Chicken Noodle Soup

Hey everyone! So I am still on a roll with my blog posts. (Aren't you proud of me?) LOL. Now, think post is about the chicken noodle soup I made the same day I made the Homemade Chicken Broth. It only made sense to make chicken noodle soup after making the broth. Therefore, if you are making the broth, try this recipe and let me know what you think.

Take care!

Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients:

• Chicken Broth (homemade or store bought or even water and chicken bullion cubes)
• Chicken, cooked
• Pasta
• Carrots, cut into chunks
• Celery, cut into chunks
• Onions, cut into slices
• Bell Peppers (only if you want them in your soup), cut into slices
• Seasonings: basil, thyme, black pepper, crushed pepper, Adobo, onion powder, garlic powder, etc.

Directions:

•  Crock-Pot Users

1. Place the amount of pasta you would like in your soup into the crock-pot. Note: The pasta will draw in the liquid so do not add to much if you are not making a lot of soup or adding a lot of broth.
2. Add the celery, carrots, onions, and bell peppers that were used for the homemade chicken broth to the crock-pot. 
3. Add the meaty chicken parts to the crock-pot (If you used chicken parts that had meat on them, you can strip it off of the bone and add it here.).
4. Add broth to cover over the ingredients in the pot by about an inch. (Can always add more broth later if you need to.)
5. Add as much seasoning as you need to to ensure the broth will taste the way you would like it.
6. Cover and cook for 4 hours on high (8 hours on low). (If you are not sure if it is seasoned enough, around the third hour, do a taste test and and what seasonings you need.)
   
7. Once the time is up, enjoy!

• Non-Crock-Pot Users

1. Follow steps 1-5 above, just place everything in your dutch oven or stock pot.
2. Once everything is in your pot, slowly bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes or until vegetable are tender (if using raw vegetables).
3. Once everything is cooked, enjoy!

 Note: Make as much soup as you would like. I didn't add any exact measurements because I usually make enough for 3-4 servings.
