Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup

Honestly I cannot think of a more perfect food!  This one is an absolute family favorite!  My children GOBBLE this up, and the hubby and I love it too!!  Super easy, super delicious, and packed with veggies and love!


Ingredients:
Chicken
Chicken Broth
Noodles
Olive Oil
Celery
Carrots
Onion
Garlic
Bok Choy (optional)
Rosemary
Salt & Pepper
Parsley (optional)

Directions:
Start by dicing up the celery, carrots, onion, and garlic.  Heat olive oil medium heat in your soup pot.  Once warmed add celery, carrots, onion, and garlic to pot.  Stir occasionally about 3-5 minutes. Add chicken broth, noodles, and chicken.  Bring to low boil and cook until chicken is cooked, this will depend on the size of your chicken  about 5-7.  Chicken doesn't need to be completely cooked through as it will continue to cook once diced. Remove chicken and allow to cool for a few minute while noodles finish cooking.  At this time add in Parsley, and Bok Choy, Rosemary, Salt and Pepper to taste.  Dice chicken and add to pot.  YUM!!

Sometimes I make this without the chicken.  The Bok choy and parsley add some greens to this, and my kiddos love it!!  I call that a BIG WIN!! 

*TIP* I like to use wheat noodles (no yolks)  I also like to use fresh rosemary. This keeps in the refrigerator for quite a while.  You could also use oregano  I didn't put quantities, because it doesn't matter much.  It's your soup, make it to your liking.  I use a large stock pot and use four large cartons of chicken stock the rest of the ingredients I use whatever I have on hand.  You could also use kale in this recipe! To make this easier you could use a rotisserie chicken, or canned shredded chicken.  This recipe is awesome and super easy!
