Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup

Submitted by granny3 in illinois

"A nice hearty recipe. Freezes well. Sometimes I add a little minced garlic. It tastes good and is a nice soup for colds and flu and easy to prepare. I usually use chicken already prepared from the freezer and you can substitute dried carrots, onions and celery for fresh veg."

Yummy and quick to make. Used leftover roasted chicken and organic chicken broth. Sauteed the veggies in a little olive oil instead of butter. Garlic would be a great addition. My son loves chicken noodle soup but I refuse to buy the ickky canned stuff. He ate two bowls of this soup! Will be keeping individual portions in the freezer for his school lunches. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2007.

I added garlic just like you recommended, and also some green peas just because I like them in a chicken soup. The result was a heartwarming, yummy soup. The only change I would make next time is to reduce the amount of herbs by half as it was a bit much for me. Thank you.
