Ingredients
Method
- 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.
