Feel Better Chicken Noodle Soup
I whipped this up last week when I was under the weather with a sinus infection/upper respiratory/fever thing. I had no appetite, but needed something warm and comforting, and this did the trick. (Oh, and my family didn't leave me any leftovers, either! Thanks a lot, guys!) I used frozen home-made chicken stock with chicken harvested from a small fryer, but in a pinch, canned broth and chicken might work, too. Any short pasta would be fine.
INGREDIENTS
Nutrition- 2quarts chicken stock
- 1 1⁄2cups cooked chicken (or more to taste)
- 2
- 1
- 1
- 8ounces egg noodles or 8 ounces elbow macaroni
DIRECTIONS
- Place broth, chicken, carrots, zucchini, and celery in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the veggies begin to soften.
- Add noodles and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Ladle into a large mug (that you can hold and sip in bed!) and serve with saltine crackers.
- Feel better!
