boil for 5 minutes with the lid on.
2. Add chopped chicken breast and noodles. Bring to boil and simmer until noodles are done, about 8 minutes. Keep the lid on to avoid losing all the broth as steam. If the liquid seems low, just add more water.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
*I should note that measurements are approximate. You can add more or less of ingredients to suit your taste and the thickness of the soup.
