Have you been buying canned Organic Chicken Noodle Soup thinking you're saving time and money? Does the celebrity chef on the label impress you? Let's make some from scratch in 45 minutes so you can be your home's own celebrity chef!
Sauté the carrots and celery with a tablespoon of vegetable oil and a couple teaspoons of salt and pepper in a large stock pot just until they're tender - about 10 minutes over medium low heat.
Add 6 cups of chicken broth and 6 cups of water (both room temp), a couple tablespoons of freshly minced parsley, and a half pound of egg noodles to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer and taste for salt and pepper.
While the soup is coming to a simmer dice the chicken in to small 1/2 inch pieces.
Once the noodles are done turn off the heat and remove the pot from the stove top. Stir the chicken in to the soup and let it sit for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Notes
Feel free to improvise with seasoning. A few dashes of Cayenne pepper are especially helpful for a head cold or the flu.
