Chicken noodle soup is healthy and delicious.

This chicken noodle soup is such a comfort food.  If I have a cold or I am feeling bad, a bowl of this soup with some cornbread makes me feel better! Check out my cornbread muffins here.

Ingredients for chicken noodle soup:

3 large chicken breasts, chopped  (I use the boneless, skinless ones)

1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

1 medium onion, chopped

2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup, undiluted

1 cup celery, chopped

1 cup carrots, chopped (Optional)

5 cups water

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon thyme

2 bay leaves

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2  (16 ounce) bag of egg noodles or you can make your own noodles.

Place all ingredients in a large soup pot except noodles.  Bring to a boil, turn down to simmer and cook until chicken and carrots are done. (I left the carrots out because I don’t like them in this soup but a lot of people do). Add noodles and simmer another 30 minutes.  Makes about 3 quarts of soup.  Enjoy!

Note:  You can make this soup quicker using about 4 cups of cooked chicken and leaving out the carrots.  Great if you have chicken left over.  I have also made it in the crockpot, cooking on high for 4 hours or low for 7 and adding the noodles about the last hour or so.
