Homemade Chicken and Noodle Soup

If you ask my daughter what her favorite meal is at home, her answer will always be "your homemade chicken and noodle soup!" She loves it. I had never considered writing this recipe down before until her step mom asked me for the recipe recently. I've never really considered it a recipe because my mom taught me how to make it and she didn't use recipes. She just knew how to make things. Good things. 

So, here is the written version of my chicken and noodle soup:

Ingredients:

1 bag egg noodles, cooked al dente

1 rotisserie chicken, remove meat from bones and chop into chunks 

1 package celery, chopped

1 (2lb) bag of carrots, peeled and sliced 

2 medium onions, diced

2 tbs Better than Bouillon (chicken)

2 tbs dried parsley

Salt and pepper to taste (optional, I only use a bit of pepper)

Dash of Zatarain's seasoning to taste (optional)

In large stock pot, combine celery, carrots, and onions. Fill pot three quarters of the way full of water. Heat on high heat until boiling, then boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for approximately 30 minutes, until carrots are cooked through. Add chicken, Bouillon, and seasonings. Add more water if necessary to cover ingredients. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add cooked egg noodles and more water if necessary to cover egg noodles (taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary if adding more water). Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and serve hot. 

 

Hope you enjoy this as much as my daughter does!

May God Bless!
